Stephen King Jukebox
Many thanks to Yann Clochec for his work on this.
As a rule and when I knew it, I attributed each song to its
performer, to make matters easier. But I also have to say that some
of the songs Steve quoted are totally outside my area of
knowledge, so you're welcome either to complete the references or
correct all mistakes.
