What do the song numbers mean?
Dave numbers all of his songs in the order that he writes them. To put it simply, #34 was the 34th song that he wrote (and so on for the others). Dave has often said that he has trouble coming up with titles for the songs he writes. For this reason, some of his song titles may seem elusive (for example, the title Granny was made more as a joke than a reflection of the song’s meaning). In the absence of a good title, Dave might turn to soundman Jeff “Bagby” Thomas (who is credited with titling such songs as Heathcliff’s Haiku Warriors and Blue Water [Baboon Farm]). When neither of them can come up with a title, Dave just calls it by the number that it was assigned when he wrote it. The first song to have its number be its name was #34.
