The Bruce Springsteen song "Blinded by the Light" was real long winded. I don't think his version was considered a pop song, but the Manfred Mann version definitely was.

"A version of the song recorded by Manfred Mann's Earth Band was a major hit, reaching #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 on 19 February 1977. As of 2007, the Manfred Mann's Earth Band recording of "Blinded by the Light" is still Springsteen's only Number 1 single as a songwriter on the Hot 100."
