Tell you what -- if you still have an old phonograph you can play Genesis "Horizons" on 78 rpm and have the shortest prog song possible. |
Many years ago a friend of mine recorded Marillion's Script and Fugazi at 45. Pinky and Perky go prog!

Jamie and the Magic Torch.
Down the helter skelter, faster and faster
towards Cuckoo Land.
Wordsworth! Wordsworth!
Following hard behind.
Ready for adventure, always there to lend a paw
...or hand!
Mr Boo and all the others too,
the strangest people you've ever seen.
And the torch with it's magical beam -
If I hadn't really been there
I'd think that I was dreaming!
Jamie! Jamie!
No two nights are the same.
And life is one long glorious game
with Jamie.
Jamie and the Magic Torch!

Yeah! That cartoon had more of an effect on me than I care to think about.

wow, i think a thread like this already exists, but anyway when you ask for the shortest songs, i always remind that first "song" in Deus Ex Machina´s Equilibrismo da Insofferenza... the song title is El Sindrome del Falso Amico i think.. 5 secs

You Suffer actually lasts for 1.316 seconds. I have a 7 inch single with You Suffer on one side and Mega Armageddon Death Part 3 by Electro Hippies (another incredibly short track) on the other. At the time it was the shortest single in the world, don't know if it's been beaten yet!

Most of those songs are interludes or outros.

You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.
