Day 4: "Foreman of the Mill," The Original Brothers and Sisters of Love (2001)
Wonderful economy of storytelling, which reveals the motive & method for a steelworker's murder of his abusive boss all in 1 min 39 sec. Featured this for #Top20ShortSongs a few months ago.

12. "Two Six Packs," Cash O'Riley & The DownRight Daddies
I recently featured this as one of my #Top20ShortSongs picks. It's 2 minutes and 19 seconds of sax-fueled rockabilly jiving by yet another Michigan indie musician.

Typically, it's one song per day (some people rank, others just do 10 faves in no order).
If you look at #Top20ShortSongs, that should hopefully give some indication as to how it's usually done, but there is no right or wrong way.

It's instructive that, despite this site's reputation for wokeness, the top forty picks for #Top20ShortSongs are about as pale, male and stale as anything #MusicTwitter achieved.
