I realize the vast majority of early rock n roll songs were under three minutes. I was wondering what short songs some of your personal favorites . Here are some of mine.
Willing - Little Feat
I'm Bored - Iggy Pop
Thank You For Sending Me An Angel - Talking Heads
Hang Loose - Alabama Shakes
Song 2 - Blur
So It Goes - Nick Lowe
Buddy Holly - Weezer
Going Underground - The Jam

Second The Clash - White Riot...but the original UK version even though the more pop US version is still good. The Clash were incredible...Strummer gets a lot of the credit but Mick, Topper, and Simonon deserve to be recognized too.

Perhaps this would be a bit more of a challenge if you dropped it to 2:30. This song has it all in a tight 2:04.

The entire beatles catalog
Ticket to Ride clocks in at 3:10. ;)

There are an unbelievable amount to choose from. I'll go with Break on Through by the Doors though on a different day I'd pick a different song. I'm feeling the baseline/organ today.


Maybe a more refined version of this is to pick your favorite short pop song and the shortest one wins. Or alternative the favorite pop song that is closest to 3 mins (or two minutes) etc.

I knew this topic was too broad. I could have said under 3 minutes after 1970. I was just looking for some musical diversion because I was so upset about Bouk being named pre-season second team BE. We talkin bout pre-season!

Neko Case did a bunch of pretty good songs that are sub-3 minutes.
