powers of ten music mix
Oct. 30th, 2008 10:32 pmMore or less self-explanatory! Help me fill in blank spots. I know there are lots and lots of songs with numbers in them, but let's skip the 76 trombones and the 99 luftballoons. Feel free to suggest songs that are a small integer times a power of ten though. (I've broken the rule and included Seasons of Love so that I don't immediately get four comments saying "What about Seasons of Love?") Also good: any song that mentions any number larger (er, greater in value, thanks Mathemagicians) than the current largest number mentioned. (Currently to beat: one billion.) I'll try to edit this post to add things to the list (assuming people actually come up with stuff.) The number does not have to be in the title, those are just what I came up with most easily.
