The numbers have it!

Songs with numbers in the title!

Obviously, one of my favorites (as you might guess by my screen name) is "In the Year 2525" by Zager and Evans.

And there is "1999" by Prince.

But there also hidden gems in there, too, like "Another day" (literally, "one other day") by Paul McCartney. And all the "nothing" songs (literally, "no thing"), as mentioned in another (one other) thread.

Have fun, guys!

Do they ever actually say "Strawberry Letter 23" in that one? It always sounded to me like they were saying "Strawberry Letter 22." Maybe they were.
