Just a correction on a few of the lyrics...
The song is called "Plus Ones" because it references several songs with numerical titles, except with one added number ("plus ones").
Therefore:
"100th left balloon" should be "100th luftballon," in reference to Nina's "99 Luftballons"
"TBC 1-6" should be "TVC16," in reference to David Bowie's "TVC15"
"(Cindy?) first when you leave your lover" should be "Fifty-first way to leave your lover," in reference to Paul Simon's "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"
"lighting candles, 17" should be "lighting candle 17," in reference to Roy Orbison's "16 Candles"
That's all I've got as far as corrections go. As far as I know, these are the other songs that are referenced:
? and the Mysterians - 96 Tears R.E.M. - 7 Chinese Brothers The Zombies - Care of Cell 44 The Commodores - Three Times a Lady
