Request Line: Pass it On

In “honor” of the fact that coronavirus seems to be spreading throughout the world without any signs of abating, I thought we’d try something a little bit different (and unprecedented) here on Request Line today.  Here’s how the game works.  I’m going to post a song with a number in it to get us started.  The next person to post has to post a song with either one number higher, or one number lower, or half, or double.  Song names or band names are both acceptable.  So we should see a progression something like this:

One – U2

(-1) Zero – Smashing Pumpkins

(+1) One Love – Bob Marley

(+1 or x2) Two-Headed Boy – Neutral Milk Hotel

(x2) What’s Going On – Four Non Blondes

Hopefully you get the idea.  I’ll try to play referee as I’m available.  Songs with multiple numbers in their name are wild cards (of a sort), so something like “Two out of Three Ain’t Bad” can work as either a two or a three, and the same holds true for the next person to make a request.  Please don’t take two turns in a row, and let’s avoid doing any DOUBLE SHOTS for today.  Note which mathematical operation you used the same way I did above.  Let’s get started!

Not sure why you’d use this song when a certain REM song was right there, but whatever.

+ don’t know how many because SoS if fucking with me. We got a 13 and a 1972. The 13 is easier for me to do the math so…. We’ll call it (+2099).

SonOfSpam

1972 is the year it came out; so we’re not gonna even math any more?

We’ll just call this an interlude.

Had that record as a wayward youth. Take off, eh?

Ten bucks is ten bucks.

Nice. Sorry we overlapped.
And no I don’t mean sexually. Probably.

SonOfSpam

Eh, it’s all good. The auditors will clean this up later.

Dude……………

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hey, it’s bad enough when SoS “Dudes” me. Now you too?

SonOfSpam

He was right to do it.

I still reserve the right to use the entire half-hour.

SonOfSpam

A prog rock purist. Nice.

theeWeeBabySeamus

OK, so after tWBS (what an asshole, right?) came in and fucked everything up…what the hell number are we on?

SonOfSpam

You posted 8, and it’s a different version of the song, so 8 is the current thing.

theeWeeBabySeamus
SonOfSpam

7×1=8 in North Carolina?

Also, song was used before. By me. Which I’m used to. From you.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Shut up, I hit x by mistake and it has now been fixed.

theeWeeBabySeamus

You posted it? I just scrolled back and didn’t see it.
I might need a reboot. Also the computer probably does too.

SonOfSpam

You acknowledged it with your Gwen song.

SonOfSpam

Don’t worry, you’re killin it* today.

*it = Rikki’s creative spirit

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ah, the shitty live version where Stipe looks like Roger Daltrey. No wonder I missed it.
And Rikki loves me….sometimes moar than I’m comfortable with.
But he’s cute and a gentle lover so I put up with it.

He’s too fast, now I gotta do moar math and moar editing.

DAMMIT!!!!
He’s too fast

That’s what she said.

Senor Weaselo

The last number that counts was 8, so this somehow works on account of half!

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m not sure I understand the rules here. And counting has never been my strong suit. I can make it to 21 if I take off my shoes and underpants. Then it’s anyone’s ballgame after that.
But this version of “One” is way superior to the original. And I’ll fight ya over that. With no shoes and no pants probably.
