## Key points

- “Hey Jude” helped popularise extended song endings.
- Harrison’s “Isn’t It A Pity” nods to its famous chorus.
- Three other artists gave their songs distinctive long codas.

## Summary

The article looks at four songs with extended closing sections that echo the singalong ending of The Beatles’ “Hey Jude”. The 1968 single’s success helped make lengthy outros more appealing to other artists.

George Harrison’s “Isn’t It A Pity” includes a quiet “na-na-na” callback in its seven-minute-plus version on *All Things Must Pass*. The other examples are Derek And The Dominos’ “Layla”, Rod Stewart’s 1976 “The Killing Of Georgie (Part I And Part II)” and Oasis’s “All Around The World”, released on *Be Here Now* in 1997; each uses its closing section to add emotional weight or uplift.
