Title track always makes me think of Death Cab. First Death Cab song I ever heard.

Title Track because I have not seen Okkervil River but I have seen Shearwater and it was kinda shitty so that's why I pick Title Track I like the thought process. Sound reasoning. Not the song though. You guys are getting much closer.

I say A Girl in Port(land), because it's the opposite of what you have, unless she is visiting. This would have been my first guess, and for that reason. I censored myself because I haven't heard Gunther discuss that aspect of his life openly on the board.

ooooh... fuck.. world's are colliding. My bad Know. I thought you had and now realize you hadn't. It's a tricky game, isn't it? I made a similar mistake a couple days ago and felt like a total choad.

Haha, I don't know what you guys are talking about?
It's not Girl In Port. Damn Empty, I thought you were going to get this. Apparently the answer to this question is only obvious to me.
Who is left who hasn't made a guess? Only three options left.

Apparently the answer to this question is only obvious to me. Dude of course it is. As far as music trivia goes, this question is like the equivalent of 'I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100...'

Except when I explain the reason, "OF COURSE" should be the first thought for many of you.

This is officially really funny to me. It's not that one either. Here are the last two options.
4. Savannah Smiles 5. Plus Ones

Plus Ones because you always tell the bouncer you're with the DJ.

Savannah Smiles because you have an obsessive fascination with S.S gear, but only for its aesthetics.
Whoops, that was privileged PM talk, my bad.

Okay, the answer is (obviously) "Plus Ones." It is a song which Will Scheff takes classic tunes with numbers in the title, and adds one (Plus One). The first line of the song, "No one wants to hear about your 97th tear," referring to the song "96 Tears" by ?. Another line, "No one wants a tune about the 100th luftballoon," referring to "99 Luftballoons" by Nena. Etc, etc, etc... Remember, I have a MATH problem?
The first time I heard it, I figured out what he was doing halfway through the song, and proceeded to listen to it about six or seven more times back to back. I was walking across the Broadway Bridge when I caught the concept, and thought, "holy shit, this is fucking awesome." I didn't even know the title was "Plus Ones" when I figured it out, I just thought "he is adding one number to song titles."
I'll let you guys fight over who wants to make the next question.
