The Dot 45 lists a run time of 2:20, but most entries in
the database run 2:25. Based on YouTube videos I believe
that these run slow. Can someone provide a timing of their
45 so we can add this to the database?

Mine runs about 2:23, maybe just a hair into 2:24.

Thank you. This run time should be added to the db.

One more bit of minutiae, guys. Do your 45s end on "oh,
what can I do?" or is there another guitar strum and two
bass notes after that phrase (a la the Rhino Doo Wop Box)?
Based on YouTube appears there may be two different
pressings of the Dot single with slightly different fades.

This video starts the song at about 03 or 4 and runs about
2:23 so that would mean it's about 2:20.

Definitely two bass notes and possibly a strum atop it as the song fades to nothing on my 45 after the 3rd repeat of "oh what can I do?" And I'm going by an actual black-label Dot 45, not YouTube or a reissue or anything.

That fades quite a bit sooner than my 45.
