Here's a bit of trivia for you. According to Dr. Demento, the song "Little Boxes" by The Womenfolk was the shortest song in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. You can find the lyrics by doing a search like this one, though I won't post them here. (Beware of tons of pop-up ads from song lyric sites!)
You can download the song here. Souces I have seen give the recording a duration of 1:02, though this mp3 comes in at 1:03.
Despite the song being from more than a generation ago (more like a generation and a half), it sounds rather "modern" in its negative take on suburban living. I guess the suburbs have been with us for a while now.
