"Cheery Dude" by Abide
Well, it's another beautiful fall Monday, and time for another MMM.
Maybe not everyone likes "classic TV shows", but everyone likes the Beatles, am I right? And the meta answer we are looking for here is two Beatles songs. You can submit them in either order on Crosshare or by PM. Some Googling may be required.
Since I don’t have a Discord channel set up for this, you can PM me to confirm one of the songs (partial credit). Or to receive a micro-nudge that should make everything clear.
Nudges are found at Posts # 36, 38, and 41.

Took me a while but I'm off the couch! Thanks for the puzzle!

PS: If you want help with a meta, PM what you have so I can help without spoiling too much. I've received lots of help in the beginning and I love to pay it forward!

I've never wanted to get a meta more! Well, you can't always get what you want ... wait.... wrong band.
Just because it's intimidating, is no reason to be intimidated.

Hmm. Thought I was off the couch, but Crosshare sat me right back down.
Edit: I had one of them. A second look showed me the correct other one. Now off the couch.

If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Feel like a dope. Got the minimal and allowed myself to be dragged the rest of the way. (There's a method that I *always* miss).
Anyway. Fun puzzle! And ...... !
EDIT: Oh! NOW I get it!

Off the couch. Lots of fun! Thanks, Peter.
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

I have one cheek off the couch.
I don't have anything clever to say, but if I did, it would go here.

Got one song with the macro micro nudge. Get the second one several hours later. It was right there!

Had it early by guessing, but Crosshare would not play nice. Finally got it with a push towards the real Mx, not my "hhhm what could it be?"
Nice job Peter, thank you for the puzzle.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
