“Home Again,” the first single off Elton John’s Diving Board EP, is the longest five-minute song ever recorded. Here’s a fun experiment you can try: Turn off your lights, dim your computer screen, and press “play” on the YouTube embed above. Once it’s over, try to turn the lights on. Nothing, right? This is because the bulbs’ filaments have turned into dust inside their vacuum seals. Call your friends. They won’t pick up, as they have succumbed to old age. Don’t feel bad; they had long, fulfilling lives while you to listened to “Home Again.” [Source]
