Playlist by the numbers
Posted on December 30, 2012 | 2 Comments
The other day I plugged my crappy old Insignia Pilot into the truck stereo’s auxiliary input, & I started playing the songs on my trusty & hardly ever updated mp3 player in order by song title. I have no idea why I decided to take it off of “random”, but I did. (Sadly, my 500 GB hard drive has stopped working and unless it’s fixed I’ll lose a TON of music, so whatever this Best Buy generic brand mp3 player holds may be it for my collection for a while!)
I thought that “song titles that start with numbers” would be a pretty cool playlist. I’d thought I’d share some of my favorites.
(For the embedded YouTube videos of each of the songs, check the blog out here: http://aixelsyd13.wordpress.com/2012/12/30/playlist-by-the-numbers/ )
- “1 Million Light Years From Her” – Graves
- “1%” – Lars Frederiksen & the Bastards
- “13 Stitches” – NOFX
- “20 Below” – Teen Idols
- “20 Eyes” – Misfits
- “21 Days in Jail” – The Legendary Hucklebucks
- “25 Minutes to Go” – Johnny Cash
- “3 Small Words” – Josie and the Pussycats (I still say this song & movie rock.)
- “409 in Your Coffee Maker” – Green Day
- “5000 Ways to Die” – Nerf Herder
- “53rd & 3rd” – Ramones
- “53rd & 3rd” – Metallica
- “6 to 8″ – AFI
- “668″ – Guns ‘N’ Wankers
- “7 Days (Solomon’s Boring Week)” – Snuff
- “911 for Peace” – Anti-Flag
I noticed I’m missing a song that starts with 8. Ha ha. What songs would you put on your numbers playlist? Dig any of these?

"30 Days in the Hole" & "21 Days In Jail" could be a whole different playlist. Ha ha.
I dunno if Three Dog Night would count, unless it was 3 Dog Night... If we're looking at how I ordered the playlist.

Or "10538 Overture" - ELO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqgH3RNc1z4
Or "15 Step" - Radiohead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrVKSKQKO1c
I can't think of any songs that start with "8." I'd have to Google it. This is going to distract me for the rest of the night, by the way!

Ha ha, sorry... sort of. This is fun, right? Ha ha. I did have a FB post & a Tweet with "8" songs. Should I give them away?

Nice! Sneaker Pimps, Dropkick Murphys, & Skid Row... sounds like my CD collection!

Although, I think the track is "Eight Days a Week" so it sort of doesn't fit.
