Lovely Western music

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

You probably often listen to Western music and find yourself thinking, “This word shows up in titles a lot, doesn’t it?” The same goes for Japanese music, of course, but it’s interesting to see which words artists tend to favor.

In this article, I’ve researched and compiled songs—across genres—whose titles start with the everyday phrase “one two three.” Because it’s such a simple phrase, it might feel like only a few big hits come to mind, but is that really the case? Be sure to check out this article and see for yourself!

“1234” is a song They Might Be Giants created to help children learn numbers.

While it has educational value, it’s so fun that even adults get hooked.

The band’s signature creative approach shines, making it enjoyable not only as teaching material but also as a standalone musical work.

“Here Come the 123s” features bright, sunny melodies and clever touches that portray each number as a character, earning broad support from children and adults alike.

It can be said to have opened a new frontier in educational music.

In conclusion

I put together a list of Western songs whose titles start with “One, Two, Three,” but I felt that cases where it’s actually used as a title are relatively few.

Precisely because the phrase is so simple, you might be curious to read the lyrics and find out why they chose it.
