The non-English songs are surviving surprisingly well, having been neatly thinned out to one each in German, Italian and Latin. (And had I kept going, 61 would've been Despre Tine. Because you all needed to know that.)

Anyway... the songs. The 10 with added lines are in bold - so, um, not much chance of even getting to fifth if you start playing now, but hope is a wondrous thing.

Also, icon question: any idea where I can get a good picture of River dancing? Maybe I'm better off trying to screencap my own, but if you have any sources, it would help... Google image search is infuriatingly unhelpful.

I'd just take my own from Safe. The other possibility I'd suggest is having a look around cap_it, and seeing what's on offer there.
