Cover art for 101010 lyrics by Sleeping At Last

I wonder why the song title is "101010". In binary, 101010 is 42, but there is no mention of the number and all the others don't add up. (A nerdy math/CS music enthusiast was here.)

According to the novel Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy, 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. I bet this is a funny little allusion on Ryan O'Neal's part.

101010 is hexadecimal code for a shade of the color grey, which is mentioned in the song.
