I'm pretty sure that 199 and 2901 is wrong. If you notice, most of the numbers are even, round numbers or 1. This is probably for ease of math. Remember to think like the puzzle maker for this. People tend to think in patterns, and it looks like this puzzle was kind of patched together from the songs, where you have little flexibility with the numbers. After all, there are only so many significant things that you can pull out of a song, even by stretching logic a bit.

These threads are a mess and math errors are being overlooked, not to mention there are some solutions that are still plain wrong (off people who just used lyric sites).
I am pouring through these and am going to make a new thread with the undisputable #'s (and I will verify myself if need be).
Then we can make a thread with what we need still.
This must look like a mess to anyone just joining us now!

trial and error...best way to go...
actually, i think at this point we need to break down what we know from what we don't and get a common (VERIFIED) sense of what needs to be worked on.
the brute force approach to the first # jumped the gun. if we'd waited to figure out the last 2 songs, we wouldn't be so damned cluttered here with trying to solve part two of this puzzle before we even solved the first part.
lol probably
and yea it does look like a complete mess and we need to get rid of the three threads and work in one joint thread, and work as a team...
thing is is there is no way to know if we have the "right" numbers without calling them...
I'm still iffy about saying that we know FOR SURE that we are looking at a california area code, because Tach is on the move...
but becasue we've reached that sequece of numbers so many times, i'll go with it.

I think we're being taught a lesson, personally.
Yeah, probably, but it was 4:00 a.m. for some of us, and we were excited, and doing our best, and, and, and....there were funny picture of cats to look at, and some of our heads exploded.

Only H, I and J need to be even or rounded, because that's the only equation with a division in it.
And if I were to think like the puzzle maker I wouldn't make such hard to understand things like the number of times "Add it up" in song 13, or the number of countdowns in song #3.
