SINPO=13121 unfortunately here.

101- "I Know What Boys Like" by The Waitresses. Can only make out the distinctive tune from my 80s memory, as QRN is very heavy at this QTH.
103- "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" by John Denver. Again, can only ID song because of it's distinctive tune, barely cutting through the noise.

132- "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" by Queen. Still very tough copy here.

Decent signal here, "boys" theme. I predict "Boys of Summer" by Don Henley will be in the set list. Thanks for the show!
