2000 Miles by The Pretenders. Which is frankly puzzling, because somewhat above it is 84,000 Different Delusions by Shaun Colvin, 30,000 Pounds of Bananas by Chapin and 3,000 Miles by Ellis Paul. So The Pretenders seem to take this by some arbitrary artifact of alphanumeric sorting and also by not using the “,” notation. ---

[1996, by the Wombats](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8grF93Qe9Lk), on my playlist. If you don’t count songs that start with numbers, it would be “Zulu War Chants,” from Zulu. However, that’s a recording of movie audio. The next, “Zuko On The Mount,” was also not officially commercially released, and so might not count, either. After _those_, it might be [“Zone” Rhapsody](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftHkSa6GLLc) from _Metropolis_…but that, technically, is an instrumental piece, not a “song.” After all of THOSE…surprise, surprise, [“Zombie Jamboree”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yasin1ULLvI) by Rockapella. (The Cranberries juuust missed it, alas.) ---

Mine is “Your Body is a Wonderland” by John Mayer. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t skip through it though. I sometimes buy a song on a whim and then dislike it not too long afterwards. This might qualify as one I’m not too fond of anymore. ---
