Songs About Numbers, Vol. 1

Here's a bunch of great Songs About Numbers. I don't mean that the songs have have actual numbers in their titles (been there – done that), but rather they have the word "Number" (or "Numbers") in their titles. Herein, you'll find some songs that have "got your number," while others inform you about strength and safety "in numbers," one implores someone named Rikki not to "lose that number," and one guy asks a lady to be his "number two." Sooo...yeah. Enjoy?  ~  JH

“If,” “And,” & “But” Songs, Vol. 1

Here begins a three-part series (yes, another one!) featuring songs with the words "If," "And," and "But" in their titles. Because...why not? So that the songs I had to choose from wouldn't be limitless, I only allowed myself to pick songs with one of these words at the beginning of the title. Still...there were a lot to choose from. Here's my best effort at narrowing down only the best. Enjoy!  ~  JH
