A Music Trope. A character in a musical or band ends his song singing a long note. A very long note. An incredibly long note, in fact. Jesus, how much breath does this guy have?! Can become an Overly Long Gag if held ridiculously long—and it often is—unless, of course, it's not meant to be a gag at all. A parodic version, for instance, would demonstrate just how unbearably long the character is holding that note for, and other characters will probably try to stop it. Doesn't have to be the last note of the song, by the way—long notes tend to appear in the middle of the song as well. Often done after Chewing the Scenery through the song. If the note is particularly loud or high, it might become a Glass-Shattering Sound. Not to be confused with one character leaving another one 'a quick note' that goes on for several sheets of paper.

One episode of The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo found the gang needed to stall until sunrise to fend off the ghosts. Asking for a last request of a song, Scooby holds the last note until sunrise. It's only about twenty to thirty seconds from our perspective, but it's long enough to annoy everyone else. | |

It is not uncommon for the actor playing Fyedka in productions of Fiddler on the Roof to see how long he can hold the "Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaazaaaaaaar" in "L'Chaim (To Life)" - with said actor usually holding it until the audience starts applauding. It is also not uncommon for betting to be going on backstage about when said actor will pass out. | |

Farinelli: The title character, an 18th-century castrato, is able to hold a high note so long, he causes women in the audience to swoon. At one point he deliberately holds it long enough to give Haendel a heart attack. | |

"My Pink Half of the Drainpipe" by the The Bonzo Dog Band ends with Vivian Stanshall hitting a dramatic high note that goes on and on and on (and is clearly a looped tape), after the band itself has stopped, and cuts off abruptly at songs' end. | |

SiIvaGunner: The high quality rip of Sega Rally's famous "Game Over Yeah" extends the "yeah" for 36 minutes. [1] Similarly, the high quality rip of "Live and Learn" from Sonic Adventure 2 extends the first "oooh" to last the entire song. |

Wicked has this happen a lot, in the form of "The Wizard And I" (Twice!) and "No Good Deed" (FOUR TIMES!) Stephen Schwartz explicitly said that while a mezzo-soprano, the vocal range for Elphaba's role in every other song, might be able to pull it off, she also needs to be a belter for the second number alone. | |

Company: The title song has two ensemble verses, each ending with everybody singing "We looooooooooove you!" The second time around, the word "love" is sustained for at least a dozen bars. In the original production, the cast sung this note while on an elevator between the two levels of the set, and since there was no way to make the elevator go faster, the note had to be sustained until it reached its destination. Beeiiiiiiiiiiiiing AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!!! Damn it, Raul Esparza! |

Mabel introducing herself in The Pirates of Penzance, if the actress can pull it off. (Actually, that's a cadenza, typically of around 30 very short, very staccato notes, but still with no opportunity to breathe between them.) | |

A lot of artists on The Voice tend to drag out the last note of their performances as long as possible in a last-ditch attempt to try and get the judges to turn around. In this example from The Voice UK auditionee Ruth Brown holds the last note of "When Love Takes Over" for an astonishing 16 seconds - and it convinces Tom Jones to pick her. Don't think that's very long? You try it. | |

Similarly, at the end of Harrison's "I Want To Tell You" from Revolver George, John and Paul hold the word "time" well into the fade out. The end of "A Day In The Life" from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band has all four of the Beatles striking a final chord on a piano that lasts 45 seconds. During recording, as the piano faded Lennon turned the gain up so that it remained audible for longer. |

"And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from Dreamgirls is one of the best-known examples in modern theater; it includes not one but two Incredibly Long Notes at the end, back to back. This is the reason Jennifer Holiday won a Tony in 1982 and Jennifer Hudson an Oscar in 2007. There is no mediocrity with this song. Performing it is either a singer's Moment of Awesome or biggest Epic Failure. | |

In Chicago, the second last note in "We Both Reached for the Gun" usually is a long note, but this actor holds it for freaking 23 seconds solely for this purpose. Showoff... The actor playing Billy Flynn is seemingly given license to hold that penultimate note for as long as they want. And, if you think that 23 seconds is a long time, the current (at least, as of April 2016) record holder goes to Jason Danieley, who managed to keep the note going for 35 and a half seconds. The video proving it even has him move closer to the backstage camera and spin around while holding the note, just to have the audio prove that it's all coming from the zeppelin dirigibles mounted in his rib cage. |

In the Bugs Bunny short "Long-Haired Hare", Bugs pretends to be a conductor in order to torment opera singer Giovanny Jones (in retribution for destroying his instruments and injuring him in the process). Near the end he has Jones hold a note for 45 seconds, until it causes the collapse of the orchestra shell above the singer's head, and then for a few more seconds when he causes a rock teetering on the collapsed frame to fall onto Jones, presumably crushing his skull. (In other words, Bugs literally "brought down the house".) This scene was directly referenced in the SCTV "Godfather" parody, with Luciano Pavarotti (John Candy) holding an extended high note. |

Glee: Kurt's audition features this gem from Chicago: "Never! Even! Knooooooooooooooooooooo *fixes his hair* ooooooooooooooooow I'm there." The score for the song "Mr. Cellophane" actually says "vocalist continues note after orchestra stops"; though there is no indication that this is a gag, it is often played that way to emphasize the injustice of the character's invisibility. |

Johnny Depp? Not so much. Johanna and Anthony have ALOT of these. The Beadle has about 3 in "Ladies and Their Sensitivities" Also Pirelli. Oh Lord, Pirelli. |

In Shrek, Fiona starts singing with a bird, but they do a note so long and so high the bird explodes. That last note is also horrendously off-key. Cameron Diaz was unable to hit the note, much less sustain it, so they had to bring in a professional opera singer to do the singing part there. Y'know what they say: it takes a very good singer to sound that bad. | |

Stratovarius are fond of this, particularly in "Out of the Shadows" ("WEEEEE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!") and especially "Fantasia", in which Timo Kotipelto holds "Let us all uniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite" for an impressive length of time, then continues singing immediately after it. And then does it again later in the song. The best example, however, has to be "Dreamspace", at the end of which Timo Tolkki sings "No hope left, I want to" and then belts out a falsetto "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!" which lasts for about 20 seconds. | |

Pokémon, believe it or not, has a couple, even if they don't have any lyrics or anything. Examples are: Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire's Gym Leader Battle, Champion Battle; Pokémon Diamond and Pearl's Route 212, Rival Battle; and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's remix of the Kanto's Gym Leader Battle (even though previous remixes have a shorter long note), and also Ghetsis' Battle remix. The longest and highest note of all Pokémon history (so far) is Reshiram/Zekrom's Battle theme, which the third to last part of the song ends with one that goes for 17 FUCKING SECONDS. | |

In a slightly more subtle example, in the Foo Fighters song "Monkey Wrench", Dave Grohl starts a rant with "One last thing..." coming out of the bridge and finishes with a long-held "freeeeee" — the entire thing is done without a pause for breath and is over twenty seconds of shouting. This was almost certainly done through editing; it's notable that in live performances, Dave never has enough breath to get through the whole thing. | |

Eurovision Song Contest: The 2008 edition has Azerbaijan's representatives, Elnur and Samir, with TWO EXAMPLES!!!! The 1996 edition has Croatia's Maja Blagdan, whose note is so high, that has even a 30 second length! The 2011 edition has France's Amaury Vassili and Ukraine's Mika Newton, whose notes are primarily used at their songs' endings. The 2012 contest has Albania's Rona Nishliu, whose note is as quite long, as her voice became really high-pitched! Another 2012 edition contestant is Spain's Pastora Soler, whose note is as long as it's actually just a bloodcurdling scream! The 2013 edition has Romania's Cezar Ouatu, whose note has an almost one minute length! Paula Seling, of Paula Seling and Ovi, who both of them represented Romania for two times at Eurovision, is really a Large Ham! She even held two of them at both her performances! Mei Finegold, the Israeli contestant during the 2014 contest, led out a note so high, that it durated at least 20 seconds! The 2016 edition has Ukraine's Jamala, whose note is so high, as it durated one minute! The 2017 edition has Switzerland's Timebelle's leading singer, Runa, whose final note is so high that durated at least 29 seconds! The 2018 edition has Israel's Netta and Estonia's Elina Netšajeva. The 2019 edition has Australia's Kate-Miller Heidke and Czechia's Albert Cerny. The 1998 edition has Imaani, the UK's entrant, who ends on a rather high note, who touches the duration of a half-minute! The lost 2020 edition would have been another trial for Croatia, with Damir Kedžo for this time, holding one at his entry's climax. The 2021 edition has Israel's Eden Alene, which now holds Maja Blagdan (Croatia 1996)'s record. |

In the stage version of Mamma Mia!, Donna sings "The winner takes it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall!" three times during said song's final chorus, with the third time usually lasting as long as the singer can hold the last note (the end of the song is quieter and much less powerful in the film version). | |

One of the "Fenslerfilm" G.I. Joe PSAs features an incredibly long belch. Well, that is not really the example contained in this entry; rather, they do it again right afterwards by stretching out the usual sung "G.I. Jooooooooe" to about 20 seconds just to cement the Overly Long Gag. | |

A lot of barbershop songs end with a single held note (called a "post") and the other three parts resolving around it. YouTube multi-tracker Finey Leee demonstrates for your enjoyment. (34 seconds, for those wondering.) And no mention of barbershop would be complete without a shout-out to Tim Waurick, who is no stranger to 30-second posts as seen here. (skip to 3:50) |

When Vinny from Vinesauce played an HD mod of Super Mario Sunshine, the music would sometimes glitch out, leaving it stuck playing the first note of the current song. Vinny called this glitch a "one-note remix", and it became a Running Gag throughout his streams. In the Big Rock Ending of "Tired of Love" from his band Red Vox, he holds the last "love" for a whopping sixteen seconds. |

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel features one in the Steiner Welcome Song, where the lifeguard holds the last note of the male solo for a very long 25 seconds. It's tradition that someone will try to drag out the last note (with the resort record being 42 seconds). Joel arrives mid-note (relieved to have missed the "bear shit" joke) and immediately calls the lifeguard an amateur. | |

Coco: Ernesto's version of "Remember Me" ends on a rather long high note, leading to the big bell to fall and crush him to his death. Same with Héctor's original version, but on a quieter, more gentle chord. The end finale song "Proud Corazón" has Miguel pull one of these in the final crescendo. |

The Phantom of the Opera: In both Phantom and its stage sequel Love Never Dies, the Phantom gets a long note to cap off his solo songs, "Music of the Night" and "Till I Hear You Sing" respectively. In some live productions, the husband does this during the mock opera sequence 'Il Muto' (if the actor can handle it). "I shall not leave, but shall hide over there to obseeeeeeerve heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-(five minutes later)-eeeeeer." Bonus points for also being an incredibly low note. It often gets applause! The last stretch of the title song involve Christine vocalising a series of very high and long notes, demonstrating (a) what the Phantom has taught her and (b) how he puts her in a near-hypnotised state. Being able to hold a clear and steady note at the proper pitch for so long means that Christine's part is only for the best sopranos. Tellingly, aside from a single verse of "I Remember / Stranger Than You Dreamt It", Christine doesn't have any lines until Il Muto near the end of Act 1, likely to give the actress a rest after that song. "You will curse the day you did not doooooo all that the Phantom asked of yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooou!" (Some singers manage to hold that note for over 30 seconds...) |
