I use iTunes to manage my MP3s and my iPod, and it puts numbers at the bottom. > [@ekedolphin](#): > > I _thought,_ before I checked, that it would be “Zoot Suit Riot” by Cherry Poppin’ Daddies. But actually, two songs have even that beat. Same here, but in my case it’s only beat by one song: “Zorro” by The Mellowmen (from _The Music of Disney- A Legacy in Song_). Numerically, it’s “99%” by Soul Asylum. By artist, it’s either “Gimme All Your Lovin’” by ZZ Top or “You’re a Grand Old Flag” by 82nd Airborne Division Chorus. > [@Dr.Girlfriend](#): > > Nowhere near as embarrassing as my alphabetically first song… “Your Wildest Dreams” by The Moody Blues. I love that song! (Should I be embarrassed now, too?? :o) > [@blondebear](#): > > _Zilch_ by The Monkees Great tune. I have that 6 spots above “Zorro.” > [@jabiru](#): > > “Your Mother Should Know”, The Beatles. Yeah, I’m old. Well I’m _not_ (very) old, and I have that song, too. 😃 ---

I do have both “Zomby Woof” and “Zoot Suit Riot”, but my alphabetical lady song is going to be hard to beat:-- “ZZ Top goes to Egypt”, by Camper van Beethoven. My phone puts numbers last, so the very last song is that feel-good Christmas Classic, “1913 Massacre”, by Arlo Guthrie. ---

Kind of odd considering what I posted for the FIRST song on the device, but the last song is: Young Blood – Norah Jones Yes, I have hundreds of other songs and many other artists in between the first and last – not my fault Norah has a song that starts with a numeral and another that starts with the second-last letter of the alphabet! 😃 ---
