I'm drawing a blank on several, but:

VH - Jump
Hendrix - Fire
Weezer - Say it ain't so (may be too long for this category)

At 13 seconds Jump sure feels short But maybe it's the 30 plus second keyboard so that makes it feel short.

Everything About You. My friend called it the "Poison solo". It's garbage, but it works somehow.

Speaking of Poison solos, Every Rose fits here too. Simple and fits the vibe well.

Pop ballads and AOR ballads (and even a few hair ballads) are notorious for these: Sweet Sensation's "If Wishes Came True", REO's "Keep on Loving You" and "Can't Fight This Feeling", Firehouse's "Love of a Lifetime", "When I See You Smile", etc.

This is the answer.
Not sure if they are "short" in this context, but Alex Lifeson certainly made the most of his spots on many of the solos on Signals -> Test for Echo

Here's a good example of a song with a short solo that works perfectly for the song:

The Night Flight Orchestra - "I Will Try"

This one is kind of debatable as to whether or not it counts, though, since there’s a whole keyboard solo just before it.

Seconded. I learned it a few weeks ago and couldn’t believe how little there was to it but it works.

That song should've also been the single after "Forever."

They would have had to record it properly for that, the album version is a touched up demo. Sonically it sounds like it was recorded through a door.

Coming back to topic :

Go Your Own Way solo.
