You wouldn't believe the spreadsheet that I maintain that lists songs, artists, the multiple playlists they insert well into, country of origin, year released, and any pertinent song facts, etc. After I posted, I found a number of other songs that I had missed the first time through, but thankfully Shellsbutt caught them. I find myself still coming across songs that would work for your "April Fool's Day" playlist from a couple of weeks ago (at least I think it was you who posted). Let me know if you are planning any other playlists organized by topic. I would love to help.
