On the TMBG front, they released an entire album of songs about numbers in 2008 called “[Here Come The 123s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_Come_the_123s)”, but every song title has the number(s) written out. Would recommend it (and the DVD moreso) for anyone with smallish children, though, along with their “Here Come the ABCs” and “Here Comes Science” ones. ---

I’ve only just discovered that “[100 Days, 100 Nights](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ouI5KcyHfE)” by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings was released in 2007 and not, as the album cover, video and music style would suggest, in the 1960s. Curse you, Sharon, and your retro aesthetic sensibilities! Otherwise it would have been top of my list. ---

I’ve only just discovered that this thread exists. A further annoyance is the fact that I am listening to a qualifying song _as I type_ (2 + 2 = 5 by Radiohead - listening for the second time. It’s part of a project; I may post about it later). But in the meantime - _Bollocks!_ Mitigating my annoyance is the fact that there is only one song listed above that I am certain that I know. Boomers, eh? j ---

Well, that’s quite a honor for me. I hope you’ll post about your project. ETA: I guess I also know some other songs from the list, at least one of the Gorillaz songs as I like the band and have listened to some of their albums, but never remembered the titles of their songs. ---

Do I show my age by confessing that I only know _Jerry_ Hall, but not Terry? ETA. Oh fuck, I shot myself in the foot there. Googled Terry and saw that he was the lead singer of the Specials. I’ve known and liked the band since their heydays, but I forgot the name of their singer. File it under senility. Now I have to listen to the song. ETA2: I just listened to “19/2000”. Yeah, I knew the song, but I had filed it under “Get The Cool Shoe Shine”. ---

Damn it, I missed my opportunity to nominate songs here. I’ll vote for “8 Mile” because I meant to nominate another Eminem song, “'Till I Collapse” (note the apostrophe at the beginning of the title).
