I was looking for that NME CD version of Super Furry Animals Citizen's Band - it was meant to be the extra hidden track rewindie from "Guerilla" but they instead used the extra added track at the end which was 11 seconds worth of Gruff singing "That's right! Don't go chewing now...."

Thanks!

My computer had to be formatted and I don’t have my itunes with me to look for good songs in my collection under a minute.

There’s several under a minute which I love and come from the Adventure Time OST, I cant wait to have kids and watch that cartoon with them. “Everything Stays” in particular is a nice under a minute song:

That is great, indeed. The energy in that song is equal to 1000 exploding supernovas.
