adj : intrusive in a meddling or offensive manner; "an interfering old woman"; "bustling about self-importantly making an officious nuisance of himself"; "busy about other people's business" [syn: interfering, meddlesome, meddling, busy, busybodied] Marked by excessive eagerness in offering unwanted services or advice to others: an officious host; officious attention. Informal; unofficial. Archaic. Eager to render services or help others

she found all the songs on her own, bc of course i don't know the names or who even sang half of the stuff. she is a huge 80s freak and so she comes upon the stuff herself. Her latest fixation is the tv series, Saved By the Bell. RME!
