Lennonpituus

Lennonpituus, also known as "Lennon length," is a term used in the music industry to describe the standard length of a song, specifically 4 minutes and 20 seconds. This length was popularized by John Lennon, a prominent figure in the Beatles, who often wrote songs of this duration. The term "Lennonpituus" is Finnish, and it has been adopted by music enthusiasts and industry professionals to refer to this specific song length.

The 4:20 length is not arbitrary; it is believed to have been chosen by Lennon as a tribute to the hashish culture of the 1960s. The phrase "4:20" is often associated with the time when marijuana enthusiasts would gather to smoke the drug. Lennon's use of this length in his songs has led to the term "Lennonpituus" being used to describe any song of this duration.

The 4:20 length has become a cultural phenomenon, with many songs, both famous and obscure, fitting this duration. It has also been used in various contexts, such as in the naming of products and events. The term "Lennonpituus" is a testament to the enduring influence of John Lennon and the Beatles on popular culture.
