shortest song

The Beastie Boys - Ask for Janice (0:00:11)

 

I can't touch that. My shortest song is a Tuvan throat singing song called Khoomel, it is 26 seconds long.

 

29 seconds, a song no one has ever heard of unless they're a complete calculus nerd

 

Augie March - "Up the hill and down"

22 seconds.

 

Oo! I'm a math nerd! What song is it?

my shortest is from the Beatles Anthology.. Paul is talking about something. Seven seconds..
if that doesn't count there's the intro to "philosophy" by Ben Folds Five. 9 seconds.

 

technically my shortest track is 00:00:01 and is titled Blank.

other than that i have one at 00:00:03 from the Metroid Prime Soundtrack called "Secondary Item Acquisition Fanfare"

but neither of those have lyrics....

Kyuss - "Yeah" at 00:00:06

 

That would be:

Heartz of Men
by Tupac
on Live
at 0:06

****tiest CD I've ever bought in my life.

 

Horn Intro, Modest Mouse :09

 

"Main Title" - Lost (Original Television Soundtrack) - J.J. Abrams & Michael Giacchino

16 seconds

EDIT: after re-reading the original post, I realized my song isn't considered "real"

 

The shortest song that I have in my iTunes library is 29 seconds.

 

The shortest songs I have are all Napalm Death:

You Suffer - 0:04
Dead - 0:05
Your Achievement - 0:06
Understanding - 0:07

 

Mine's 6 seconds: One last "Woo-Hoo" for the Pullman by Sufjan Stevens

 

Can we have another category: Shortest song bought from iTMS at full price (not as part of a complete album) ?

 

Song: Short Attention Span
Length: 0:08
Artist: Fizzy Bangers
Album: Short Music for Short People (1999)

 

The Beatles - Her Majesty (0:23)

 

The shortest fake song in my library is "it's been emotional" from the Lock, stock and two smoking barrels soundtrack, by Film Dialogue (don't know who that guy is, though) it's 4 seconds, and so are CTU Ring 1, CTU Ring 2, CTU Intercom from the 24 soundtrack

Shortest real song is "Itchy And Scratchy End Credits Theme" with lyrics, and probably also available on iTunes that is 17 seconds

 

Good question Doctor Q, I find a song that it less than 30 seconds as not being worth the purchase unless it is bundled as part of an album.

 

That's mine too... and shuffle seems to love it. Its got one of the highest play counts in my library but I didn't even recognize it. Guess it just goes by so quickly...

 

This is Stupid (0:10) - The Bloodhound Gang (from Hooray for Boobies) is the shortest.

Closely followed by the above mentioned Ask For Janice (0:11) and Miracle Cure (0:12).

The shortest "real song" that I play regularly (not counting several short Monthy Python songs) is the Main theme from Firefly by Greg Edmondson at 0:52.
