1. “Stolas Sings” from _Helluva Boss_
2. Midnight Confessions - The Grass Roots
3. Just My Imagination - The Temptations
4. What a Fool Believes - The Doobie Brothers
5. Jessie’s Girl - Rick Springfield
6. Happy Together - The Turtles

Surprising, because it sounds so joyful and upbeat, but [according to Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Together_(song)),

> [@](#):
>
> Many listeners … thought that the lyrics of “Happy Together” were about a couple in love with each other due to its cheery chorus and the title, but, according to historian James E. Perone, a closer reading in the lyrics (“imagine me and you”, “if i should call you”) reveals that the love expressed by the narrator is not reciprocated by the other person, with Perone stating that the relationship “is only in dreams, wishes, desires and the mind of the singer”.
