Takes Two to Tango

I was going to start a series about songs that have numbers in the title. However, as much as there are plenty of songs with one in the title I am not so sure about the other songs and other numbers. So let me begin with one and see how things progress. Here I am progressing. I have been successful with songs with two in the title and they’ll be followed by songs with three in the title. After it is possible I will gather some popular songs with different numbers in the titles to finish this series. The link to the first article will be added below.
