So we have an endearing, off-beat comment about love, diet and shopping and a song that glitters like a piece of jewelry with exquisite little gems of sound.

This is what makes a good post great. Well done as usual Lisnaholic!
My immediate thoughts on short songs are John Zorn and friends in Naked City playing Speedfreaks, and the Minutemen (so known for their short songs).
