The Song Numbers game

[noby]

Ok I saw this on another forum a couple of years ago. We have to try and see how high we can count in song numbers, without skipping a number.
No symphony numbers allowed.
I will start us off; I'm sure ye'll get the gist.

One - U2
Two tribes - FGTH

(Next up, a song with the number/word three in the title etc. etc.)

[superfrank]

Triple Trouble - Beastie Boys
Four Seasons - Redman/Method Man
Five Years - David Bowie

[the 12 th man]

Six Song:John Cougar Mellencamp

Biffy Clyro have a song called 27
Stars of Heaven did 28
But I can't think of a 26!

We could have 5:15 by The Who if people don't feel the Enya one should count, though I see nothing wrong with it.

As an aside, Brimful Of Asha never had 'on the 45' in the title as far as I know, but you can have '45' by Elvis Costello in there instead if need be.

Also, if The Connells can count for two numbers, then I claim Steps for 56 also. If not, you can have '747 (Strangers In The Night)' by Saxon for one of those Connells ones. Your game, your rules noby!

96 tears - Stranglers (for when we get that far)

100. 100 Miles an Hour - El Presidente

P.S. As an afterthought what an eclectic compilation album this 1-100 thingy would be.
P.P.S. Just because you nominate a song for this list doesn't mean you think it's any use.
This list is just for a purpose if it name checks a number then it is in !
Stann have merged some of yours with mine....

[stann]

Ah, great minds and all that CtiD...

I was waiting to see which of the four numbers we couldn't get before using the Simple Minds one, honest. ;)

OK so,

90. The Craic Was 90 In The Isle Of Man - Paddy Reilly
94. True Faith '94 - New Order (this was it's title)
Blue Monday '95 doesn't count though, I wouldn't say, it was the name of the CD EP but not of any of the tracks on it.
97. The Wreck Of The Old 97 - Johnny Cash

And while I vigorously defend the M83 remix, as it is the name of the tune, and a cracking one at that :D , I should have remembered this one:

83: 1983... (A Merman I Should Turn To Be) - Jimi Hendrix (from Electric LadyLand, feck sake!)

[noby]

911 is a joke - Public Enemy
