Okay, now that we're all good and cheerful, how about a non-depressing music question: what's the shortest pop song you can think of that seems like a complete song, and not a fragment of one? I got to thinking about this by accidentally sorting the MP3s on my iPod by length, which revealed some interesting patterns. The obvious place to look is the suite on side B of Abbey Road, but most of those songs seem pretty fragmentary to me. My current nominee: "The Wind," by Cat Stevens, which clocks in at a modest 1:39, and is about as complete a pop song as you could want.
