INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY
Guest producer HUNTER RENFROW is seated in front of the soundboard, talking on his cellphone. DJ 3000 looks on with an appearance of concern.
HUNTER RENFROW: …well I wish there’s something I could say to talk you out of it, Mr. Christensen, but I certainly understand. Renfroco will always be available to provide leaf blowing and tree pruning services, should you…no, of course, of course. I really appreciate all the business over the years. Please take care.
HUNTER RENFROW hangs up the phone and sighs.
DJ 3000: YOU LOOK DOWN, BUDDY, WHAT’S WRONG?
HUNTER RENFROW: I had another Renfroco client cancel on me. They said their water bill is getting out of control so they’re putting in turf. So they won’t need me to mow the lawn anymore.
DJ 3000: WHAT IS RENFROCO?
HUNTER RENFROW: It’s my landscaping business. It wouldn’t be that big of a deal – I’m going to be really busy with AP Calculus and Bio this year anyways – but with the salary cap situation at the Raiders this year money around the house has been pretty tight and I was hoping to help out with that.
DJ 3000: HMM. PERHAPS THERE IS A WAY I CAN CONTRIBUTE?
HUNTER RENFROW: That’s really generous of you but I think the NFT craze is pretty much done, I don’t think that…
A panel on DJ 3000’s front console falls open and coins tumble out as though they were the jackpot from a slot machine.
HUNTER RENFROW: Jumping Jupiter! Is that…is that real gold?
DJ 3000: IT SURE IS. WHERE I COME FROM IT’S…UH…A LOT MORE ABUNDANT THAN IT IS HERE.
HUNTER RENFROW: “Where you come from…” wait, were you manufactured in South Africa? That doesn’t make any sense, we learned in World History that they were under embargo all the way until…well, we didn’t have to learn the date, but it was pretty recent and if you…
DJ 3000: [interrupts] HEY WOW LOOK AT THE TIME WE SHOULD PROBABLY GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD HAVE YOU GOT A TOPIC FOR US TODAY?
HUNTER RENFROW: I do now – how about “Treasure”?
DJ 3000: AS IN PRECIOUS METALS?
HUNTER RENFROW: Yeah, and gemstones and stuff. I guess vases? Basically anything you’d find in the Dragon’s Lair hoard. Are there any songs about precious artwork or anything?
DJ 3000: NOT A LOT BUT THERE’S MORE THAN ENOUGH SONGS ABOUT GOLD AND DIAMONDS AND SUCH TO FILL OUR TIMESLOT.
HUNTER RENFROW: Great! Let’s get rolling. Do me a favor and cue up a little Mr. Gnome?
Today’s theme is “Treasure”. Songs about gold, silver, diamonds, pearls, etc. are all fair game. We do NOT want songs about “money” though – we’ve already done that as a separate topic.

Last week’s puzzle answer of “Motorcrash” by the Sugarcubes was very quickly solved by BeefRiverLives. Let the hunt begin!

“And found a secret cave, where they obviously stashed their loot
They’re filling up my pockets, even stuffed it up my nose
Well, I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes
But I ventured forth before the dawn, had time to change its mind
And soaring high above the clouds, I found a golden shrine
Laying down my treasure before the iron gate
Quickly rang the bell hoping I hadn’t come too late”

Well if “treasure seekers” are fair game…

Boo.
Ao & Aw phonetically are the same as Au which is the element for gold.
TRENT for Terrence Trent D’arby, which is the original name of the singer.
Holy shit. Imagine if the puzzles were really that difficult.
