The Cars - Bye Bye Love
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Don McLean - American Pie (first chorus)
The Beatles - Hello Goodbye
(Unknown) - I Was Never Good At Goodbyes (Yellowcard's "Firewater"? It's the only song I can find with this lyric, or something close to it; I am not familiar with that song)

American Pie (end of first verse)

The final song at 4:57 AM:
Talk Talk - Talk Talk

After the song was finished, they just rejoined the KXNT-AM legal ID:

"KXNT-HD North Las Vegas This is the news leader in Las Vegas."

And then the top-of-the-hour CBS News.

Most anti-climactic launch ever.
