Songs that are too damn short:

[wickerwoman]

I always liked the U2 cover of "Everlasting Love" but it's something like 1'10". How can it be everlastling love if the song is shorter than an average trip to the bathroom?

To put it another way,

for the more romantically inclined, which songs do you wish could last forever? Which songs do you hit repeat on over and over, hoping to draw them out?

1. most early elvis costello

[Scurrilous]

2. The Byrd's version...

..of Mr. Tambourine Man.

[papau]

3. Janis - and "Lord won't you give me"

She even says "that's it" as she laughs at how short the song was.

[NewHampshireDem]

4. Blur's "Song 2"

Way too short ... not that it should last forever, but it could be a little longer ... but that's punk I guess :)

5. 3 Mins 22 Seconds (or whatever it's called)

It should go on for much longer. The twists and turns, the subtle variances... masterpiece of music

[Whitacre D_WI]

7. I think you may be referring to 4:22?

The John Cage piece?

[MichaelUK]

8. Thats the one

Cheers

6. The White Stripes

Hotel Yorba. About 1:40.

[DoNotRefill]

9. Sloppy Seconds' "Pop my Dick" at around 15 seconds...

The lyrics are:

"Oh, pop, pop, pop my dick.
Oh, pop, pop, pop my dick.
Oh, pop, pop, pop my dick,
POP MY DICK YOU SONOFABITCH!"

I guess you've gotta be a Sloppy Seconds fan to appreciate it...

I like food, food tastes good!
I like food, food tastes good!
Juicy burgers, greasy fries,
Turkey legs and raw fish eyes
Teenage girls, with ketchup too!
Get out of my way, or I'll eat you
I like food, food tastes good!
I like food, food tastes good!
I'm going to turn dining
back into eating
I like food, food tastes good!
I like food, food tastes good!
