103 was correctly guessed!
- is “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” by Deep Blue Something
RobuSensei, out of curiosity I looked up #106 because it seemed really strange. I googled it, and nothing came up. Are you sure you have the correct country listed? Everything I’ve seen has “she take me money and run Venezuela”.
I have five unanswered ones. I am very disappointed with myself. (28, 29, 57, 96, and 118, if you care to attempt them.)

Yeah, I was wondering about that one too. Because if it’s supposed to be that, then I know the song is called “Matilda” although I don’t know who originally sang it. But it is in the show ‘Forever Plaid.’
109. It’s all because of you, I’m feeling sad and blue
I know this one from La-Di-Da-Di by Doug E. Fresh & the Get Fresh Crew (Featuring Slick Rick), but I think they were referring to another established song.
