Song #177
Devil Town by Cavetown
It was released on November 9, 2015
Fun Fact: The song follows the trials and tribulations of a young person’s life, exploring themes of Divorce, Anxiety, and Fear – Experiences many young people can relate to. Also weaved throughout are subtle implications of insanity and mania, and imagery suggests that the young person in question is possibly in some sort of mental asylum: Dressing gowns, forgetting their own name, spiders in shoes, and the actual name of “devil town” all have connotations commonly associated with mental asylums.

Breakthru by Queen
It was released in 1989 in their album The Miracle
Fun fact: The video of the song was filmed within two days on the preserved Nene Valley Railway. The group members mentioned in the interviews that despite the hot summer weather, the event brought a nice refreshment to their studio work. It also helped heighten guitarist Brian May's spirits, as he was going through a bout of depression from the intense scrutiny surrounding his first marriage and Freddie Mercury's health starting to falter as a result of AIDS.
