okay everybody, i wanna make a mix entirely out of short songs for my rapidly disappearing attention span. I'm looking for song sunder 1.5 minutes, preferably not joke tracks or skits. Anyway, please everyone don't mention every track that you can think of that applies here, just songs i'd actually want to hear on a mix. just one or two from everyone should be more than enough for right now. ok.............GO!

Warren Zevon, "If You Won't Leave Me I'll Find Somebody Who Will"

Wire's "Ex Lion Tamer" is close, but I don't know if it's under or not.

Just about anything by Guided By Voices:
"A Good Flying Bird"
"As We Go Up, We Go Down"
etc.
etc.

Also:
"The Cunts" - Falstaff

and I'll think of more later.

Dinosaur Jr. - "Throw Down." Clocks in at about 45 seconds and leaves you wanting more.

Brakes - 'Pick Up The Phone'

It's only 25 seconds long but it's not a novelty track. It's stripped down, no nonsense rock n' roll. Chorus, verse, chorus, bang it's over.

EXCELLENT! keep it up people!

i'm thinking the Replacements' "Beer For Breakfast would fit, but it's 7 seconds too long.

This is the one that sprang to my mind.

I won't get to play until I get home, since my not-so-big brain doesn't retain the track times for all this stuff.

Most of Wire's Pink Flag comes in at less than 1:30.
