What are the best SHORT songs?
Inspired by a thread asking what a long song is considered to be...
what are the best SHORT songs? I'm talking two-and-a-half minutes, TOPS.
There's tons of oldies like that - isn't "Stay" only a minute and a half - not to mention some good 'stunt' songs, like the Beatles' "Her Majesty"... 23 seconds!
So, what are your favorite songs to boil an egg by?
