The SHORTEST timed single in my collection is "Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr.Hitler" by Bud Flanagan....

This 45rpm single was issued in 1968 on the Pye record label as the theme tune for the BBC TV series "Dad's Army". At 1 minute and 8 seconds, is it the SHORTEST 45rpm single ever issued by any UK record label as a 45rpm single? If this wasn't the shortest single ever,what is/was? That'll keep you going for a while!

The SHORTEST timed single in my collection is "Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr.Hitler" by Bud Flanagan....
Shortest Hit Single


The shortest duration of a hit single is 1 min 15 seconds. This record is held by Nukleuz DJs. The title/lead track of their 2003 "DJ Nation - Bootleg Edition" EP was a mix of each of the other six tracks on the EP (available on three separate CD/12" singles) clocking in at just 75 seconds.


In terms of a complete song (ie. not a medley), "Let's Get Together" by Hayley Mills (1961) clocked in at is 1 minute 25 seconds. The US version of "Some Kinda Earthquake", an instrumental single by Duane Eddy, was abridged (1 minute 17 seconds in duration, 1959) but the British version ran at the full 1 min 53 secs.


The shortest chart-topper is Adam Faith's "What Do You Want" from 1959 (1 minute, 38 seconds).

Reply:I know that American Band 'be your own Pet' released a single called 'Lets get sandy (big problem)' earlier in the year and it was 57 seconds. It failed to chart in the top 40 but reached something like 51 in the top 75.


and the source is just so you can see it on amazon.
