The fact that one technically isn't prime strikes me as somewhat arcane knowledge. If you wanted that to be part of the day's challenge, fine, but if you didn't I'm OK with giving Imogen a second change for yesterday's song.

Also, if you're calling out Imogen for this, then Bob's second song doesn't count, either.

I see (or hear) the number "two" in here -- together. Two's prime. And 'i' isn't prime, but it's also a number.

Actually there was a two in my second song, ergo, still counts no matter what.

I let Bob try again after she redid "I Got Six" so Imogen can try again on the prime round.

So, we still have Katya, Marduk, Cindy, Defy V, Bob, and Imogen playing?
It's been a long fortnight, and I've been working like a...Cat?
The number in the entry must be the number of words in the entry. You still must have at least eight words, and just to be mean, the whole entry must be correct (not just the eight words).

I only knew 'cause I looked up a list of prime numbers to help me think of some songs. : )

Also: I'm guessing, Dead Cat, that this means we can have only one number in the entry?

Unless they are the same number, that is correct. Mwahahaha. (The textual Evil Laugh doesn't do it justice--this is what it sounds like).
