10 Great Hard Rock Songs Under 2 Minutes Long
3. Judy Is A Punk - Ramones
You just knew that punk pioneers and leathery lads the Ramones were going to make an appearance on this list. We're pretty sure they were all allergic to any song that ran longer than three minutes.
In fact, there isn't a single song of that length on their self-titled debut album; the longest one comes in two minutes thirty-five! The whole thing is over and done with in less than half an hour!
Talk about efficiency.
This gives us an embarrassment of riches to choose from, but the one we've picked is the third track on Side A of this seminal rock release.
Whilst songs like Blitzkrieg Bop and I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend get all the attention, Judy is a Punk has a lot to offer as well.
The first verse tells the story of the titular girl, who transforms into a cool punk thanks to her friend Jackie. At the start of the second verse, Joey Ramone sings "Second verse, same as the first" and then sings the first verse again.
Genius.
It's funny, it's catchy, and it does everything it needs to do in just a minute-and-a-half.
Lovely stuff.
