I'm looking for songs with someone counting throughout. Don't ask why.

So far I've got:

Boards of Canada : 'Aquarius', 'Gyroscope'
Kraftwerk : 'Nummern'
Philip Glass : most of 'Einstein on the Beach'

Quintron's former band Math has a song where Quintron counts angrily up to like, I dunno, two hundred something, before giving way to ah agressive scree of organ and saxophone. It's from their eponymous LP.

Spiritualized, "100 Bars."

Soul Coughing, "5% Nation of Casiotone", the chorus of which counts 5 to 100 by 5's, and another Soul Coughing song which I can't think of off the top of my head.

There was that one song on Bjork's "Selmasongs" -- I forget the title, but it might be something like "131 Steps"? The counting was the best part of that album.

the Zoobombs' "Soul Bomb": "One, two, three, four, five, six...SOUL BOMB!" wick-wick-woo-do-doo [badass organ phrase]

"25 Minutes to Go" by Johnny Cash... About a man counting down his last minutes before he's hanged. Diamanda Galas has a version too (!)

So does S.W.A.T. I believe it was written by Shel "Where the Sidewalk Ends" Silverstein.

The last Shellac album had some song about a new number order, sort of anti-counting.
