Title: What's the best song less than 2 minutes long?
Post by: fairweatherfan on November 16, 2012, 11:19:06 AM: Thought this would be a fun topic for a Friday. I'll start with a couple of my favorites:

TP for starting the thread with a White Stripes tune. Thats probably my favorite under 2 minutes.

A lot of stuff on Eddie Vedder's "Into the Wild" soundtrack is under 2 minutes. There is some great tunes on that soundtrack.

Post by: Chris on November 16, 2012, 01:04:10 PM: Always loved this song (which was part of one of my favorite sampler CDs ever, consisting of only 30 second or less songs).

No worries - feel free to think out loud so we can get to a second page and have videos show up again ;)

TPs all around BTW; some great quick hitters here for a Friday afternoon.

Its 2:30, doesn't count, but it was our wedding song, and its wicked short. I recommend everyone have it as their wedding song.

Post by: LarBrd33 on November 16, 2012, 01:26:34 PM: The Beatles "Yesterday" is technically 2 minutes long (2:03 to be exact, I think... but it basically ends at 2) ... And since it's considered the 13th greatest song of all time by "Rolling Stone" magazine, it probably should be on the list:

Post by: LarBrd33 on November 16, 2012, 01:48:30 PM: Going through Rolling Stone's top 100... I'm determined to find a winner. "Yesterday" was technically 2:03 ...
... Here I go:

Heartbreak Hotel was 2:08: http://youtu.be/PotB76gi2_4 ...

Long Tall Sally was 2:10: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsJVT8Jr_pM

Papa's Got a Brand New Bag was 2:07: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ogGAiyjMNY

"Norweigian Wood" was 2:05: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxxGVjLNpek

"Blitzkrieg Bop" is 2:12: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElX7x_qNUYQ

"Good Golly Miss Molly is 2:04: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5VkTcmQxD8

WINNER: Eddie Cochran - Summertime Blues 1:53: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeWC59FJqGc
#74 Greatest song of all time... #1 song under 2 minutes.

... It also looks like the studio version of "Great Balls of Fire" was under 2 minutes, but that was #96 on Rolling Stone's list... so perhaps it's runner up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrgY01VEwgM
Title: Re: What's the best song less than 2 minutes long?
Post by: LarBrd33 on November 16, 2012, 02:07:14 PM: FYI, I asked my friend what he thought the best was... and he went with this 35 second song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGzgwbnB7eM

My personal favorite is 30 seconds long... It's my ringtone and I use it as an intro to any silly youtube video I make: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGslXxLBl7s

I asked my dad and he says "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"...

And then he said, "Janis - Mercedes Bens" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-GFqhCq2HA ... Not bad
Title: Re: What's the best song less than 2 minutes long?
Post by: ederson on November 16, 2012, 02:11:14 PM: i`ll stick to modern releases cause there are too many "less then 2mins" songs in the 50s-60s

My fav if supermarketsong by dEUS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4LeaONrVhQ
the video is much longer but the song lasts 1.57

honorary mention:
dEUS : opening night (their album "in a bar under the sea" is a masterpiece)

Yann Tiersen L'Autre Valse D'Amelie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcmktJEKCvE

DJ Shadow Organ Donor
i can`t find the labum version that lasts 1.57

Alan Parsons Project Sirius (ok maybe i shouldn`t post this :D)

"Happy Birthday to You"
Right up there with my dad's suggestion of "Twinkle Twinkle LIttle Star"... but hard to argue with this classic. People sing it daily.

Blur's Song 2, obviously.
Title: Re: What's the best song less than 2 minutes long?
Post by: jambr380 on November 16, 2012, 05:13:50 PM: Blur, 'Song 2' is a great choice for a more mainstream option and I also love the Descendents choice!

Here are a couple of my faves from Bad Religion - 'Sinister Rouge' and 'No Control'.

Beatles -Just happy to dance with you
Vna Halen -Eruption
cake- race car yayas
clash- 1977
crosby, still nash and young -find the price of freedom
simon and garfunkel -feeling groovy
elvis- all shook up

People will be listening to these ones years later, they still are....

"Happy Birthday to You"
;) TP. I was going to say this, Nick! Everyone knows the words. Everyone would be disappointed if it wasn't sung to them once a year. It always signifies a special day.
