(First, if I may rant, let me say that when I open a fortune cookie, I want it to be a fortune inside. I didn't buy an aphorism cookie or a maxim cookie. And I really didn't buy a chastising cookie - of which I got my first the other night. "Perhaps you've been focusing too much on yourself," it told me. I was insulted. I yelled at the cookie: "Bitch, I work hard!")(Maybe the aphorism cookies aren't so bad after all.)
Now, a celebration of the number 10:
1. Dusty Springfield, "I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten" (Gesticulate, Dusty, Gesticulate!)
2. Jayhawks, "Ten Little Kids"
3. Jefferson Airplane, "3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds"
4. Notorious B.I.G., "Ten Crack Commandments"
5. The-Dream f/ Fabolous, "Shawty Is a 10" (rest assured that you won't find any more Fabolous on this blog)
6. Harvey and the Moonglows, "Ten Commandments of Love"
7. Third Eye Blind, "Ten Days Late"
8. Beautiful South, "Perfect 10"
9. Led Zeppelin, "Ten Years Gone"
10. Aerosmith, "Big Ten-Inch Record"

I just noticed what the B-side of "I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten" was--Dusty Springfield singing "La Bamba"?!? WTF? The mind boggles.
Good eye - that's a bizarre one, even by her encompassing palate. I can only imagine that she was so prolific with A-side-quality material that she had to do random rush covers just to have something to put on the flip side. But I have no foundation for that guess.
