Thanks all. Back to a stable internet connection so I'll update the playlist.

 

If people can post Spotify links rather than YT that makes life waaaaaay easier, as I don't have to find the same song on Spotify, compare it to YT etc etc.

I had never heard this, so I just did a search and I'm quite happy to never hear it again. 😂

 

Oh my ears!!!!!!

Mercifully it's not on Spotify so doesn't make the playlist.
