My apologies but there were just too many tunes scratching at my brain with the kind of insistent talons only songs can have. Rather than endure that singular torture a melody that won’t let you go can inflict, there’s a Part 2 to my initial “Songs With Names in their Titles” playlist. Again, having no car and zero interest in what teenagers like, my knowledge of songs ends with the last century. There’s also quite a bit of Bruce in the late 70s. Sorry, not sorry.
