How many songs start out with a number?

Must have been the sedatives…

I’m putting forward “A million white flowers…” the opening line of Kaleidescope’s “The Flower Children”

Oh shucks :smack:, this is my favorite Ramones song (this and Cretin Hop), so as mascaroni said, I must’ve been sedated.

26 Miles across the sea - Santa Catalina is waiting for me
16 Reasons why I love you
16 Candles make a lovely light
7 little girls sittin’ in the back seat kissin’ and a huggin’ with Fred
1 Night with you (elvis)

One summer night…
Get off my lawn…

After my brief foray into sixties British psychpop, I’ll attempt to restore some musical credibility with:

“Two fingers, poking at the world”, the opening line of “Love And a Molotov Cocktail” by the British punk band The Flys.

Doubtless all of you already knew this:

All subsequent verses of 99 Luftballoons / 99 Red Balloons start with ‘99’, but not the first verse.

Bob Dylan, “Changing of the Guards:” “Sixteen Years…”

bah! Missed post #47! :smack:

“Der Kommissar”

The original German version by Falco begins: “Two, three, four…”

The English remake by After the Fire begins: “Zwei, drei, vier…”

If the word billion counts as a number:
Billion Dollar Babies - Alice Cooper
“Billion dollar baby
Rubber little lady, slicker than a weasel
Grimy as an alley
Loves me like no other lover”

“Check It Out” by John Mellencamp:

A million young poets
Screamin’ out their words
To a world full of people
Just livin’ to be heard.

Stereo Sanctity - Sonic Youth “Seven…SEVEN!”

The B-52’s: “6060-842”

The theme to Laverne and Shirly

Pink Floyd Waiting for the Worms

“A hundred bottles of beer on the wall…”

The OP didn’t say it had to be a good song.

100? It’s 99!

Every Ramones song ever.

1, 2, 3, 4!

:wink:

Another one just popped into my head, a product of my 1980s childhood, although it might only resonate with the Aussies in the audience:

Little Heroes, One Perfect Day

One perfect day,
we’ll be out walking

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young:

Carry On / Questions

“Happy Birthday, happy birthday baby oooh I love you so, sixteen candles …”

Twenty-five or six to four… Chicago

Wait - does the OP mean the first word of the song’s lyrics is a number? Or any lyric?

Good lovin’ The Rascals.

One, two, three–good lovin’
