Song #156

Radio Ga Ga by Queen (specifically the Live Aid version because that was today)

It was released in 1984 in the album The Works, this recording however was recorded on July 13, 1985

Fun fact: Queen played a shorter, up-tempo version of "Radio Ga Ga" during this concert at Wembley Stadium, where Queen's "show-stealing performance" had 72,000 people clapping in unison.

"I remember thinking 'oh great, they've picked it up' and then I thought 'this is not a Queen audience'. This is a general audience who've bought tickets before they even knew we were on the bill. And they all did it. How did they know? Nobody told them to do it."

—Brian May on the audience participation in clapping to "Radio Ga Ga" at Live Aid.

Song #166

Rock Soldiers by Ace Frehley

it was released in 1987 in Ace’s album Frehley’s Comet

Fun fact: Ace Frehley wrote this with Chip Taylor. Frehley explained to American Songwriter magazine in 1988 how their collaboration worked: "Chip wrote most of the lyrics and I wrote most of the music because I've known Chip for years and he was aware of the incident that went down in the summer of '83 when I had the car accident and he thought it would be a great idea to write a song around it."

Song #165

I Hear A Symphony by Cody Fry

It was released on October 6, 2017

Fun Fact: "To say I was surprised would be a pretty epic understatement. It was like being struck by lightning. It felt so insane and random. I had just released an album a month or so earlier and then suddenly people on the internet were just like, “Cool new album but hold that thought, what about this song from 3 years ago?” It’s sort of the last thing you expect when you’re promoting a new album. I didn’t even have a TikTok account when this all happened, so it truly shocked me in the most incredible way. And I love seeing how people have incorporated “I Hear a Symphony” into their lives… it’s incredible."
