That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I’m trying to stick to songs that are actually about/use a number, so no “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya” or Sk8ter Boi” I'm trying not to repeat numbers too much, but I've tried to include the ones that immediately sprung to mind given the theme. Bonus points for coming up with a new number. As always, much gratitude if you post a copy of said song, or the songs I’m missing (in bold), at buffistarawk.

Also, if you don't know "Plus Ones" (a really fun song that references a number of the songs here, e.g., "No one wants a tune about the 100th luftballoon..."), I've posted it on b'rawk.

BNL?

ETA: Is this Barenaked Ladies? If so, I have that, I only don't have the ones in bold.

Because books.

Ignore me. Clearly, I need more caffeine. And brain cells.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

What about 88 lines about 44 Women? Sexy and 17?

It's not in the title, but "Kiss Off" has that countdown.
