Inn the spirit of unwinnable contests my answer is as follows:
"Too Wild To Tame" by The Boyzz, "Tumbling Dice" by the Rolling Stones, "YMCA" by the Village People, "Danke Schoen" by Wayne Newton, "Straight On" by Heart, and the US national anthem by Francis Scott Key

BTW great contest prank

I thought that Jeffrey had simply gone off the deep end to want to part with it. Or had met a bad end and his estate was syphoning it off!

I love how the rules saya "To enter, you must be a U.S. resident, age 118 or older."

Looks like no one wins the stereo cabinet.

(I wanted what's behind door #3 anyways....)

So cruel! I too assumed the maker must have died, or ran off and left it behind with a jilted lover.

Whew, I'm glad its home and safe.
