2:42 - There She Goes

The La's: There She Goes

[purchase]

This is an incredibly infectious pop song that is either about a girl or heroin. Either way, it's catchy-and it clocks in at 2:42 (or at least it's supposed to--mine is 2 seconds longer for some reason).

That brings us to this week's new theme: Songs that clock in at 2:42.

Why 2:42?

Well, we here at Star Maker Machine are very keen on advancing scientific knowledge. In recent days, great strides have been made on the question of the perfect pop song length. A hypothesis has been offered that the correct answer is 2:42. Read about it here. We thought it would make sense to test the hypothesis for a week to see how it holds up.
