The Boxer, by Simon and Garfunkel. 2 minutes of great lyrics, followed by 3 minutes of "lie la lie."

Not just the ending. All of "Hey Jude". Never liked that song and especially disliked the long version.

... as the song that played over and over and over at the very first unsupervised, unchaperoned
party I went to in the hot, steamy, sweaty basement of a friend's house. I was snuggling and
grinding embarrassedly-and-excitingly-boner-close with my crush at the time and I wished that
the song would never, EVER end.

Sounds the same from beginning to end, and seems to go on forever. Made listening to radio brutal in the 1980's.

I would change radio stations, because I then knew it would be ages before some song I liked might be played!
