Great songs under 2 minutes long

coolerthantv [Edit] [Delete] 136 replies 14:52 February 16th, 2012

I have a short attention span today. I just tried to listen to 'Impossible Soul' and couldn't bear it, and to be honest I think even a 5 minute song might be a struggle. I should probably go to a doctor, but until then- what are your favourite songs under 2 minutes long?

Youtube links please!

- I think I like Pavement when they sound like this the most, at the moment anyway..
  
  Raw and unpolished guitars and shouty vocals. Good stuff

    I admire the effort of putting the timing in though to prove you aren't cheating. 'Please Please Please...' is probably the most famous short song, perfect for a soppy advert, you might say.
    
    Some good stuff I haven't heard before. Can't find the Hummingbirds or 'General Franco' anywhere mind.

    - you won't be able to find either of them
      
      so it was a bit dumb of me to put them. The first is a one-time semi-successful 80s/90s Australian indie band, and the other is a very obscure 80s/90s Australian indie band — though, both bands featured the person that wrote one of the Lemonheads' biggest hits: Into My Arms.

When I'm feeling a bit ADD, J Dilla's Donuts is ideal

31 tracks, of which one is 2:57 (so ignore that one), and the rest are all under two minutes. Top album, partly because the tunes don't outstay their welcome and frequently end really abruptly.

hexagram | 16 Feb '12, 16:36 | X | ^ This | Reply
- Oh yes, one of my all-time favourite albums.
  
  Kind of rinsed it this week since furryfan's Dilla thread though. Sort of what inspired me to make this thread! Plus, I don't really count them as songs, more beats. A lot of them seem incomplete and as you say, end abruptly- not that this is any detriment to the album of course.
  
  My favourite changes week on week. 'Gobstopper' is on constant repeat at the moment.

    I like the work-in-progress feel of it, and the way that it does sound like blueprints. Loads of the tracks did make it on other albums of course(e.g. Ghostface's Fishscale, Raekwon's Cuban Linx II and DOOM's Born Like This).
    
    Sometimes a beat is what you want when you're feeling antsy and you've drunk too much coffee to listen to a whole song with words.

So, my answer is Trompe Le Monde...

cos how can it not be a Pixies song?

I go on youtube to find it and get the Pixies on Letterman with Paul Shaffer (?) and his band doing their best to ruin it while being transparently tumescent at being close to a band with an iota of credibility.

It's quite funny and a little depressing at the same time.

    - PS. JAG
      
      I'm organising / playing at the European Guided By Voices fan event in London on April 14th.
      
      I'm in a GBV tribute band called Band Of Pricks, and we're going to be playing 80 songs over four sets on the night. We're actually quite good if I don't say so myself ;-)
      
      Come along if you can people, it's gonna be top fun. £5 entry, and you get a free meal with that!

- Great shouts on 'Accordion' and 'Dat Ass', needed some more hip-hop.
  
  Earl's 'Luper' can go in there too at 1.59. Probably my favourite one off the mixtape.

- Im half way through one at the minute, loads of songs in here though..
  
  And I need to filter it a bit otherwise every other song would be by Guided by Voices. Will post it up later.

Sorry I can't post Youtube Links [in China]

The Microphones- I Felt Your Shape [totally beautiful, intimate lo-fi acoustic song]
Captain Beefheart- Frownland [one of the best "what-the-fuck" songs ever, all wrapped up in 2 mins]
Converge- Concubine [like the above, but just a bit heavier]
Clark- Springtime Epigram [works best in context of the utterly spellbinding album, but still a lovely ambient song]
Joanna Newsom- On a Good Day [it's just lovely]
And Let Our Enemies Beware- Pow! Right in The Kisser [Saturday morning cartoon mosh-pit riffola]
