Dennis Dunaway, writer of the longest song from the Coopers


Under 2 Minutes - ACs Shortest Songs
At 55 seconds, Street Fight (School's Out) is technically the shortest, though I've always considered it part of Gutter Cat. Next is Titanic Overture (1:12), an instrumental, which was the first song on the first AC LP (FYI: Pretties For You has the most songs under 2 min with 5 tracks). The shortest song with lyrics is on the W2MN CD, written by Cooper and Ezrin, The Nightmare Returns clocks in at 1:14.

The remaining 6
B.B. on Mars - 1:17
Earwigs to Eternity - 1:19
Leather Boots - 1:36
10 Minutes Before the Worm - 1:39
Today Mueller - 1:48
Refrigerator Heaven - 1:54
