If Noby has no objection we'll try and use a song for only one number where there are multiple numbers in the title so I am inserting 747 by Saxon for 74.

Stann
This might make an interesting radio programme for one of those interminably long Bank Holiday Mondays.
You could call the show'' Living By Numbers'' and count down ( backwards of course ) from 100 to 1. Like they used to do on the Hit Parade shows in days of yore :D

101. Route 101 - Herb Alpert

54-46 (That's my number) - The Maytals . A bit better than 2,4,6,8, dontcha think?

Missing numbers 62,71,93 , 95. Noby 46 amended as suggested..

Cormega - 62 Pick Up

SR-71 - My World

93 Til Infinity - Souls of Mischeif

9 to 5 - Dolly Parton? :o

I do believe the remix of the Bee Gees 1995 re-release of Stayin Alive was actually titled 'Stayin Alive in 95'

That one might count.. over to you Noby :D

Questionmark & The Mysterians - 96 Tears

Em, just a touch late with that one smellyfeet.
I think we're there so, unless someone can find a real number 41. Otherwise I've a bit of work to do. :D
That'd be a good radio show alright, CtiD, though it might be worth going back over some of the picks and 'improving' them somewhat.

Revise away .... :) some of the tracks I found on the net and don't even know what they sound like :D

Can I suggeest 'Born too late, '58' by Mott the Hoople and 1977 by the Clash as better ideas for their respective slots?

and '99 and a Half Just Won't Do' by Wilson Pickett as a special bonus penultimate selection?

son of stan

We can always start another list there were lots of alternatives for some of the numbers.
