Short songs bursting with catchy pop awesomeness
 
I'm going for an interesting selection here. After having completely fallen in love with "Sad Tomorrow" by the Muffs, a band outside my music taste much longer than they should have been, I realized that it would be awesome to make a playlist of similar songs.

I am wanting songs that are catchy as hell and leave you wanting more. However, I want them to be no longer than 3 minutes. All songs will be considered and checked out. Help me :)

Have you tried Motown? I'll have a think about other things and come back later.

The Zombie - I Want Her She Wants Me
Violent Femmes - Kiss Off
The Strokes - Soma
The Sonics - Have Love Will Travel
The Flirtations - Nothing But A Heartache
The Replacements - I Will Dare (OK, it's 3:19, but would easily fit on a playlist of short pop without anyone noticing)
Kings Of Leon - The Bucket
The Minutemen - Vietnam
LOTS of Pixies tracks. I'd go with Alec Eiffel

This. Nearly all the GBV catalogue :D Especially "Game of Pricks", that's my definition of a short and catchy song full of pop awesomeness.
