"Slow Night, So Long" is a song by American rock band Kings of Leon. It is the opening track on their 2005 album "Aha Shake Heartbreak". The song is characterized by prominent percussion and a jutting, jittery guitar riff reminiscent of The Who. The studio version of the song itself ends at approximately 2:40 and is followed by a piano driven, latin/calypso-infused coda, which features Caleb Followill crooning:

"Rise and shine, all you gold digger mothers / are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys".

In recent concerts, the band has used the song to close their sets. When the band toured with Pearl Jam, as well as during Lollapalooza 2007, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder would come out playing tambourines and sing the song alongside Caleb Followill, trading lines with the Kings of Leon lead singer.
