What is your favorite "counting song" ?

99 bottles of beer on the wall…

99 little bugs in my code
99 little bugs.
Fix one bug,
compile it again,
101 little bugs in my code.
continue until bugs=0

I can only think of the old Beatles song:

“One is the loneliest number…”

All Together Now by The Beatles

@Poser- That was done by Three Dog Night.

“Gota Gota Gota Count it Higher” From Seseme Street

There is none better

@Chuck—Hmm, I’ll be damned. Wonder why I thought…

@les- I was actually gonna youtube that one before realizing you’re a programmer who hates her job…or sux @ it cuz you get so many bugs…sorry had to say it (you’re probably a very nice girl) :)

__ little monkeys jumping on the bed
one fell off and broke his head
the mother called the doctor and the doctor said…
Nothing like morbid children’s songs.

@windex: None of the above. I’m an atmospheric science grad student who knows only enough coding to get me by. And I am actually a pretty good de-bugger, I just love that song. ;-)

@Nimis—I always thought that song was a nifty way to teach evolution.

Poser: Darwin Awards for all the little monkeys?

You got it.

This is my favorite Sesame Street counting song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgocE-JfWFI

@ buster – excellent choice as well !!! as a young kid I always wanted to play that pinball. Then when I got older I thought, that wouldnt really work.

My immediate thought in response to this question was the counting trick for multiples of 4 to the tune of Row Row Row Your Boat.

1,2,3 by Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine

When I was a kid (14?) I enjoyed this one

There were four in the bed and the little one said “roll over, roll over,” so they all rolled over and one fell out. There were three in the bed and the little one said “roll over, roll over…” Etc., etc, until there is one in the bed and the little one says “good night.”

My second favorite would have to be Three is the Magic Number. Does it count as a counting song if there is only one number?

All I know is that, if you utter the word, “One,” you have started counting.

I really liked Feist on Sesame Street. She only gets to “four” because its a parody of her ridiculously famous song One, Two, Three, Four but it’s super cute.

@SuperMouse: Three is the Magic Number TOTALLY counts. It teaches counting by threes, otherwise known as multiplication!

Does this count?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AXPnH0C9UA

Jack, in that case, One by Creed counts (no pun intended).
