~Favorite ‘Number’ Songs ~





Bobby Vee – The Night has a 1000 Eyes



They say that you're a run around lover
Tho' you say it isn't so
But if you put me down for another
I'll know, believe me
I’ll Know
'cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes can't help but see

Sammy Haggar – I Can’t Drive 55

One foot on the brake and one on the gas, hey!
Well, there's too much traffic, I can't pass, no!
So I tried my best illegal move
I miss Alabamy once again
Well, baby, black and white come and touched my groove again!

Gonna write me up a 125
Post my face wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
I can't drive 55! Oh No!

I got one last night the same way and was shocked. LOL!
I was gonna make a run for a two-fer but have been sidetracked by “The Green Mile”.

1523 Blair by the Outcasts

It’s a short song from the 60s, less than 2 minutes...

...and worth about $800 these days

Thanks! Had not heard that slowed down version. The slowed down versions are interesting. You may have heard this before and it has no numbers in it, but what the heck:

Jolene - Dolly Parton (a 45 at 33 by a 48 double d)

[a fool in paradise]

CONNEE ALLEN -”Rocket 69” (1951) King Records

[Heart-Rest]

"(a 45 at 33 by a 48 double d)"

Well, there's some numbers!  (And a poem too!)

I always liked that song!

I have a version of that on my I-pod by Robert Plant )I could not find it on you tube), I am not a big Plant fan, but his version of that is quite good!
