Only numbers, but ‘8:05’ by Moby Grape (great ballad). ---

I’m going to throw in [Anthony Braxton](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Braxton). He famously named his songs with graphical symbols labeled with cryptic numbers and letters. He claims even he doesn’t know what they mean. Examples on the Wikipedia link above. ---

Maxïmo Park - A19 The Saw Doctors - N17 [Both](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A19_road) [roads](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N17_road_%28Ireland%29) I think. Grandaddy - AM180 The Left Rights - Qy10 (for a given definition of “song”) The Jackson 5 song is just called “ABC”, but sometimes referred to as “ABC 123”. Probably lots of M+number ones and X+number. All I can think of is M1A1 though (above). ---

I figured there had to be a song called “PT-109”, and sure enough, [there is](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PT-109_(song))… I guess the only surprise is that it isn’t by Johnny Horton.
