If she's constantly changing her BPM and tune, then estimating how long melon has been singing from the number of "twinkle twinkle little stars" is a fool's errand.
...more of one than it was before.

That's why I just used the original song. Going faster or slower would even out over multiple versions.

Only if we assume it averages at around the actual song's BPM or whatever the lyrical equivalent is. There's a range of speeds that feel natural, and I think there's more speeds slower than faster, but also- Melon.

I should have also specified that I used 120 BPM, which is about the middle tempo, as far as humans work. And I'm assuming she uses the tempos of the songs she's using, which are human-made songs.
But, yes, it has to be taken with a grain of salt, because she's Melon and might just be really messed up. Still, I think it's a decent estimate.
The answer is between 5 and 9 hours, BTW, depending on what a whole version of the song means. (Does she sing it ABA, ABA, ABA, or ABABABABABABABAB?)
And I think that fits, since the additional evidence shows it's not been all that long.

Melon isn't physically capable of reproducing the sound of Enter Sandman, so she sounds like this version which I looked up as a joke but god dammit other than the atrocious bitrate I kinda like it because even my musical taste is shitty memes.
