The Shortest Song In Music History (I did better)

#guinnessworldrecords #napalmdeath

The shortest song in music history is "You Suffer" by Napalm Death, a British grindcore band. It lasts only 1.316 seconds!

Released in 1987 on their album "Scum," "You Suffer" is a blistering blast of noise that sets the Guinness World Record for the shortest song ever recorded.

The song's lyrics consist of just four words: "You suffer... but why?"

Napalm Death's intention was to create a song that was as short and intense as possible, pushing the boundaries of what constitutes a "song." And they succeeded!

So, if you want to listen to the shortest song in music history, be prepared for a brief but intense experience!

The tempo of "You Suffer" by Napalm Death is extremely fast, clocking in at around 400 beats per minute (BPM). To put that into perspective:

- Average pop song: 100-120 BPM
- Fast punk song: 160-200 BPM
- Thrash metal song: 200-240 BPM
- Grindcore song like "You Suffer": 400 BPM (or even faster!)

This blistering tempo, combined with the song's brevity, makes "You Suffer" a truly intense and chaotic listening experience. The song's speed and aggression have become iconic in the grindcore genre and have influenced many other extreme metal bands.
