Do you know the track numbers of all of Stevie's songs?

[SpyNote]

...as they appear on her albums and singles? I know the polls have gotten a little out of control lately, but I was strangely curious.

[Johnny Stew]

I used to know the track number for every song on every one of Stevie's albums (and which track number her songs were on the Mac albums as well), just off the top of my head.

These days, I'd have to think pretty hard about it before I could answer.

[Hawkeye]

quite simply, yes.

[The Catdancer]

Not anymore....

[Nixxxed]

Yes. When I can't sleep, I play the Stevie Tracklist Game. It's much more fun than counting sheep. I slowly name the songs, in order by album. If I still can't sleep once I finish TISL, I start over with Bella Donna and let my inner priestess sing them instead.

WHOA!

Chucky, I did that for YEARS!!! And if I made a mistake, I would stop and start over from the beginning.
Too funny!

About five years ago, though, I got a cheap-o portable CD player, and now I put headphones on and listen to that as I fall asleep.

Listening to the songs just wouldn't work for me if I were trying to sleep. The "first side" of Bella Donna would be fine, but who wants to sleep when you're listening to Edge of Seventeen?

The Tracklist Game is fine, but the Sing the Catalog Game gets a little tricky, especially with songs I don't completely love (Two Kinds of Love) or with songs where I prefer the concert version (Outside the Rain) or songs where I prefer the demo/alternate (I Sing for the Things).

The internal monologue goes something like this, tossing and turning not indicated:

"Well I talked to my famous friend last niiiiiight"
(I really hate the way she sings "night" - why didn't they use another vocal?)
"My third day up, well his second night-er"
(If I don't fall asleep soon, it'll be my third day up, too!)
"He said, 'I don't know how you do what you do - how do you let the world in?"
(Ooh! Bruce Hornsby! I'd forgotten how much I liked his album - I wonder what ever happened to that CD? Did I loan it to someone? Is it one of the ones that were stolen? Weird. Maybe I can find a good used copy. Or I'll be bad and look for a few songs online. Wait - what was that song of his I used to really like? Doo-doo-doo... Oh yeah, The Valley Road: 'Standing like a stone on the old plan-ta-TION, rich old man...')

(Crap! *slams pillow*)

No way. Some of you people must be some kind of savant.

[DavidMn]

I have to admit to needing to bone up on that.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Yes, I do.

I'm getting pretty good with 'Mac tracklistings as well.

I always test myself to see if I can name all the Tusk songs in order.

have referred to me as, a "musical savant"...But not a stupid one.

I still somewhat know the track order of the studio releases, which is surprising since half the time I can barely remember my name with my health problems.

Oh, I voted "No".

[Sahara]

Most of the time, yes.
I reckon I need to brush up a little, though!

And next time I can't get to sleep, I'll give this a try instead of the Rosary for one night!

I used to have a crush on Doug Savant - does that count?

[danax6]

Wait, is that considered to be weird?
