Translation Table

Troy loves music, and he has a list of songs that he enjoys listening to on repeat. However, he doesn’t always know the real name of the songs. He identifies them by something that happens in the music video, whichever version we happen to play for him. After he’s made the identification, then that’s that song’s designation forever. Even if he hears it in the car on the radio, he’ll still refer to it by his code name.

The problem is that I have to keep a translation table in my head at all times, so I can play the correct song based on whatever code name he throws out. Here is that table with his code name followed by the actual title and artist of the song in no particular order.
