great songs of particular length

More great songs less than 2 minutes long:

"Mean Mr. Mustard," "Polythene Pam," and "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" by the Beatles (Lennon, Lennon, McCartney)

"Stop That Train" by the Beastie Boys (again, if you take it as separate from the B-Boy Bouillabaisse)

Great songs that are exactly 2 minutes and 40 seconds long:

"Picture Book" by the Kinks

"Baby Please Don't Go" by Them

3:18 is a good length for a song

"Trigger Cut/Wounded-Kite at :17" by Pavement

"Hell Yes" by Beck—possibly my favorite Beck track this century (not saying much)

"Shake Your Rump" by the Beastie Boys

"I Will Dare" by the Replacements—one of my favorite songs ever

3:23 ain't so bad, neither

"Calistan" by Frank Black

"You Won't See Me" by the Beatles (McCartney)—oh, those backing vocals

"It's So Easy" by Guns N' Roses

Go 3:40

"My Michelle" by Guns N' Roses

"Victoria" by the Kinks (see excellent cover by the Fall)

"Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" by Bob Dylan—another of my favorite songs ever

Look at 4:17 go

"Lithium" by Nirvana—the song that got me back into Nirvana after a decade away

"The Good Life" by Weezer—I don't wanna be an old man anymore.

"Waitin' for a Superman" by the Flaming Lips—oddly affecting

I think it's funny that these songs are the same length

"Lust for Life" by Iggy Pop

"King of Rock" by Run-D.M.C.

Surprisingly good for karaoke

"Perfect Day" by Lou Reed—feel like a Sinatra crooner and a 1970s Lower East Side junkie–hipster all at once! This one has nothing to do with length. But it's 3 minutes and 48 seconds long if you're curious.
