Song #118

Rebel Rebel by David Bowie

It was released in 1974 in his album Diamond Dogs

Fun fact: the lyrics of "Rebel Rebel" revisit familiar Bowie territory, featuring "a 'hot' young 'tramp' worrying his or her parents with their sexy nihilism", are reflected by the line "You got a few lines and a handful of 'ludes'." Even though the world is ending, the "Rebel" doesn't care, suggesting "we like dancing and we look divine." It also features gender-bending lyrics ("You got your mother in a whirl / She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl").

Song #106

Flick Of The Wrist by Queen

It was released in 1974 in their album Sheer Heart Attack

Fun fact: Freddie Mercury explained that the unpleasant character in the song was not based on anyone in particular: "I wrote it as a sort of tongue-in-cheek story about the con-men and rip-off artists we're always running into. Our manager would like to think it's about him, but it's not."

Song #124

Turbo Lover by Judas Priest

It was released in their album Turbo in 1986

Fun fact: Singer Rob Halford said, "I just liked the analogy of the motorcycle as a euphemism for love. And 'I'm your turbo lover, Tell me there's no other.' It's got kind of a sexual undertone to it – which is fine. It's been done many times in rock n' roll: to use a machine, car, or motorcycle. It's just a fun bit of escapism more than anything else."

Song #109

4GET by CG5 & The Living Tombstone

It was released on February 10, 2023

Fun Fact: On “4GET,” CG5 sings about his issues with anxiety he fought throughout his life, which he touches on in a Google Document revealing the background and story behind the song. The song’s title is a leet speak on the word “forget” – a theme CG5 heavily touches on, especially about forgetting negative thoughts. Contrasting the lyrics is a peppy beat that incorporates elements of the electronic genre, including vocoded vocals for both CG5 and OR3O.

Burn The House Down by AJR

It was released on March 23, 2018

Fun Fact:

The original version of the song was used as the theme song for director Morgan Spurlock’s documentary, Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!They wrote it once they watched it and said: "We were blown away after watching the film, and we immediately connected with Morgan’s passion as an underdog trying to shed light on this corrupt giant […] We wanted to create a song that captured that passion. If enough underdogs band together, real change can happen, and we wanted to help inspire that change in “Burn the House Down.”"
