captain beefheart's original of "hard workin' man" is better than the cramps' version
i also think the red crayola did a better version of "hurricane fighter plane" but i guess i could see preferring the cramps' take
anyway the cramps' version is better than nnb's, not as good as sort sol's.

Most all of my 2:00 songs were 2:00 on two different players, so I'll skip those. Salvaged two:
Vashti Bunyan - Love Song (1:58)Odin - Lost (1:59)
"Lost" is this great garage thing from 1968 that sounds like it could be Beat Happening or some other lo-fi thing.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 20 February 2019 02:46 (five years ago) link
i’m sure there’s lots of nuggets-style garage singles that are very good and clock in around 1:57 but, as i said in the other thread, it would be disappointing to me if this roll out ended up being predominantly garage 45s and chuck berry and elvis and fats domino.
it’s much more interesting for me when the brevity is an integral part of the songwriting, or on the other hand when the song feels like a sketch, an idea for a song that is just kinda hanging in mid-air and it’s mysterious or weird (e.g. “can you take me back where i came from ...”) — yknow, rather than a conventional song that just happens to be short.
― budo jeru, Wednesday, 20 February 2019 03:09 (five years ago) link
i like those mysterious fragments too (circulatory system - news from the heavenly loom, 0:24; mu - children of the rainbow, 1:12; most allison, young man's blues, 1:27; the android sisters, huh?, 1:27; captain beefheart, dali's car, 1:27), but a two minute song, even if it's a full song, for me has a certain air to it simply by nature of being concise (squirrel bait - black light poster child, 1:55; giles giles and fripp, digging my lawn (b) (from "the brondesbury tapes"), 1:55; ray cathode, waltz in orbit, 1:56)
those songs are all nominations by the way
