Epic Rocking is the trope for really long songs. This trope is the opposite. Miniscule Rocking is when a song is unusually short, either by normal standards or the band's standards (or, in many cases, both). Yet, much like Epic Rocking, these songs will frequently contain no lyrics — after all, it's hard to fit meaningful lyrics into a piece that only lasts 30 seconds. Songs like this are frequently found on Concept Albums and Rock Operas, where they usually serve as transitions between different scenes or movements. An Album Intro Track will often be this since its role is mostly to set the tone for the rest of the album. Punk rock is well known for this trope, a result of its origins as a reaction to progressive rock and its excesses (such as notoriously long songs). Of course, if you have a band that specialises in songs of Epic Rocking length, a normal-length song by everyone else's standards would, for them, be an example of this trope. Searching for "Microsongs" on Youtube will get loads of trope examples. For the sake of convenience, a song usually qualifies for this trope if its runtime falls under the 2-minute mark. |

"Vacant" by Dream Theater, which is on an album with five songs clocking over ten minutes, is a variation on the second kind. Also, Dream Theater's "Wait for Sleep" fits in the second category as a song of 2:32 sandwiched between a 7-minute song and an 11-minute song, with only one other song under 5 minutes on the entire album. Scenes From a Memory has "Regression" (2:06) and "Through My Words" (1:02). |

Modest Mouse's Sad Sappy Sucker has ten tracks that are under a minute long and two that are under two minutes. Granted, nine of those are bonus demos that Isaac Brock recorded on an answering machine and thus couldn't be all that long. They've done this a few times since: Good News For People Who Love Bad News has "Dig Your Grave" (0:13), "Interlude (Milo)" (0:58)note Which is really odd, because it's background-y music while Eric Judy's newborn son Milo makes baby noises. and "Horn Intro"note Which may not count as a "song" because it's just the first few notes of "The Devil's Workday" being used as an intro to the album (0:09). Pulled again on Strangers to Ourselves, with "God is an Indian and You're an Asshole" (1:17). | |

David Byrne's album Feelings has Track 13, which is just 21 seconds long. It doesn't even officially have a name, because it's not listed on the back cover or the liner notes. It's more of a prelude to "They Are In Love" than a proper song. | |

Hüsker Dü have several examples, particularly on their first two albums Land Speed Record and Everything Falls Apart (the former of which consists of multiple, short songs combined into one track and played simultaneously). Their next three albums (from Zen Arcade to Flip Your Wig) also contain multiple examples, including "Never Talking To You Again" (1:40), "Beyond the Threshold" (1:36), "Folk Lore" (1:34), "What'cha Drinkin'" (1:30), "Every Everything" (1:56), and "Hate Paper Doll" (1:52), among others. | |

"You Suffer" by Napalm Death, which clocks in at a whole 1.316 seconds. Officially holds the record for "shortest song ever". Its lyrics are "You suffer, but why?", but its short length means that it comes out sounding more like "EEEEUUURAAAGH!" instead. | |

Rush has one, the song BU2B2 on the album Clockwork Angels. "Malignant Narcissism" and "Hope" from Snakes & Arrows also qualify, being instrumentals that barely top 2 minutes on an album full of songs longer than 6 minutes. "Madrigal" (from A Farewell to Kings) and "Need Some Love" (from Rush) were the two shortest standalone songs the band had recorded until the release of Snakes & Arrows. Both of them clock in at or just under two and a half minutes. |

Beck does this every now and then. On his earliest releases (Golden Feelings, A Western Harvest Field by Moonlight, Stereopathetic Soulmanure, and his home demos), most of his songs were two minutes or shorter. Likewise, on One Foot in the Grave, the longest song is three and a half minutes, with a majority of tracks around the two-minute mark. |

Halo: The Halo 3 soundtrack has "Legend" (0:43, for a small hidden scene after the credits) and the 0:29 "Movement" (which doesn't seem to have any reason for being there). The first game's soundtrack had "Shadows", a 59-second "Psycho" Strings track that was even shorter in the actual game. |

Stormtroopers of Death, a side project two members of Music/Anthrax, a former member, and somebody else, has a lot of these. The "Ballad of [dead musician]," for example, is several songs that are a distinctive part of a hit song by a dead musician (the opening chords to Purple Haze, for example) followed by "You're dead." "Diamonds and Rust (Extended Version)" is about 4 seconds long and homages Judas Priest's cover of the Joan Baez song "Diamonds and Rust". And the longest track on "Speak English or Die" is 2'32''. | |

Sparklehorse's first 2 albums had plenty of this trope, with "850 Double Pumper Holley", "Little Bastard Choo Choo", "Ballad of a Cold Lost Marble", "Box of Stars" (a 1:20 song split into 2 uneven parts) and "Good Morning Spider". | |

"Anything", the first single and opening track on the Third Eye Blind album "Blue", clocks in at exactly 2 minutes (for comparison, most of their songs average around 4 minutes). A extended version exists at 2:48 - but the so-called "extended version" merely loops the first and last 28 seconds of the song, along with the power chord around the middle. | |

Bush's "X-Girlfriend" closes out Sixteen Stone with exactly 45 seconds of the line "you only call me when you're down" set to a simple, punk-ish riff. They were probably going for deliberate anticlimax, because the second-to-last song, "Alien" is six minutes long and thus the closest thing the album has to Epic Rocking. | |

The first is one of three in The Wall (along with "Goodbye Cruel World" (1:17) and "Stop" (0:30)). "Speak to Me" from The Dark Side of the Moon arguably qualifies, clocking in at 1:03, along with both separate parts of "Pigs on the Wing" (1:25 for part one: the second part is only two seconds shorter.) |

By most people's definition of "short", the vast majority of playable tracks in the BEMANI series, as well as other arcade rhythm games, fall under this, lasting typically around 90 seconds to two minutes, up to 2:30 in rare cases, in order to accommodate arcade games where the player is typically permitted three to five songs per credit. However, "Thank You For Playing" from the console version of GuitarFreaks & Drummania V3 is a shining example of this trope; it is a playable track that lasts only five seconds. | |

Quite a lot of Crass's early songs fall under this trope, with several being shorter than a minute. On the other hand, later in their career they would tend to avert this, and they even recorded the longest punk song ever with Yes Sir, I Will. | |
