Super Long Pop Songs:
"When They Come,"Devendra Banhart - Length: 6:00
Devendra Banhart has an unusual number of short songs, but this is one of his longer songs. (Ironically, his "Long Song" is only 2:26)
Submitted by: Ra'akone
Super Short Pop Songs:
"Prayer," Brian Wilson - Length: 1:18
Besides being short, also stands out from his usual "style"...it's in the style of a Gregorian chant!
Submitted by: Ra'akone
"Rejoicing in the Hands," Davendra Banhart - Length: 1:41
A short accoustic piece, with cricket/cicada noise in the background
Submitted by: Ra'akone
"Roots," Devendra Banhart - Length: 1:35
Once the singing starts, there are no real "breaks", could be considered a long run-on sentence.

Has a single "verse" in the middle
Submitted by: Ra'akone
"Bluebird," Devendra Banhart - Length: 1:24

"Broken Face," Pixies - Length: 1:26
Despite its brevity, it doesn't seem that short
Submitted by: Ra'akone

Often mistaken for a System of a Down song, and uses the main theme from the Zelda games as the tune
Submitted by: Ra'akone
