It's the longest song ever recorded by Weird Al Yankovic. He'd wanted to compose a song "that's just going to annoy people for 12 minutes," Yankovic is quoted as saying (on the epic song's page on Wikipedia).

The name of the song? "Albuquerque." And there's actually a 12-minute animated movie version of it.


The strangest thing is it's actually not a bad song, with a certain amount of punk-rock-ish cred. And after slogging through all 12 minutes, it arrives at its semi-affirming finale:

Al - buquerque!
Albuquerque! Albuquerque! Albuquerque! Albuquerque....!
