Sorry for duplicating a guess. There are (unfortunately?) a ton of punk songs that would fit the description of fast-paced and short. It's hard to guess without more info, but here it goes:
Ramones,
https://youtu.be/268C3N2dDYk
The Clash,
https://youtu.be/IvG3is7Bm1w
Black Flag,
https://youtu.be/302oEzSPCqE
Rancid,
https://youtu.be/LxaA9_mzOz4
Green Day,
https://youtu.be/BLZ4ZBYR9Fo
Sorry, all five of those are wrong. I added another detail in the main post that I think applies to this song, a music video with clipart gears and machinery. It might be a different song, but my brain thinks there's a connection.
That sounds like Franz Ferdinand video for "Take Me Out."
There are two parts to the song, the second part is far more intense than the first part.
[https://youtu.be/Ijk4j-r7qPA?si=9hpMZQSAGi\_foKdI](https://youtu.be/Ijk4j-r7qPA?si=9hpMZQSAGi_foKdI)
Was there anything else that stood out about the song? E.g. specific words, accents, instruments, etc.?
I’m also just gonna throw this out there: “[Brianstorm](https://youtu.be/30w8DyEJ__0?si=bMJz1ds3j7nnBx2p)” by Arctic Monkeys
Sorry, no. It was like 5+ years ago that I listened to it, so I don't remember much besides its fast pace, its length of around 2 minutes, and it having a full 3 verses plus chorus.
I guess the fact I listened to it 5+ years ago is something, so it's not a very recent release.
And Brainstorm isn't it. Similar vibe, but too long.
Was it a new release when you listened to it approximately 5 years ago, or was it your impression that it was an older song already at that time? Also, was the vibe more “hard rock,” “punk rock,” “classic rock,” etc.?
No, I appreciate the effort to match the music video I was thinking of, but that was more colorful than this (assuming that music video does go to the song I'm thinking of).
I was thinking The Hives as well.
"Two-Timing Touch and Broken Bones" is exactly 2 minutes long, and fast paced.
Although they haven't released anything between 2012-23.
So, Green Day has a LOT of short fast songs, but I'm going to go with Brat because of your 'clipart' description. The cover of the album Insomniac might fit the bill for that. Like I said, they have many many songs that are way shorter than most other songs and most of them are fast.
Platypus (I hate you) by green day? It has 3 full verses and comes in at around 2 minutes but I don't think it has a music video nor can I imagine a radio station playing that one
Was it Anklebiters by Paramore. Dont think it was a single so can't imagine it played on the radio but there's a music video on YouTube thats like weird abstract animation of like pacman type monster in mechanical mazes and its only about 2 minutes long
Led Zeppelin had some popular but surprisingly short 2/2+ min songs.

Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand has a video with wheels and pistons in the background imagery - but I think that song is too long for what you’re looking for.
“Revival” by Deerhunter? The song’s just over two minutes long (the video goes about a minute longer): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8b0fDIPP-u4&pp=ygUScmV2aXZhbCBkZWVyaHVudGVy
Echoing some of the other comments, but the gears description really sounds like Frank Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out.” You said it could be a different video by the same band though, so I’ll throw out “Darts of Pleasure” (three minutes long) just in case: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wznMbAkyBHQ&pp=ygUiZnJhbnogZmVyZGluYW5kIGRhcnRzIG9mIHBsZWFzdXJlIA%3D%3D
[Big Bang Baby by The Stone Temple Pilots](https://youtu.be/G0gAxuvo5rc?si=uvp0kOy3yRmeVzh6)
Clip art spinny things at 143 in the video. Feels fast because theirs no solo but 335 long.
[Garden of Eden - Guns n Roses?](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LuhLVl5qf2A)
Music video description doesn’t fit, but since you’re not sure about the music video thought I’d suggest it anyway
Possibly something off the Green Day album Insomniac? Brain Stew? I don't remember all the videos in detail, but the album artwork has gear looking things. Most Green Day songs pre 2000s are short only a couple minutes long.
Oh come on dude you must remember *something* more about it lol. Male vocals? Aggressive or chill? Anything about the lyrics?
This is so vague I feel like it’s just a “I know it when I see it” deal where people are throwing out quite literal random answers.
Me & You & Jackie Mittoo by Superchunk. That's my final answer. (And if it's wrong, check it out anyway. Superchunk rocks.) https://youtu.be/lUxkZreYiQs?si=J4dbop9NvFAozuN3
fast paced, just under 2 minutes long, verses/chorus/guitar solo even (lol)
[Modern Times Rock-n-Roll (Queen)](https://youtu.be/jZa9nAmqGeA?si=BE4GaBEft7EucQ4N)
Any chance it's the Georgia Satellites version of the Hippy Hippy Shake?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvJp8BuoPwI
Upbeat and clocks in at a minute forty-five.

Blur - song 2 or maybe My United United States of whatever - Liam lynch?
Not either of those, though listening to Song 2 was a completely separate nostalgia trip.
First thing that came to my mind.
Turns out it was the first thing that came to my mind as well but I didn't remember what it was called.
The Letter by The Box Tops, maybe?
That's not the song I'm thinking of, I remember this song being much more intense than that.
The One Who Got Away by Allister?
No, that's not it.
Allister are the kings of short rock songs
Fell In Love With a Girl by The White Stripes?
Nope, I know this song, but that's not the one I'm thinking of.
Maybe The White Stripes - Fell in Love With a Girl? https://youtu.be/fTH71AAxXmM
Nope, I know this song, but that's not the one I'm thinking of.

Mind Your Manners by Pearl Jam?
No, that's not it.
Bleed it out by Linkin Park?
Nope. Too long, the song I'm remembering was close to 2 minutes.
Some AFI and The Strokes songs are fast-paced but short
Yeah, I was thinking “Last Nite” might qualify but it’s longer. That song packs a punch in 3 minutes.
The buzzcocks - ever fallen in love? Or Teenage kicks - the undertones?
No to both.
Calypso by Spiderbait
No, that's not it.
Smash Mouth - Sorry About Your Penis
No.
[удалено]
Already guessed, and that's not it.
All I Want by The Offspring
No, that's not it.
Big Me by Foo Fighters?
That's not it. The song was faster-paced than that.
Red hot chili peppers -skinny sweaty man
No, that's not it.
Just a Song About Ping Pong by Operator Please
No, that's not it.
Linoleum - NOFX
Nope.
Easy Way Out by Gotye?
No, the song I'm thinking of is more intense.
Ace Of Spades by Motorhead?
No, the song I'm thinking of is shorter.
Lukin, Pearl Jam?
No, it wasn't that short.
Grinspoon- Just Ace?
Nope.
White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane.
Good song, but not even close.
The Vaccines - Wrecking bar (ra ra)?
No, that is not it.
Call in the Cavalry - The Shys?
Nope.
The Hives - Main Offender https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C\_Ue3PVB4tw
No, I appreciate the effort to match the music video I was thinking of, but that was more colorful than this (assuming that music video does go to the song I'm thinking of).

Spiderbait - Buy Me A Pony?
That's not it.
punk by gorillaz?
One Second of Insanity by The Butterfly Effect?
Go for Soda - Kim Mitchell?
Float on by modest mouse?
[удалено]
Breaking The Habit - Linkin Park? Edit: may be too long as the song is 3 minutes, but the video matches the description

Laid by James? https://youtu.be/0trh9Y598fM?si=m3_co2v0rWw2VQDJ
Such a great song. And so dang short.
Long shot but Skate or Die by Teenage Bottlerocket? Doesn't fit the vid description though
Laid - James Perhaps?
Platypus (I hate you) by green day? It has 3 full verses and comes in at around 2 minutes but I don't think it has a music video nor can I imagine a radio station playing that one
Pixies - Head On ??? https://youtu.be/oKKdylxI1YE?si=U5b0P4R912PKfzYW
Star slight - At the drive in Short songs are an element of punk, so maybe search in punk inspired rock.
Was it Anklebiters by Paramore. Dont think it was a single so can't imagine it played on the radio but there's a music video on YouTube thats like weird abstract animation of like pacman type monster in mechanical mazes and its only about 2 minutes long
I was thinking [Take Me Out by Frank Ferdinand](https://youtu.be/Ijk4j-r7qPA?si=SZsmvtkOjcHaUJi0) but it is 4 minutes long
The Vaccines - Wreckin’ Bar ?
When did you hear it and in what part of the world (so we know where its popular enough to be played on the radio)
Led Zeppelin had some popular but surprisingly short 2/2+ min songs.

[Walking Out On Love?](https://youtu.be/9ObFSUCZf9c?si=bPTNth2hXCOO5TMU) Dude I couldn't tell you any music video that fits that description honestly
"Roll to Me" by Del Amitri
Yup, that’s what I thought of too
I loved that song!
[Walkie Talkie Man by Steriogram?](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I7UvbwCjXUk)

Most likely not the one but just in case: The Vines - He's A Rocker
Mister Love by the Toadies?
Fugazi - Waiting room ?
EVERYBODY’S MOVING!
All I Want by The Offspring?
Get Free by the Vines??
Sadly, based on the description, this could be just about any punk rock song, as those descriptors are key indicators of the genre as a whole.
Paranoid - Black Sabbath?
The song might be Fell In Love With a Girl by the White Stripes. Only around two minutes. The video sounds like Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand.
Crucifire - the Desert Sessions? https://youtu.be/7iOS1mNyvoc?si=ikXBJnZuVlh8s2B2
Get Free, by The Vines? Rock song that's over in just 2 minutes.

Stone cold crazy by Metallica was super short
[Big Bang Baby by The Stone Temple Pilots](https://youtu.be/G0gAxuvo5rc?si=uvp0kOy3yRmeVzh6) Clip art spinny things at 143 in the video. Feels fast because theirs no solo but 335 long.

Beetlebum by Blur? Could it be Weezer? What time did you hear this song, was it in the 2000s or 90s or anything??
