People Are Strange, the Doors...compared to a lot of their other famous songs, Its incredibly short.
Junk, Paul McCartney...just under 2 minutes and a great little song, could've been a lot longer, more like an Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey type song...Im gonna get a lynching for that.
Two Sisters, the Kink...also just under 2 minutes but a sweet little song.
Norwegian Wood is short, but it seems longer...however for a Beatles song I'd nominate And Your Bird Can Sing as well as It's Only Love...the pair are way too short.
Tales Of Girls, Boys & Marsupials - The Wombats (1:10)
Rubber Lover - Marmaduke Duke (1:53)

Kiss With A Fist - Florence + the Machine (2:04)

My thoughts too BUT...
Here is a 'video' featuring the two studio versions of WWRY.
The first version is the usual style (but not the single/album version) and the second part is the 'fast' version in Maida Vale studios 1977
There is a stand alone second version on Youtube somewhere but I can never find it LOL.

Hmmm.
That is from the musical though, and is live.
The one I provided was actually by Queen in the studio
I have not seen the musical, and am not too bothered by the musicians they use. I own a Burns Brian May guitar myself (as does my OH except hers is a BMG model) but there is nothing on earth like Mr May himself playing (along with Taylor and Deacon of course).
Thanks though, I shall add that to my 'instrumentals' collection because it is such a great tune and I prefer the fast version to the single/album version by miles.
Notice how John Deacon doesnt look happy after Roger Taylor stamps on his foot as its filmed in Taylor's back garden in Canada
Canada?
I never knew it was Canada. I thought it was here in the UK.
I know that he sold the property some years back for a reported £6m.
But yeah, JD was VERY pissed off in that and the Spread Your Wings video (same day and location).
The director also kept forgetting Brian's name

I was trying to find the standalone one you referred to, or at least, a standalone one.

Thanks, I do appreciate your efforts .
I suppose in fairness it is kind of off topic for this thread anyway because the fast version is no longer than the 'slow' version
I have it on mp3 but I can never find it on YT - I know it IS there which is partly why I have not posted it myself.
Besides, I have an aversion to posting Queen material on YT for some reason. I am sure that Dave R Fuller bloke must have some kind of special 'relationship' with the company (QPL) in order for him to be 'allowed' to post so very much of their rare stuff.
I always get The Who's "There's a Doctor" stuck in my head and assume it's a much longer song, forgetting in fact it's a bridge between scenes in Tommy rather than a song of its own right *sigh*
Should've made a song out of that one
Oh yeah, Stairway to heaven, that could be about 10 mins longer surely?
"I'm with the Pilots" by Ladytron. Not so much that it's especially short, more that it's an otherwise good and atmospheric song that finishes in an unsatisfying way what sounds like two thirds of the way through.
(It sounds like it's following the usual pop-song structure, but ends abruptly after the middle eight without a final chorus or verse/chorus).

It's better short though. Apparently when they first heard it Rough Trade bosses said "Where's the rest of the song?"
so many people i can relate to in modern life with this song
i know, i did say so in my post.
Yea, I saw that. I do realise now it makes it look like I was disagreeing with you, sorry about that.

no need to be sorry, that's fine
That's one that immediately sprung to mind. Amazing track.
i'm not a fan of the white stripes particularly, but out of their songs that i do like those are my favourites
Check out this fantastic remix by Trent Reznor :cool:
I adore this version - 4 minutes long
