Lyrically Speaking - 3/7/11

[littlebeast13]

Boy how time flies! It's hard to believe that this is already the tenth and final week of the 2011 LSWE.... and thus, today I present the final Fill in the Blank Monday. While there's been many different specific themes in FitBM this year, many of which were stolen from Krox's upcoming summer LS, today's game is about as generic as possible. We're just looking for numbers today. All of the blanks in the lyrics below can be filled in with a number, which you must pull from the vagueness of your own brains.....

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 1 point for each correctly filled in blank.....
