There is a song that a few people attempt at Karaoke. As far as I know, it has less than 50 words and is probably the shortest(word-wise) in the history of rock and roll. I could be wrong, but I am always amazed when I hear it and how few words there are.
Guess it... First prize is one week in Philadelphia; Second prize is two weeks in Philadelphia.

Hint: It's fairly old and it's performed by a group that's been around a long time.

Well, those songs that were listed may be shorter, although the only one that has been sung was La Bamba. I never really counted the number of words to that song or the others.
The song I was thinking about is "Colour My World" by Chicago.

Blur - Song #2

I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy
But nothing is, no


When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I'm never sure when I need you
Pleased to meet you

I got my head done
When I was young
It's not my problem
It's not my problem

When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I'm never sure when I need you
Pleased to meet you


Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
