No - I just could not choose the Sammy Hagar song This is my favorite version of Ol'55. The Eagles have a pretty nice version as well.

An alternate 55 could be this one:
I got a '35 Chevy on a '55 frame Can't even spell my name Dropped out of school when I was 22 What can I do to satisfy you?
Nobody could sing about being dumb quite like KISS...

"Back in sixty-two, all we had to do was flatter / With a little wine and a little line of chatter"

Wow. These lyrics hold out hope for the future of this thread:"Forty-seven, sixty-three Eighty-five, seventy-four Sixty-seven, sixty-sixFifty-one, (Orange) seventy-nine Forty-two, twenty-four Forty-five, sixty-ten Six, seven, fifty-six Sixty-five, (Orange) forty-four Fifty-three, forty-four" They certainly do. Next up: 68.

For one that is not only due numerically, but very relevant to me at the moment (as I am on Day Three of hosting a friend's cat for three months ... a cat which, I am learning, hates me). Here is the Magnetic Fields' '68: A Cat Called Dionysus."
