I was listening to Promises, Promises and realized that the title song is only 1:47.
Can you think of some other really good short (about 2 minutes or less) songs?
Off the top of my head
Piragua (ITH)
Title song from Urinetown
I Can Do That (ACL)
and lots from Caroline, or Change but that's really just one big amazing song

My favourite songs from "Little Mermaid" are really short--"The World Above (Reprise)," "Sweet Child," and "Sweet Child Reprise."
Also, I love those two little short songs from Les Miserables that start with "You at the barricades listen to this..." And, "Do You Hear The People Sing" is only 1 minute, 59 seconds.
Chauvelin's angry reprise of "Where's the Girl" in Scarlet Pimpernel.

Posted: 9/13/08 at 8:33pmI agree with "I Hate the Bus" and...even though it's 2 minutes and 9 seconds, can I count "Three Letters" from She Loves Me?
