Omer Nineteen Ringtones

Are there fewer songs about prime numbers than other numbers (I suspect not, since 2 is a prime number, and there are lots of songs about 2).

I find that by changing my ringtone every day I always remember what day of the Omer it is (however I don't always know when it is my phone that is ringing).

Today is the 19th day of the Omer, making 2 weeks and 5 days.

1. 19 by Paul Hardcastle (Vietnam War used for Omer reminder?)
 

2. 19 by Phil Lynott (Great song. Rubbish video. By the "only black man in Dublin" - may he rest in peace)

4. 19 by Old 97s (I have never heard of this song or band, but apparently the people in the audience are familiar with both)
 

5. Hey Nineteen by Steely Dan (Great band. Interesting Name, nudge nudge wink wink)
 

6. Nineteen Forever by Joe Jackson (chill out with 80s New-Wave)

 

Eighteenth Day of the Omer (Ringtones)

What can one do when it is Shabbat? How can we do ringtones for the 18th day of the Omer? Not sure, but I must admit that apart from Shababt, I find having a different ringtone every day constantly reminds me of which day it is (and my wife also knows which day of the Omer it is by my ringtone).

Anyway, whether you can use them or not, here are some 18 themed songs which could be used as rintones on your Shabbat approved phone.

1. 18 by Moby (Named after a white whale)

2. 18 and Life by Skid Row (What kind of name is "Rachel" for a guy? And Sebastian Bach? You're having a laugh).

3. I'm 18 by Alice Cooper (What kind of name is that for a boy - Vince?? Oh, and NEVER wear shiny trousers on TV!)

4. She's Only 18 by Red Hot Chili Peppers (funk - bad for the soul)

5. Eighteen by Pat Metheny Group (laid back jazz to sooth the soul)

17 Ringtones

9. At Seventeen by Janis Ian (Another New York Jew)

and finally

10. Sixteen Going on Seventeen by Rogers and Hammerstein (1 Jew and 1  Episcopalian), from the Sound of Music (I'm not sure that really counts - should probably be for yesterday)

16 Sixteens

Tonight is the 16th day of the Omer, making 2 weeks and 2 days (Gevurah in Tiferet)

1. Sixteen by Musical Youth (If you remember Musical Youth you must be older than 16 now)

4. 16 by Green Day

5. Just Sixteen by Velvet Revolver (What Slash did next)

6. 16 Shells from a Thirty-Ought Six by Tom Waits (Who can ever compare to Tom Waits? Fantastic. Though it is not "music" (according to my wife) so perhaps it is permitted to listen to Tom during Sefirah?)

7. Sixteen by The Buzzcocks (Just what you'd expect from Manchester)

8. 16 Days by Whiskeytown (Before Ryan Adams became famous. Not the "e" to show it is not scotch whisky)
