Songs you wish were longer

To the above:

[lackedpunch]

"Touched" by My Bloody Valentine. 56 seconds of transcendant wonder.

[Lang Spoon]

It’s a cracker right enough.

[Jon]

Old Town Road is great but it really needs an extra verse. The original is only 1.53, the shortest number one single since Herman's Hermits 'I'm Henry 8th, I am' from 1965. And the Billy Ray Cyrus remix is still only just over 2 and a half minutes long.

[WOM]

None. God luv ya if you can write a short song, story, joke, movie or book. The more economical the better. Too many of the aforementioned are just too goddamn long; good ideas stretched thin until they snap.

[Amor de Cosmos]

Visions of Johanna is seven and a half minutes long, but twice as long wouldn't be enough.

[Cal Alamein]

A glorious 1:38 - could handle more time but it does brilliantly seque to THE HAMMER

Oh, and the 1:26 for R-A-M-O-N-E-S is the perfect time.

Wire-Outdoor Miner

There is a longer version of this song but it really isn't improved and the extra piano solo - though nice enough - dissipates the perfection somewhat. What do you think?

[Bored Of Education]

Excellent choices. I could handle "Overkill" having a few more reprises.

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

Hey Jude could have done with a few more choruses.

[Sits]

And Hot Love a few more la-la-las?

[Sporting]

I Want You (She's So Heavy)

[Eggchaser]

Not longer, but by God Word Up! by Cameo needs something, anything to fill the outro, it's a karaoke track for the last minute or so.
