You Suffer

'You Suffer' is a song by the British grindcore band Napalm Death. The song has earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the shortest recorded song ever. It is precisely 1.316 seconds long and consists entirely of the lyrics 'You suffer - but why?'

The song was written by band members Nicholas Bullen and Justin Broadrick during the sessions for the 'From Enslavement to Obliteration' demo recording in March 1986, and is featured on the album Scum, released in 1987.

Here's the 'You Suffer' video.

I didn't hear four distinct words in that video—it sounded like "you why!" to me. Am I missing something?

That confuses me too. I don't hear the four words either.

its just that napalm death sucks.

I can never understand any of their songs...Its what used to be called Death Metal but has since been renamed Hardcore.

The entire genre is crap, trust me.
