The overlay was changed on 5/29/25 to make use of ever-growing bird and plane photo slideshow loops (As of 7/20, I run a plane photo slideshow loop)

Rather than update my Twitch setup post, I’ve made this original post chronicling every cue in my game show music cue mix (mostly from The Price is Right). Per a TXT file compiled from my Adobe Audition multitrack sessions, the mixes currently in rotation are listed below. (NOTES: I tweaked the speed for some of the cues, so they vary from the original links. Not all cues have corresponding links.)
