What's the shortest song ever recorded?

"Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent."

Charles Bukowski

Most of those songs are interludes or outros. Sleepy

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

  Incidentally, I love the care and attention to detail that goes into naming these little mini epics. Oftens the song is shorter than the title
 
just like five Percent for Nothing.

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!

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

If it was sped up enough, you could 'hear' a truly great and epic song in a sec... Or a concerto.  Course you'd have to slow it down to recognise the greatness and take it in (couldn't interpret),  so whatever...

I used to like to listen to records sped-up... I associated my speed listening with speed-reading.

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.

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! Switch On!]

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

Many years ago a friend of mine recorded Marillion's Script and Fugazi at 45. Pinky and Perky go prog!
