Shortest Recorded Song Ever: 1.3 secs
Earning a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the shortest recorded song ever, "You Suffer" by the British grindcore band Napalm Death is precisely 1.316 seconds long. The song was written by band members Nicholas Bullen and Justin Broadrick during the sessions for the From Enslavement to Obliteration demo recording in March 1986, and is featured on their debut album Scum, released in 1987.

According to Broadrick, the song "was largely a comedy thing, one-second song. Utterly retarded. It's ridiculous, but it was hilarious. We played that song in front of 30 local kids, like, every weekend. We played that song 30 times. It was a laugh".
