How did
"Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey
and
"Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond
NOT make the Top Ten.
They've been the most popular since I don't know when, wherever I go.

Yeah..well...sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

Definitely bogus. I have never heard 5 of those songs...shouldn't those songs be ones everyone knows?

You may be right, I may be crazy but it just might be a lunatic you're looking for
