Friday Fun: Music by the Numbers
Despite my diet of Augmenten and Excedrin Migraine, this infection continues to wipe me out.
So here's today's fun:
Songs with numbers in the title. Any number, including zero (don't get bogged down in technicalities with me, buddy), fractions, decimal points, years, dates, whatever.
I'll try to post a list up (note: I started one in the extend entry) here of all the numbers that have been used (and how many times). I'd like to see what number ends up being the most represented in song titles. Oh, and the longest consecutive string of numbers we can get. Bonus points for songs with more than number in the title.
Have fun (and maybe I'll do a Friday Five tonight of number songs).
Also: No more than three songs per comment. Just to give other people a chance. If you post more than three songs, I'll delete the comment (not counting Keiran's post, which got in before I wrote this)

"One Sweet World"
And Elton John, "The One". I don't think anyone mentioned this one either.

Inspired by this thread, I've managed to compile a list of songs containing all the numbers from 1-100.
The starting point was the suggestions found here, so thanks to all for starting me off (if thanks are appropriate, as the task ended up taking up most of my weekend!).
The full list is here
