Blame The Ramones, but there have been some very short songs that have made the radio. For the purposes of this page, please stick to songs with lyrics and also aren't interludes. Preferablly songs released as a single.
Entries Beginning with M
"Majestic," Journey Lenght::41 (Live); 1:16 (Studio)
"Majestic" is the very first song that appears on "Captured" before it segues into "Where Were You." The studio version of "Majestic" which appears on "Evolution" is slightly longer than the live version which appears on "Captured." The only "lyrics" that are heard in this song are "Ahh, ahh," which is sung three times. Unlike the live version, the studio version opens with a few guitar notes, which is why the live version is shorter.

"Mantra," Tool Lenght:1:12
Really short, really weird, but actually not the shortest song on the Lateralus album.
G
"Matchbox," The Beatles Lenght:1:37
From the Something New LP, this was also the flip side of Slow Down, the least successful of the Beatles' many singles from 1964.
