Xander ,'First Date'
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.
There goes half of my list.... Though anyone that likes "American Boy" should check out "1980," anyway.
And I do have a few more "16" songs:
"Only 16" -- Sam Cooke OR Dr. Hook
"When You Were Sweet 16" -- Perry Como (among others)
"Happy Birthday Sweet 16" -- Neil Sedaka
"You're 16" -- Johnny Burnette OR Ringo Starr
"16 Going on 17" -- Sound of Music
I'm mostly using 867-5309 because of the "Jenny I got your number" chorus.
juliana, I knew you would have the Lucero, but I'd also love "1234" and "10 Piegamenti!".
Sexy and 17! Yes! Does anyone have this?
Or, "Sixteen Candles"? Although, I'm not short on ideas for 16. I already eliminated "You're Sixteen, You're Beautiful, and You're Mine" and "Only Sixteen". As for the color theme, I was surprised what numbers were easy (7? 9?) and what were hard (10?).
"Nineteen Forever" by Joe Jackson
"50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" by Paul Simon
Oh, and to pair with Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4," they also recorded "Questions 67 and 68."
And to add: Yes, the classic "sweet sixteen" theme makes 16 easy. Though it probably says something about me that I went with George Burns for 18 instead of Skid Row's "18 and Life."
"6.4 = Make Out", Gary Wilson
88 lines about 44 Women
I don't know this but it sounds fun.
One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer", George Thorogood
"50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" by Paul Simon
Skippers!
ETA:
"6.4 = Make Out", Gary Wilson
This title intrigues me greatly.
Soul Coughing's Casiotone Nation obviously doesn't have a number in the title but it's all about numbers.
It cracks me up that Johnny Cash seems to have a song for every theme I come up with.
One Hundred Punks by Generation X.
