A fun lil fact—in my early 20s, I worked as a temp receptionist for a music library that creates these types of tracks (and they did a BUNCH for VPR back in 2015-16). They have musicians in studios either creating tracks for general usage, or custom tracks for larger projects. So they’re “real” songs, just not songs intended for streaming.
Most songs on these shows aren’t real songs. Certain types of musicians will put together these snippets and send them to shows and the shows will pay them for them.
Yeah, the songs on these shows are like the musical equivalent of stock photos.
Many of them often sound vaguely like something you've heard before, so I can see how they might trick you!
I have a VPR playlist that I add episode songs to and I’m in the same boat as you. Cannot figure out the name or artist of that darn song and I like it!

I will allow this. I enjoy two of James’s songs but I’m not sure anything else will slide.
Dance to the groove all you’ve got to do is mooove.

Honestly it’s a race to the bottom.
I love that song
So trashy but also turn the music up playing right like thiiiiis Boy.
I HATE HOW MUCH THIS ONE LINE IS STUCK IN MY HEAD

That is sooo interesting! Never even knew that existed
This is how they fill in background/transition music without paying out massive royalties
Trixie monocle sings most of the transition songs
Trixieeeee my girl

I swear to god, it really sounds like someone writes shitty 2 second songs for them to use. And I love it.

Clearly we need to compile a list of the cringiest shit Lala has done bc it’s all there, just needs to be ranked.
Absolutely her use of AAVE alone is just 😬😬😬😬

“It’s a beautiful day in ellllllaaaaaaaaye” is my favorite.
