These tunes have a way of sticking to our brains like peanut butter to the roof of our mouths.

The Magic of Numbers in Music

Numbers have a special place in our hearts and minds. They help us keep track of things—like how many snacks we can eat before it becomes a crime against humanity (spoiler: it's usually more than we should!). But more importantly, they make music fun and catchy.

Let’s dive into some of the most memorable number songs that have graced our ears over the years!

1. One, Two, Buckle My Shoe

This nursery rhyme is the grandparent of all number songs! It’s the OG counting song that has been sung by generations of children—or should we say ‘numbers enthusiasts’? Not only does it teach counting, but it also offers valuable fashion advice. Who knew buckling your shoe was so important?!

2. Five Little Ducks

If you’ve ever been around small children, you know this one. It’s a heartwarming tale of five adorable ducks that just can’t seem to stay together. This song teaches kids about subtraction, loss, and the importance of sticking together… not to mention it’s a great way to sneak some life lessons in with a catchy tune.

3. Ten in the Bed

The perfect lullaby for those who find sleeping ten times more fun when you have company! This song is a delightful countdown to sleep as all the animals tumble out of bed. If you’re feeling a little lonely, just remember—there’s always room for one more!

4. The Ants Go Marching

5. 123456

And let’s not forget the modern classic that took the world by storm—Ed Sheeran’s “123456.” This song combines the simplicity of numbers with the complexity of adult relationships. It’s catchy, relatable, and perfect for those moments when you’re feeling a little too emotional to dance but still want to hum along.
