I wonder what the shortest anthem is? Brevity is king!

Japan's seems to be pretty short (less than a 1 minute for the wiki version), but here it says it's Uganda's, with only "8 bars of music". Japan's has 11.

Here's a link to the Ugandan Anthem it sounds joyful and the lyrics are nice:

Oh Uganda! may God uphold thee, We lay our future in thy hand. United, free, For liberty Together we'll always stand. Oh Uganda! the land of freedom. Our love and labour we give, And with neighbours all At our country's call In peace and friendship we'll live. Oh Uganda! the land that feeds us By sun and fertile soil grown. For our own dear land, We'll always stand: The Pearl of Africa's Crown.
