I'd be very curious to see a histogram showing which times have the most/least songs written about them.

- excalibur 3y agoI'm gonna go out on a limb and speculate that 4:20 is at the top of the list. At least among times that don't end in :00 or :30.
- jedberg 3y agoSurprisingly it's number 3. Beat by 5:00 and 3:33. I have no idea what the significance of those are. I mean I guess 5:00 is the traditional start of evening, but no idea what's special about 3:33.
- boustrophedon 3y agoIf your track is already three-and-a-half-ish minutes long maybe the mastering engineer says "okay let's add a couple seconds at the end to make it exactly 3:33 for fun"

- Izkata 3y agoOne of the oldest questions on the SciFi stackexchange, trying to find a story where twice a day at 3:33 the numbers on a clock would come to life: https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/2937/story-where-the-number-3-is-the-monster https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/2937/story-where-t... Though it was misremembered and it was actually 5, not 3, 5:55 is also near the top of this list.
