    "I Like Short Songs" by the Dead Kennedys, if only for the intro. "Rick Wakeman, eat your heart out!"

    the list would be too long.

    friends of mine have 7"s with 200 songs on them, one has one that is like 100 locked grooves...each by a different band..

    "Weinerschnitzel" by The Descendents.

    On a more hiphop-y note:

    "U Mean I'm Not" by Black Sheep
    "Transmitting Live From Mars" by De La Soul
    "I Can Do Anything (Delacratic)" by De La Soul


    and... "Mountain Jam" by The Allman Brothers

    The entire BegBorrowSteel LP by Count Bass D

    Two Disk LP with side D bringing some of the instros ( thankfully ) the whole entire LP probably doesnt run for more than 30 minutes if that..plays more like a mixtape, but I love it just the same. Def. left me wishin for more. I just bought 2 copies so I can play songs on and on.

    Another one that comes to mind is the 1 min. 20 sec version of Givin' Up on Zulema.

    Cant think of anything under 30 sec. off the top of my head though, Im sure something will come to me.

    A couple of years ago as a Stupid Radio Stunt??? a group of 20 or so DJs at KZSU hosted a Short Song Marathon, with the goal of playing 1000 songs in 1000 minutes (all off original media, no premade setlists). Every song was 1 minute or less in length, with DJs taking 50 minute segments. I was the only one who did an all vinyl set, using a bunch of music cues from Network and Columbia Media Music records.

    Here's the Playlist

    If anyone wants mp3s, I have 'em.

    The short song marathon stunt has been tried a couple of different times, WFMU's Kenny G did 180 songs in 3 hours and 360 songs in 3 hours, although I suspect that he edited together a playlist in advance.

    Hey,

    How about the "Sleeping Beauty" by S.O.U.L.? Some others I could add on are:

    -"What's Goin' On" (Intro Jam)-Marvin Gaye.
    -"Interlude #2"-Earth, Wind, & Fire.
    -"Interlude"-Lamont Dozier.

    Peace,

    and... "Mountain Jam" by The Allman Brothers

    Another one on the mountain tip: "Black Mountain Side" and, while we're talking about Zep's first record, how about "Communication Breakdown" -- both songs come in just a hair under two and half minutes.
