Guest Lord of The Curry Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 So the other day I'm listening to Hayden's "Live at Convocation Hall" disc and a song on it called "I don't think we should ever meet" goes about a minute long but still managed to rule. What about you? What's YOUR favorite short-song? *Please refrain from jokes about The Dames or using "I Wish" by Skee-Lo in this thread.*
Guest The Metal Maniac Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 Any of SOD's various ballads, and Suicidal Tendencies "I Won't Fall in Love Today".
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 There's a lot to choose from. Maybe "Corrosion" by Nasum.
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 Highly evolved by the vines? i dunno how long it is tho.
Paul Stanley Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 Misfits - Kong At The Gates(1:50) KISS - Let Me Go, Rock N' Roll(2:15)
Guest notJames Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 Pretty much any short song by the Descendents, like "Kids", "Pervert", and "I'm Not a Loser". But my fave at the moment would probably be Me First and the Gimme Gimme's cover of "My Favourite Things". I like how they stole the opening riff to Bad Religion's "Generator". BTW, Fat Wreck Chords put out an awesome compliation CD of 30 second songs by every punk band under the sun called Short Music For Short People. Great stuff.
moral suasion Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 AFI's "Strength Through Wandering" NOFX "August 8th"
moral suasion Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 BTW, Fat Wreck Chords put out an awesome compliation CD of 30 second songs by every punk band under the sun called Short Music For Short People. Great stuff. Totally agree. Short Music for Short people is a GREAT album. I strongly recommend anyone picking that one up. It should be under $10.
Guest Addy Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 GWAR - Ham on The Bone is awesome. It runs like 2:04.
Guest Nevermortal Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 AFI's "Strength Through Wandering" Its "Strength Through Wounding"; and I don't know if it really counts, since its not much of a song, rather just an album intro. Anyway, other favorites of mine: "Pissing In The Mainstream" by Dying Fetus (thank you AoO) "Death Comes Ripping" by The Misfits "Last Caress" by the Misfits "Biotech is Godzilla" by Sepultura
Guest raptor Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 Fish Fuck- GWAR Funny and has a good beat. A good deal of the songs of of Short Music are all good, like Howdy Doody in The Woodshed.
B. Brian Brunzell Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 "Kickstand" by Soundgarden is always a classic short song. Kickstand you got loose and I threw up
Guest godthedog Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 'tourette's', nirvana 'eleanor rigby' would have EASILY gotten it, but it runs at exactly 2:00.
Guest Edwin MacPhisto Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 Prince, "Sister." 1:37 of pure incestual fun with a great little riff. And I'll admit to having also checked the time on "Eleanor Rigby" before coming to this decision.
Guest eiker_ir Posted April 25, 2003 Report Posted April 25, 2003 Beach Boys - Barbara Ann, Wouldn't it be nice (2min and a little more) NOFX - Linoleum Queen - We Will Rock You
Guest Kibagami Posted April 25, 2003 Report Posted April 25, 2003 Big Black - Power of Independent Trucking. K.
Guest DARRYLXWF Posted April 25, 2003 Report Posted April 25, 2003 Mean Mr. Mustard - The Beatles 1:06
Guest caboose Posted April 25, 2003 Report Posted April 25, 2003 'Song 2' by Blur - Total Rock Out in 1:49.
Guest RepoMan Posted April 25, 2003 Report Posted April 25, 2003 Rock n' Rock High School- the Ramons
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 I'd echo both of GTD's picks, and something I'm currently digging is Dust Brothers, opening theme to Fight Club. I don't care for looking up the title, but I'm sure you all know of what I'm talking about.
Guest snuffbox Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Highly evolved by the vines? i dunno how long it is tho. its under 2 mins...and it is my choice as well.
Guest saturnmark4life Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 NOFX has about 50 contenders. 'Straight American Slave' by RFTC is godlike. 'Something for the girl with everything' by SPARKS runs about 2:10, but it's the shortest song I can think of that is this near to utter perfection.
Guest Edwin MacPhisto Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Another contender that goes, I think, 1 second over: the Smiths' "Girlfriend in a Coma." Pretty great.
Guest SP-1 Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Molly's Lips - Nirvana She said, she'd take me anywhere! I second that.
