No lore needed; just hear the key change into the chorus and the little frog voice saying "wow". www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS4q...

- #TheTenX5 49. Post Malone & Swae Lee: "Sunflower" USA 2018 Curious to see how this does—one of the biggest streaming hits ever, almost universally liked, there's not gonna be much vote-splitting among Postys, yet I still wonder if anyone else is going to vote for it www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApXo...
