The Longest Song On The World
You may have heard of long songs, but did you here for a song that will be played continuously for 1,000 years?! Longplayer
is a track designed to last a thousand years. In particular,it began to
play the January 1, 2000 and, if everything goes in smoothly, it will
continue without repetition until December 31, 2999, when it is
restarted. The song is based on an existing piece of music, particularly
in a traditional Tibetan song that is being played with cymbals, which
resembles very much a synthesis of bell sounds. This lasts 20 minutes
and 20 seconds, time which is processed by computer using a simple
algorithm. This has the effect of creating a large number of variants,
which, when played in succession, give a total execution time 1000 years
old! Check it out…

Lowest Note Ever Sung
Roger Menees has been recognized by the
Guinness Book of World Records for singing the lowest note ever
recorded. The gospel singer and tour bus driver from southern Illinois
reached a croaking f-sharp in Carbondale, Illinois. He always thought
his bass voice was lower than all the others, now he has the certificate
from Guinness to prove it. Menees was dead on right when he said the
note wasn’t going to be very pretty. His goal he explained was to
vibrate his vocal cords at the slowest possible speed. By measurement,
his vocal cords vibrated at about 3 vibrations per second on this video:
Highest Note Ever Sung
Vocal range is the measure of the
breadth of pitches that a human voice can phonate. Adam Lopez Costa is a
pop musician, vocal coach, and session vocalist. He is noted for his
ability to produce extremely high notes in his whistle register and for
his extensive vocal range. He is currently a Guinness World Record
holder for singing the highest note by a male – a half step above the C
in the 8th octave (C♯8), or a half-step above the highest note on a
standard 88-key piano. Don’t believe it? Check out:
World Record For Longest Continuous Vocal Note
The Guinness World Record for longest
continuous vocal note (previously 57sec) was shattered on September 8th
2009 by Richard Fink IV (USA) at GFI Studios in Webster NY, with an
official time of astonishing 1 minute and 43 seconds following GWR’s
strict guidelines. When you hear this you’ll have to agree that this guy
is awesome!
The Biggest Crowd In The World
A New Years celebration featuring Rod
Stewart with the largest concert crowd ever. The wonderful Copacabana
Beach in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil was overcrowed with singing and
celebrating audience. There were unbelievably 3.5 million people at this
New Year’s Eve concert!
Best Selling Single of All Time
The version sung by Bing Crosby is the
best-selling single of all time, with estimated sales in excess of 50
million copies worldwide. Believe it or not that single is statistically
above Elton John with single “Candle in the Wind 1997″/”Something About
the Way You Look Tonight” (33 million copies) and his single “Silent
Night” (1935) is holding third place with 30 million copies worldwide!
World Record Guitar Speed
Tiago della Vega is a Brazilian
guitarist. Born in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, he began learning
to play the acoustic guitar at the age of five. After a year, he
realized that the electric guitar was his greatest passion. He started
to study electric guitar, practicing 16 hours a day! We guess that’s why
on October 16, 2011 in Cannes Festival Della Vega attempted to beat the
600 bpm record of John Taylor by kicking it up to 750 bpm. Some on
Youtube have said that he has submitted it to the Guinness Book of World
Records. It has yet to be approved by Guinness…
The Loudest Band Ever
On July 15, 2009, in Ottawa, Canada, the band KISS achieved a SPL of 136 dB measured during their live performance. After noise complaints from neighbors in the area, the band was forced to turn the volume down. It’s interesting that before them, Manowar achieved a SPL of 139 dB during the sound check at the Magic Circle Fest in 2008 but that was not the actual performance so that doesn’t count…The Weirdest Song?!
This is definitely very subjective
question, but if we organize competition for the weirdest song (and
video) this would be one of the favorites for the golden medal. Check it
out and send us your suggestions (if you have “better” one). Ladies and
gentlemen please be prepared for Diamanda Galás song:
