PAX cycled through two main routines depending on what track came through the speaker. The jams either contained whistling, bells, or somehow referenced bells or&#8230; whistles. Not for nothing, but the first draft was over an hour and a half and had to be curated down. I will hold that at least 70% came from memory and a few were Gemini-assisted in finding.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\"><a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/playlist\/literally-bells-and-whistles\/pl.u-AkAmlbGfjkxgj\">Listen yourself here if you are an Apple Music guy.<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"12\"><strong>Ring My Bell,<\/strong> Anita Ward (the short version)<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"12\"><strong>La La Love You,<\/strong> Pixies (the song on the list that your Q loves the most.
