Love it. Some take awhile, some I only needed one word (jugglers, tramps)

It helps that they're the 50 most overplayed songs in AOR history.

Cool , the key is not to read the whole thing but rather skim through it picking up on certain words, like muffin is "walk this way", vibrations and so on..

OK, thirty most overplayed in AOR history. Ten in soul history, but there's some wildcards.

Funnest are 33 and 47.

All are gettable. You're looking at 4 completely different era/styles in that group too.

No immediate idea, but I'm gonna try and rhyme it out:

blah blah blah you're
blah blah blah before
can't play games anymore

would you stay
I can't say

love like mine
gotta have time
