Nine
This is the squalid, or moving, part of the story, and the scene changes. The people change, too. I'm still around, but from here on in, for reasons I'm not at liberty to disclose, I've disguised myself so cunningly that even the cleverest reader will fail to recognize me.

Great idea for a post! Made me think also of Sanford Clark's "9 Lb Hammer" with Al Casey on guitar.
Hey you should have gone for the Heavy Metal Ukulele Singalong version of Revolution#9 at www.rogeranddave.net
Keith fell on me & my brother that year. He was being carried out of the after party for Tosh/SNL at One Fifth.
He got popped right after that, correct?
All very good songs.
Another good option would have been Roger Miller's "Engine Engine Number 9"
