Favorite song under 3 minutes long?

As many of you know, the Beatles were basically the masters of the sub-3 minute song, especially early in their careers. Songs under 3 minutes long used to be the norm. Now songs under 3 minutes long, especially radio singles, are almost extinct. The average length of a radio single pop song so far this decade is nearly 4 minutes, 30 seconds (hey, at least the kids are able to keep their attention spans lasting long enough nowadays).
The change in length of these radio singles is due in part to a lot of things that I won't get into here. But anyway, that's enough of a lesson (I'm no Kafka
). My favorite is below. Love to hear what y'alls are.

This isn't necessarily my favorite song under 3 minutes but The Ramones were certainly a master of that art. This classic clocks in at 1:33.

By the looks of your avatar and sig line, I'm not surprised.
Great band, first two albums are incredible. They get love for Semi Charmed Life, Jumper, etc., but no one mentions The Background, God of Wine, 1000 July's, Anything, etc.
