Title: Counting With Song Titles
Post by: Brian556 on October 03, 2014, 01:41:28 AM
I can't think of one that starts with "0", so y'all will have to get this party started.

Maybe if it's in the middle of a number where each digit is pronounced individually (like 867-5309, but that's not the title of the song). That might make it easier.

Oh no, what will we use for 25!?

As for 5, It's 5 o'clock somewhere by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett

(ETA: Also just thought of Mambo Number 5 by Lou Bega!)

Is recycling allowed?  If so, "25 or 6 to 4" takes care of "six", and I can pounce with some titles including "seven".  (At which point my knowledge of numerical song titles will be exhausted.)

Two for "seven" -- "Lucky Seven" by Chris Squire, and "Song of Seven" by Jon Anderson.  (Both from obscure solo albums by Yes artists, which is the only reason I know these.)

I don't think recycling is allowed, but that's okay, I thought of a good one for 25.

A little off, but then again we have others on here who are more off lol!

The Jenny song, though not exactly what the OP intended has to be the all time song with a number in its title that generations will always know.

It'd probably sound weird to today's kids, though, because it only has seven digits in the phone number rather than ten.

I'm ready to use Rush's '2112' when we get to that number later today.  Begin debate on whether the title of a suite of songs counts:

Nothing to add here. Just wanted to point out that my Ipod is on random shuffle and "25 or 6 to 4" just started playing as I was reading the thread.
