Just for fun

I was wondering how many songs (lyrics, not titles) begin with a number??? not including songs that have a count in.
20 tokens on offer for the first 5 answers (that I manage to verify). CLOSED.

I can only think of 1, it begins "seven a", what's the song? STILL OPEN
25 tokens for right answer. (by right answer I mean the song I'm thinking of not another one that starts the same.... just in case there's more than 1. lol)

Good Competition

'kay, here goes...

*Two Little Boys - Rolf Harris (Starts "Two Little Boys")
*Rock around the Clock - Bill Halley and the Comets (Starts "One, Two, Three o' clock...")
*One Day - The Verve (Starts "One Day")
(hmmm!!! this is harder than it looks)
*Golden Slumbers - The Beatles (Starts "Once there was a way") not sure if that counts...
*The Clapping Song - Not sure of the Artist (Starts "3,6,9 the goose drank wine")
* What's Up - 4 Non Blondes (Starts "25 Years of my life and still...")
* One Two Five - 10cc(Starts "One Hundred and twenty five")

That's 5 songs excluding the Beatles one...
....

Not sure about your song that starts with 7 tho

"10 Green bottles standing on the wall"

"99 Red Balloons" I think thats how it starts. It was a track by Nena? in the 80's

Good Question

Good Question

I thought of 99 Red Balloons as well, but it starts "You and I in a little toy shop, buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got..."

Interesting fact about that song is that the original German Lyrics are 99 LuftBalons, which literally translated means "Air Balloons", which really translates to just plain "Balloons" in english... there is no mention of the colour of the balloons in the original German version... that is why, if you watch the video, there are balloons of many different of colours in it...

You are quite correct about the lyrics. I never realised about the translation!

I remember the hairy armpits though

ok that'll do. If i'd realised how easy it actually was i'd put lower prizes.

Nutty 100 tokens for the 1st 5. well done.

Smartsez well done, although they weren't the first 5 i'll give you 50 for taking part.

Guru, did anyone actually release 10 green bottles? 20 tokens anyway for makin me think. lol

ok, just got to see if you can figure out what my song is now. for 25 points.

**TheGuru** · 20-09-2007, 03:08 PM
