  • 'Song 2' by Blur is the definitive answer to this question.

    Always my go to whenever short songs are mentioned. Both great alternative tracks from the 00s and signify the decade.

White Stripes “Fell In Love With a Girl” is a great shout. I used to have a playlist with all my favourite songs under 150 seconds! I do enjoy a short, punchy single that doesn't waste a second.

For me, and of those not selected so far, I've always really loved The Concretes “You Can’t Hurry Love” [2:01] (#55 in 2004) which features Victoria Bergsman, who eventually managed to get a Top 40 hit with “Young Folks” (as guest vocalist) in 2006. Quite a lot packed in to just 121 seconds here, the guitars, the horns, the trumpet solo. *.*

I also love “In The City” which is just 2:16 but packs a punch and has much more to it than most other songs of that length. It's something that the Strokes were able to pull off with ease in the early 2000s, have at least 3 different hooks each crashing into each other and competing for your attention. My feeling towards this is more because I strongly remember my Dad playing this in the car, but what a debut single too!

^ in case you didn't know, Victoria Bergsman was also behind Taken By Trees who hit the top 40 with a cover of 'Sweet Child O' Mine' from the John Lewis Christmas advert in 2009!
