Thanks for the welcome, Lisnaholic. Yes that is precisely the song I meant.

Thanks for the Twelve Days of Christmas, Lilja.

Here's a lesser-know song that also counts days:-

Batlord and Lilja; thanks for your two lively songs, which certainly bring some fresh energy to the music in this thread, and are both outside the scope of what I usually listen to!

Not sure why, but Manfred Mann has twice used lists of numbers in his lyrics, once in 1964, and then again in 1979. Both songs still sound surprisingly fresh, IMhumbleO.
And please notice the record cover that turns up forty-five seconds into 5-4-3-2-1 ; I was once the proud, ten-year-old owner of that EP. (Ah me, how hard it is to connect to that individual today. )

Bumping this to add an exquisite song:-



"Children, go were I send thee; how shall I send thee?
.... four for the four that stood at the door.....
...one for the little bitty baby was born born born in Bethlehem."


Something about this song - the voice? the melody? the lyrics, which walk a fine line between meaning and nonsense? - well, there's something that makes this song exceptionally beautiful imo.

And if you haven't already, you can read Neapolitan's review of the album here :- http://www.musicbanter.com/1899839-post218.html
