23 The ultimate "I quit" energy song
Paris Paloma – Labour
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
For somebody I thought was my saviour
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour

Day 22: A song that starts in one key and ends in another
Bruno Mars – Silksonic - Leave The Door Open
So many key changes, even I can hear them. Apparently after all those changes the song finishes half a step higher than the opening.

Day 18: A song that sounds like a cup of coffee in the morning.
Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga - I Get A Kick Out Of You
An ode to coffee
🎶I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you

Day 16: A song that surprised you
Orville Peck - The Curse of the Blackened Eye

Day 15: A song that ends too soon
Greg Johnson – Oyster Shell Cuts
Song 12 on Chinese Whispers is a late night song, that continues to this song, and as you're going with the mood, it's like he's decided it's time for bed and walks out of the room to sleep.

Something else must begin
No hard feelings, honey
And we both will take the win

Ray Columbus and The Invaders – Till We Kissed

Til we kissed, I never knew the kisses I had tasted
But now I see I was waitin'
For you to come back 💕
