The Beatles song Hey Jude is great for this. There are natural changes when you'd increase resistance - plus it is fairly long.
I tried something like this today. I put together a bunch of songs that I thought might work, and treated them as hills if there were natural spots to increase resistance, and as "spinny" songs if there weren't.

Man, I know I haven't been on the bike for a while, but I didn't know I was that out of shape!
