Favorite "#" Songs #8 - "6 Underground"

We are at #8 in my Favorite "#" Songs series, which is songs with numbers in the title (and the number has to be numeric, not spelled out.) @FourWalls is doing one of these as well. Will we match? We'll see. Meanwhile, the eighth spot belongs to "6 Underground" by the Sneaker Pimps.
"6 Underground" is trip hop at it's finest. And while the song stalled at #45 on the Billboard Hot 100, it reached #7 on that magazine's Modern Rock Tracks chart. It peaked at #15 in Britain, and reached #9 upon a rerelease. Sneaker Pimps sampled "Golden Girl" from the James Bond movie, Goldfinger. If you ever watched the television show Titans, you've heard it, as it was used as the series' theme song.
By the way, Sneaker Pimps named themselves after the Beastie Boys employee, The Sneaker Pimp, whose job was to get the trio new sneakers in each city while on tour.
And now you know.
Enjoy!

Man, can you see someone putting that on their 1040 under "occupation"? "Sneaker pimp."

That would be funny. Before we got the Colorado Avalanche, we had a minor league hockey team called the Denver Grizzlies. Had a Russian player, the only English he knew was the Taco Bell menu. When they took him to buy a car, he wrote "Right Wing" under occupation. They had to tell him "professional hockey player." Funny stuff.

What's funny is that they obviously weren't trying them on before buying. The Sneaker Pimp really had to know his stuff.

My favorite by them is a song called "Spin Spin Sugar." Really good.
