How would one compile such a list?

  Do api calls to something like Apple Music or Spotify with “HH:mm” as the search string. Scrape the results. Do some more filtering on the results.

    Ah so those APIs allow searching lyrics? I did not know that.

      It's searching titles, not lyrics.

      No need for API calls. MusicBrainz has a very complete dataset. All Creative Commons. https://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Database/Download https://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Database/Download

The list seems to be slapping PM and AM together. So you could get a song about 10:02 PM at 10:02 AM, and probably the reverse. Seems strange they would not use a 24 hour clock to associate the songs, and the songs not specifically being about before or after noon could be associated with both. Indeed, it would feel weird to play 2 Minutes to Midnight two minutes before noon.
