20 Amazing Songs That Clock In At Under 60 Seconds

15. Green Day - "The Ballad Of Wilhelm Fink"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6bCWMdarZI This sounds like the beginning to one of the best Green Day songs never released, cutting off right before it would normally launch into the bombastic, full band section. Only, "The Ballad of Wilhelm Fink" never quite gets there, making this an exercise in tantric music listening. Despite that, it's actually the most fully realized song on the collection, Short Music For Short People, which features 101 punk bands performing 30-second pieces. And it's still a thousand times better than most of Green Day's post-American Idiot output.
