“Find” & “Lose” Songs, Vol. 1

Okay, so I had the brilliant idea to post some "Find" and "Lose" songs, but I found way more "Find" songs than I could reasonably use. So this will be a 2-parter. But wait! Even after 2 parts, there were more "Find" songs left over. So I had to do a "Find" and "Replace" post. But wait...still more "Find" songs! So I had to do a "Seek" and "Find" post. So settle in, 'cuz – as you will "Find" – this is only the beginning. Enjoy!  ~  JH
