Surprisingly it's number 3. Beat by 5:00 and 3:33. I have no idea what the significance of those are. I mean I guess 5:00 is the traditional start of evening, but no idea what's special about 3:33.
If your track is already three-and-a-half-ish minutes long maybe the mastering engineer says "okay let's add a couple seconds at the end to make it exactly 3:33 for fun"
My first thought here is: Damn, there is -so much- content out there. Not necessarily art or culture, just ... content.
Looking forward to, say, a TV show where every line of dialogue is the title of another TV show (you could actually produce this reasonably easily with AI, and it would be, I suppose, a neat publicity stunt; but I hope to God I haven't given anyone an idea).
There's been more good entertainment out there for anyone to meaningfully get through in their lives for a long while now.
Feels kinda sad knowing that I'll likely never come across what would be my favourite song/movie/TV show. At least there's always something new to discover though.
The list seems to be slapping PM and AM together. So you could get a song about 10:02 PM at 10:02 AM, and probably the reverse.
Seems strange they would not use a 24 hour clock to associate the songs, and the songs not specifically being about before or after noon could be associated with both.
Indeed, it would feel weird to play 2 Minutes to Midnight two minutes before noon.
That might be a bit harder to sync up, but would probably be worth it, especially if it showed the lyrics on screen. Plus this is using spotify's song previews to get the audio, which may not be the part of the song you want.
I especially want this to be a thing, because it took me far too long to remember that the song "queeblo - Whopper and a Forty" wasn't called "5:45", that's just the time mentioned in the hook.
I once built a little clock display which displayed "A LITTLE AFTER THREE" and similar messages. I wanted to do it with an e-ink display so it would run for a year or so on battery, but settled for a plug-in version.
Shucks. 3:12 by Suisei (prod. Taku Inoue), one of my favorite songs, isn't on there. That's probably because it uses the Japanese format of 3時12分. Worth a listen: https://youtu.be/LYFciXBcXIQ?si=Kq94sqYWv-qCkwUV

There’s a better one google is failing me on

2112 by Rush (interpreted in this case as a timestamp rather than a year)
25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago (get 2 whole mins for this one)
2 Minutes to Midnight by Iron Maiden

The idea came from an old New Yorker cartoon.
