"Yoko Ono" is a song by the German punk band Die Ärzte. It's the thirteenth track and the third single from their 2000 album Runter mit den Spendierhosen, Unsichtbarer!. It was released on March 5, 2001. A notable aspect of the single is that it is (according to the Guinness Book of World Records) the shortest single ever released, with a runtime of 30 seconds. The video also holds the world record at 47 seconds.
Even though the song is very short, it still has a meaning. Farin Urlaub sings about being deceived, also referencing Yoko Ono.
