Coldplay - 42

"It's a nod to U2's '40' and the Smashing Pumpkins' '1979'," cracks Martin, explaining this winding, three act opus. "I don't think you can try to be the best band in the world without having a song that's a number."

I copied and pasted this from an interview on this song. So stop worrying your pretty little heads about the name and just enjoi the song! :)

42 is the answer to Everything, even this song

@EmpressNova 6x9 = 54 ;) 6x7 = 42

This song is good in funerals, actually if I die, I want that song in my funeral Xd

wich basterd named this bullcrap 42? hope he will burn in hell for that

that "basterd" is Chris Martin. And he named this song "42", because it's his favourite number.
And the song is going about life and death, so it actually makes sense.

@gerbenletzer

love the song but lamest name ever
