Well they may beat themselves
with "Spider"
Ivor Cutler's Bicarbonate Of Chicken
Beach Boys "Meant For You" - short but sweet (wonder if there was a longer song there?)
Wire - It's So Obvious 0.54
Or, same band, even shorter...
I'm quite partial to:
I love that TMBG's track
Puts a big smile on my face as do so many of their songs.
It's A Dirty Job But Someone's Got To It - The Real Tuesday Weld
28 Seconds
Dead Kennedys - I Like Short Songs
Eric Idle from The Meaning of Life
It's this (NSFW)
Or this (also NSFW):
Both from Short Music for Short People
Come on
We all know the answer to this.
It's Ladies' Bras isn't it.
Or this
Vatican Broadside
By HMHB
I love HMHB
but I've never understood why this song gets such high praise. It's a football chant (I heard it many times at Maine Road: "The famous Man United went to Rome to see the Pope" etc, and I'm sure plenty of other clubs sang it about their rivals). All Nigel has done is change it to "the singer out of Slipknot". Amusing, but not that original and nowhere near his best songs.
Fast n'Bulbous
False Start
by the Wonderstuff - too brief to feature on YouTube, it would appear. It's a bookend piece to introduce "Size of a cow"
History of Rock ( 21 seconds)
Not sure if this is Dukes of Stratosphear/XTC/or Andy Partridge
You Suffer by Napalm Death
OBVIOUSLY!
Suitably
it must be The Minutemen with Ain't Talking 'Bout Love
26 Second Song/Shel Silverstein
