Note: I use a ‘theme’ for my diaries, in an attempt to keep my writings on a cohesive path while I compose the diaries. It is also fun to see comments that fit within that theme. However, here in MOTland, all topics are welcome, it is an open thread. There are no demerits for being so-called ‘off-topic’. Thanks!

wikis: prime number natural number seven little girls 19th nervous breakdown 409
=================
A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, 1 × 5 or 5 × 1, involve 5 itself. However, 6 is composite because it is a product (2 × 3) in which both numbers are smaller than 6. Primes are central in number theory because of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic: every natural number greater than 1 is either a prime itself or can be factorized as a product of primes that is unique up to their order.
In mathematics, the natural numbers are the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3 , and so on, possibly excluding 0. Some start counting with 0, defining the natural numbers as the non-negative integers 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., while others start with 1, defining them as the positive integers 1, 2, 3, ... . Some authors acknowledge both definitions whenever convenient.
The counting numbers are another term for the natural numbers, particularly in primary education, and are ambiguous as well, although typically start at 1.

"Seven Little Girls Sitting in the Back Seat" is a song recorded by Paul Evans in 1959.
The song is told from the perspective of a romantically inclined young gentleman driving a car. The teen boy is singing about seven girls in the backseat with his friend Fred (never mind the implausibility of any backseat in a motor vehicle holding eight teenagers). The driver invites one of the young ladies to join him in the front seat, then asks how they like his triple carburetor, then offers to leave as the girls prefer Fred's companionship to his. Each time, however, he is told to pay attention to his driving and that they prefer to remain in the back seat "kissing and hugging with Fred." The despondent fellow then expresses a wish to be as popular as his friend.

"19th Nervous Breakdown" is a song recorded by the English rock band the Rolling Stones. It was recorded in late 1965 and released as a single in February 1966. The song was written during the group's October–December 1965 tour of the United States and recorded at the conclusion of their fourth North American tour.
Cash Box described the single as a "pulsating, hard-driving fast-moving bluesy affair about a sensitive gal who lets her guy get him down.
============================
"409" is a song written by Brian Wilson, Mike Love, and Gary Usher for the Beach Boys. The song features Love singing lead vocals. It was originally released as the B-side of the single “Surfin’ Safari" (1962). The song is credited for initiating the hot rod music craze of the 1960s.
"409" was inspired by Gary Usher's obsession with hot rods. Its title refers to an automobile fitted with Chevrolet’s 409-cubic-inch-displacement V-8 engine. It was offered in new vehicles Impala SS; Bel Air; Biscayne, and as replacement units in the 1962 model year.
