Uh, not to be pedantic, but the OP, judging by the examples he gave, is looking for song titles with letter/number _combinations_ — not songs with only letters or only numbers. A lot of the songs posted here don’t qualify. ---

“HCO 97658” by [Kak,](http://www.allmusic.com/artist/kak-mn0000296359/biography) an obscure (but wonderful) psychedelic rock group from the late 60s. I assume that was at one point the catalog number of the record. ---

SWLABR wasn’t random. It stands for She Was Like A Bearded Rainbow. Nonsensical, yes, but not random. And I would nominate Wings’ “1985” (or Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five if you prefer) but it has numbers only. Did the movie \*THX1138 \*have a theme song? ---

Or [EMI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjbie1O1jxc) by the _Sex Pistols_. They also had a song called [Seventeen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLSc9pK-VNQ), but on the label I think it was written out as a word, not numerals. What about [7 Teen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQv23z8QcqA) by _The Regents_, or [7 and 7 is](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX21p671PIg) by _Love_, do they count? ---
