This is a re-post from March the 26th 2006. Added more scans and Caught In Traffic.
I don’t know HOW many times I’ve listen to “Walking On The Roof”. 100? 145? After hearing the song over at the poppunkmod site I got obessed of tracking the 7″ down.
I found it about 1 1/2 year ago and haven’t seen another copy since. The B-side is ok but nothing for punks with a weak heart. Though “Walking…” exceeds the ultimate song lenght of 1:32 to a symphonic lenght of 3:51 I still love it!
Country: USA

Typically I agree that most songs could be a lot shorter than they are. I’m curious how you arrived at 1:32? Is this a scientific study conducted by KBD labs or just experience talking?
Ha ha I’m glad you asked! It’s of course by lenghty studies and experiments at the KBD lab I’ve come up with these results. 1:32 is the ultimate length. Close to it is 1:36. Then sometimes 0:54 seems to be a good lenght but mostly for HC.
Incredible stuff!!!!
