perfect, short.

From memory it clocks in at 1.47 minutes.(EDIT it's actually 1.18)

Pre ipod days I took on holiday a disc containing nothing but songs less than two minutes long. It had almost 50 songs and of all the discs I had it was by far the one I played the most. It changed so quickly I never tired of it.

It contained among others

7 & 7 Is- The Ramones
She Said Yeah - Rolling Stones
Poor Little Critter on the Road- The Knitters
Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis
Blue Jean Bop - Paul McCartney
Ghost Riders in the Sky - Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
Mactavish is Dead - Don McLean (17 seconds, its a complete song!)
The Penis Song- Monty Python
Hit the Road Jack - Ray Charles
Swamp Walk- Ry Cooder
Fugue for Tinhorns - from Guys and Dolls
Alison's Starting to Happen - Lemonheads
Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows- Lesley Gore
C'Mon Everybody - Eddie Cochran
Dang me - Roger Miller
Five Feet High and Rising - Johnny Cash
Dog Food - Iggy Pop
That's All Right - Elvis
James Bond Theme - John Barry
Run Chicken Run - Link Wray
Fire of Love - Jody Reynolds

It was a good disc

Coasters - Yakety Yak
Solomon Burke - Stupidity
Ramones - Cretin Hop [Rocket To Russia version]
MC5 - Tutti Frutti
Elvis Presley - All Shook Up

The Lemonheads - Bit Part
Primal Scream - Velocity Girl
The Beatles - Her Majesty

Contact in Red Square - Blondie (from Plastic Letters)

I added mine - not everyone has.

Clues welcome

Buddy Holly - Words of Love
Chiffons - He's So Fine
Dusty Springfield - Stay A While
Kenickie - Come Out 2Nite
Lemonheads - Why Do You Do This To Yourself?
Pipettes - Why Did You Stay?
Rolling Stones - Not Fade Away
Tim Hardin - The Lady came from Baltimore

Better stop now.

with:
The Smiths 'Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want' (1:54) - seconded
Buddy Holly 'Rave On' (1:50)
British Sea Power 'Favours In The Beetroot Fields' (1:17)

Yann Tiersen 'La Redecouverte' (1:13)

Cemetery Polka - Tom Waits
Little Boxes - Malvina Reynolds
Tony's Theme - Pixies
Rave On - Buddy Holly

Worth cramming into the end of a C90 after taping the album (for personal use only).

Territorial Pissings - Nirvana
Shakespeare's Sister - The Smiths
Uselink - Depeche Mode
Get Carter - The Human League
Song 2 - Blur

Honourable mention of The Residents' Commercial Album featuring 40 songs that are all exactly 1 minute long. Sample lyric:

"no-one knows what took place
the night before she died
but when they opened up her purse
they found a snail inside"

Little tracks like these are godsends in radio. Many a short burst of dead air has been saved by concise songs like these!

Boards of Canada - Wildlife Analysis (1.15)
Conor Oberst - NYC-Gone, Gone (1.11)
Bob Dylan - Oxford Town (1.50)
Iron & Wine - Die (1.07)

And of course, Janis Joplin - Mercedes Benz (1.47). Pure Janis magic.

Uncle Fucker - South Park the Movie (1:06)
Meet James Ensor - They Might Be Giants (1:33)
Little Deuce Coupe - The Beach Boys (1:41)
God! Show Me Magic - Super Furry Animals (1:48)
I'll Follow The Sun - The Beatles (1:51)
C'mon Everybody - Eddie Cochran (1:56)
That's Alright - Elvis Presley (1:58)

And clocking in at 2:00 exactly:

Grandma's Hands - Bill Withers
When I grow Up To Be A Man - The Beach Boys
They Can't Take That Away From Me - Frank Sinatra
I Keep Mine Hidden - The Smiths

Man, I loved The Undertones.

...identified hundreds in my collection but there's no way to export playlists from iTunes to Spotify (yet!)

Then again, a smart playlist function would be REALLY useful in Spotify as well.

I'll have:

Nick Drake - Introduction (from Bryter Layter)
Bic Runga - When I See You Smile
Ben Folds - Golden Slumbers
Simon and Garfunkel - 59th Street Bridge Song
The Divine Comedy - My Lovely Horse

I may add them to the Spotify playlist later if
(a) I get time,
(b) any of those songs are on Spotify.

That is all....
