I know this is a pretty odd question, but I ask because I just got a Black Mages CD, and the famous track Dancing Mad is, at 12 minutes, the longest song I have. I sort of threw in the "shortest" part to make it more interesting. :p

Longest: A Modern Myth-30 seconds to Mars. (14:14) There is a 9 minute stretch of silence in that song.

Shortest: Polyamorous-Breaking Benjamin. (2:57) Good song.



Eh, I'll do my dad's music to for no reason.
Long-Music and Electric Violin and Low Budget Orchestra-Jean-Luc Ponty (19:25)

Relient K FTW. And actually, Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care is 12 seconds long. (though the music does stop after 10 seconds and the last 2 are silence). Just a fun fact. ;)

Shortest: "Spines" by TMBG, 30 seconds.
Longest: "Let's Not **** Ourselves" by Bright Eyes, 10:07.

I have a couple longer ones, but they don't count 'cause they're actually two songs with a bunch of silence in between ("secret tracks").

At 9:35, "Konstantine" by Something Corporate comes in at a close second for longest, and TMBG's "Spine" (singular) is second-shortest at 33 seconds.

But that's just the stuff I have in iTunes right now. I'm pretty sure I have a couple shorter tracks, like "Minimum Wage" (TMBG), on various CDs. I don't think any of the tracks from "Fingertips" should count, but they're definitely short.

Yeah, I Excluded (Four Seconds of Noise) by Hot Hot Heat, as it is simply 4 seconds of noise.

I know my longest is In-A-Gagga-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly (which tops out at 17:08) but I'm not sure what my shortest is...probably Minimum Wage (TMBG).

2112 Overture is only the first part, the entire song consists of six.

Anyways, the longest song I know would probably be Karn Evil 9 (if you count it as one song) which lasts about 30 minutes.

The shortest is "Must the show go on?" by Pink Floyd. I don't think it breaks one minute, but if it does it just barely makes it.

Conveniently, you can sort your iTunes music by song time.

Uprising-Captain Squeegee and the Soap Suds- 19:45
though I'm pretty sure a lot of that is silence

You've Got A Ugly And Stupid Butt- Strong Bad- 0:32
The ladies in the town all know my name is only 2 seconds longer.

Not sure the longest...but shortest work I have is the theoretical work 0'00" by Gyorgy Ligeti (composed as a parody of John Cage's 4'33"). Total length: 00:00:00.00. BEAT THAT, SUCKAS!!!

I'd have to time them to make sure, but I'm thinking it's either Shine On You Crazy Diamond or Freebird (live version).

If you count songs I don't technically "own" (concert bootlegs), it'd be Government Mule covering Freebird or Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade doing a Pink Floyd medley (about 25 minutes).

Shortest song would be Korn's Low Rider

Ritual - Nous Sommes Du Soleil (21:35) by Yes.

The shortest just might be "What Are We Doing to Pigs?" by TMBG. six seconds.

"Konstantine" is the only song over six minutes that I can listen to without getting bored.

Good lord, what a great song.






anyway.
Top three shortest songs:
1. "Horn Intro" - Modest Mouse (0:09)
2. "Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care" - Relient K / "Dig Your Grave" - Modest Mouse (0:12)
3. "Introduction" - Hot Hot Heat (0:17)

Top three longest songs:
1. "I Would Die For You" - MercyMe (12:49)
2. "The Chicken Sangwich/The Heckler and the Kabbash" - Dane Cook (12:31)
3. "The Island: Come & See/The Landlord’s Daughter/You’ll Not Feel The Drowning" - The Decemberists (12:26)

...I also have "9027 KM" by OK Go, which is 34:46, but I don't know if that really counts as a song.

Longest song with hidden track afterward I'm not counting (for obvious reasons, even though 34 minutes is a nice number) so after that I've got Deathbed by Relient K for however long that is, 11 or 12ish.

As for my shortist song, I'm going with Pootermobile by Five Iron Frenzy, clocking in at 7 seconds. I'm not counting Receive Him (2 1/2 seconds) or Give Me Back My Sandwich (4 seconds) both also by FIF because those are just nonsense, or at least, more so than Pootermobile.

I don't know, I'll check later, but I'll take a guess...

Spines-TMBG (I don't really like that song, though)

Albuquerque-Weird Al (Obviously.)

Shortest: It's technically a tie between Who's Knocking On The Wall? and I Heard A Sound, both by TMBG and at 4 seconds each, but those are technically just two of the many parts of a bigger song. So I won't count those.

...Harvey the Wonder Hamster by Weird Al Yankovic, at 21 seconds...

Longest: A Modern Myth by 30 Seconds to Mars, at 14:14. I don't particularly like this band, I just got their CD for Christmas.

EDIT: Yeah, this song has 9 minutes of pure silence. The longest actual song I have is The Legend of Alan Guile Versus Peter Bones by Reel Big Fish. I think that's the longest title, too... no, that's There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of it Yet by Panic! At The Disco. Dang ol' new-scene bands with their Epic-Length Song Titles...

Drugs and Kittens/I'll Drink To That by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones is the longest track at 38:44, but I'll Drink To That is technically a hidden track after 30 minutes of silence.

Echoes by Pink Floyd is the longest actual song at 23:31.

The shortest is probably Passive Manipulation by the White Stripes at 35 seconds, though Floyd's Stop is under one second shorter. There are a few miscellaneous tracks from the Spamalot soundtrack (tuning, overture, intermission) and a spoken intro to a Richard Cheese album, but they don't really count as songs.
