QuoteSo what do we count as an interlude, then? Well, it doesn't literally have to have the word "interlude" in its title, though many of course do. But it has to have a sense of being not quite a full song -- if it's a song that feels like it could've been pulled as a standalone single (or indeed, one that actually was), it doesn't fit here. That said, it still has to be a song, to at least some extent -- much as we love skits like Dr. Dre's "$20 Sack Pyramid" and spoken-word interludes like those found on Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814, they're not what we're talking about here. 

And it has to be short, of course -- we capped the max length at 2:30, give or take a second, so apologies to JAY-Z's "Public Service Announcement (Interlude)," which is just a little too full-length -- as well as short relative to the album it's found on, so no Madvillainy or Milo Goes to College here either. And finally, for us, the word "interlude" pretty definitively means something that comes in the middle of the album, so album openers and closers were disqualified.

Mostly, though, we looked for songs that made us say, "Damn, I wish there was more." Songs whose earlier-than-expected fade-outs make us go "but-but.... wait!" Songs that go on for one minute, but we feel like we could listen to for eight -- even though deep down, we know they're so much more lovable this way.

Their qualifications
