DK about the shortest song, but the longest title was that "Stars on 45" Beatles medley:
Medley: Intro Venus/Sugar Sugar/No Reply/I'll Be Back/Drive My Car/Do You Want To Know a Secret/We Can Work It Out/I Should Have Known Better/Nowhere Man/You're Going To Lose That Girl/Stars on 45

What #1 song had the LONGEST TITLE? Not too sure if it ever made #1 (or even the top 100 for that matter) but the song with the LONGEST TITLE on record is:
"Several species of small, furry animals, gathered together in a cave, and grooving with a Pict" Mike Oldsfield, "Tubular Bells" Album

What was the SHORTEST song (in terms of time of play) to go to #1? Depends on definitions. But I'd nominate Some Kinda Earthquake by Duane Eddy, from 1959, all 1 minute and 17 seconds worth.
