What's that Song Called?

Recently, after I drop Heidi off at work, I can't bear to listen to the morning news on the radio as I make the short drive home, so I've taken to tuning into the Morning Mashup on Sirius XM Hits 1. The show is kind of a throwback to the chatty DJs of the past, but with music from the present. And that's how I've found myself in a position of familiarity with today's pop charts. Rosé, Teddy Swims, Alex Warren, SZA, and many of their peers have incredibly catchy, sing-along songs out right now. 

When a Pennsylvania State Trooper pulled me over the other day for going 73 in a 55 and asked me for my license, registration, and insurance, he seemed a little surprised when I unplugged my phone to get the GEICO info and Morgan Wallen and Post Malone blared out of the speaker. "Nice tunes," he said appreciatively as he took my documents back to his cruiser. Admittedly, I didn't feel much like singing along right then, even though I knew the words to "I Had Some Help." But I'd like to think I did have some help, because he only cited me for 5 miles over the speed limit, allowing me to maintain my pointless driving record.
