We all need a little humor to survive this field! Thank you for this list.

I’d suggest the following:

Duran Duran “Is There Something I Should Know”…please please tell me now!
John Lennon “Let Me Count the Ways”

Nice one Duncan, how about “I feel like a number” by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band for statistical significance.

I’d add the statistical song: “One in 10″ by UB40. (“A statistical reminder of a world that doesn’t care.” goes the lyric.)

And how about those songs from the women’s survey:

The Lady Don’t Mind (attitude question – brand preference.)
The Lady is a Tramp (demographic question – occupation)
Three Times a Lady (which I think is a coding error)
