'Jaynestown'
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.
"1,000,000" by Nine Inch Nails.
M.I.A. also has "10 Dollar."
Also, you appear to be missing Feist's "1234," which was just mentioned recently! Heh.
Sneaker Pimps, "6 Underground."
Ack! You need the Decemberists, "16 Military Wives"! There are lots of numbers.
Jump, Little Children, "B-13." Incubus, "11am."
M.I.A. also has "10 Dollar."
Do all their songs involve money? My "No Lawyers or Guns" mix is starting to seem like it's all M.I.A. all the time.

Juliana sent it to me.

True, although, like 16, certain numbers just seem to come up a lot.

I'm not so sure about money per se, but her music is very political.

Hee. It's a she, not a they. Like Fred says, her music is very political, and there are a lot of guns. Sometimes money. I'm not as familiar with "20 Dollar," but it's on the new album, I think. "10 Dollar," the one I know, was on Arular.

Yeah, but with "16 Military Wives," you get a bonus 32.
There's also 19 by Paul Hardcastle
Oh, shit, there's also "Nineteen" by Tegan and Sara!
What, no ELO love? I love "10538 Overture". It's on my Life on Mars soundtrack -- can't remember when they used it on the show though.
"156" by Mew is gooooorgeous.
"2080" by Yeasayer. One of my favourite songs from last year. (Hey, that rhymes!)
"3000 Flowers", Destroyer.
"Seventy-Four, Seventy-Five" by Shearwater.
"Three Little Words" by Da Vinci's Notebook makes me snorfle.
"Four Leaf Clover", Old 97's.
"Four Long Days", Voxtrot.
"Sixteen Blue", The Replacements.
"5:55", Charlotte Gainsbourg.
Has no one yet mentioned all the Multiplication Rock stuff?
That sounds a lot like a dumb publicity stunt. I mean, Lydon was in a band with Jah Wobble during the years of English punk's flirtation with the racist side of skinhead culture.
I dunno, I just think Lydon's completely clueless. I remember an interview he did on Aussie TV in the late 80s, where he basically called Nelson Mandela nothing more than a terrorist, and was appalled at all the efforts to free him from prison. Unfortunately, he wasn't taking the piss, or attempting to be ornery; he was totally serious. It was around that time I stopped taking much notice of him.

Uh, WHAT? Excuse me whilst I boggle.
