I know there's a song in which a bandmember asks "Was that X minutes?" at the song's end, but can't recall it right now. It'll come to me...Oh! I remember - it's from the first (only?) Zitro album, 1967, a free-jazz miniature apparently made up on the spot to fatten a 13-minute LP side.

there's also at least one "official" live recording with "oh it's the last verse" ... although, umm, it's a chorus, surely? anyway, that's barney for you.

Pulp - The Countdown
I'm surely not misremembering this, but where in this song is there any actual counting down? Beyond the first line of the song ("Oh, I was seventeen when I heard the countdown start"), what is there?
