that's a very good example, because spotify has "problems" at 2:01, even though it clearly fades out by 1:55.
well, how about this amendment, then. we'll call it the clemenza accord.
if you feel that a song has been unjustly excluded due to a weird version of it being on spotify, kindly produce proof via discogs. for example, for "problems", the following would do:
"hey karl malone, i'm nominating the original version of the everly brothers' 'problems', which is 1:54: https://www.discogs.com/The-Everly-Brothers-Problems/release/2139517"

please, though: use discogs as your secondary source, not something else. i don't really see youtube as a very helpful secondary source, it just raises more questions. most of all, i just want a simple process

That's just Sleeve venting his pathological (and bizarre) hatred for me. I can say this because he file-killed me--my life hasn't been the same since--and he won't read this post.

I think the Spotify Protocol is a sound method.

Hey karl malone, I'm nominating the Soul Queen of Texas version of Gloria Edwards' "Lonely Girl" which is 1:58 on Allmusic: https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-soul-queen-of-texas-the-crazy-cajun-recordings-mw0000244619
The track lengths aren't listed on Discogs so an alternative secondary source was needed! But the version in my iTunes library is 1:57 and Youtube version is 1:55.
― Hey hey, the tipple’s weak sherry (fionnland), Saturday, 23 February 2019 23:14 (five years ago) link
Oh and Discogs does actually have the track length on "100 Hits Northern Soul" which is 1:57 and I imagine is the same version (but I can't verify)

I feel like I haven't done due (doo?) diligence when it comes to doo-wop. All the stuff I used to throw on mix-tapes 30 years ago, I only have a fraction of that on my hard drive. And I'm too lazy to start pulling records off the shelf and checking times. I looked over a couple of online lists, which mostly consisted of hits. I know there are at least a couple of lesser known songs that would make my list. But again, lazy.

Something I was very happy to discover via the Spotify playlist: there's a 24-song Chefs compilation. Had no idea. Also, I vote for the last line of the Chefs' "Food" (which will be very high on my list) as the most perfect last line ever in a short song: "This is the end of the stupid song!"

It comes in at an even 2:00 on my iTunes (originally from the lat 90s reissue of the US version of the debut, if that matters), but I'd definitely vote for it if it qualifies.

The variety has been one of the main pleasures when looking for those songs, I'm glad if we a have a variety of structure and tone: energetic songs, little laments, interludes, traditional songs. In such a context, many genres can shine, including vocal jazz or Bulgarian village songs.I won't list all my nominates, but most.

1:59 in that listing, but if Spotify says the same one is 2:00 I can nominate something else :)
There's a studio version that's the B-side of "Die Die My Darling" that might be the 2:00 one, no times on that.
