Well, they probably didn't. But crack this. If I may drop a less-than-nebulous hint, the solution is more answer than result.

Here's the first one:


@@@ABCDEFG

qwertauiop
qwertauiop
qweatyuiop
qweatyuiop
qweatyuiop
qwertauiop
qwerayuiop
qwartyuiop
qwartyuiop
qaertyuiop
qaertyuiop
qaertyuiop
awertyuiop


And the second:


@@@ABCDEFG

qwertauiop
qwertyuaop
qwertyuiap
qwertyuioa
qwertyuioa
qwertyuioa
qwertyuiap
qwertyuaop
qwertyuaop
qwertauiop
qwertyuaop
qwertyuiap
qwertyuioa
qwertyuioa
qwertyuioa
qwertyuiap
qwertyuaop
qwertauiop
qwertyuaop
qwertyuiap
qwertyuaop
qwertyaiop
qwertauiop
qwertyaiop
qwertyuaop
qwertyuiap
qwertyuaop
qwertyaiop
qwertyaiop
qwertauiop

They are songs but I can't play anything and I have a tin ear so I can't play them properly.

Well, there seems to be a pattern in that each line is just "q w e r t y u i o p", with one of the letters replaced by the letter "a".

There are 13 lines, not including the top line, "@@@ABCDEFG", which could be some sort of key.

The letters replaced in each line are (in order): y y r r r y t e e w w w q

or letter number 6 6 4 4 4 6 5 3 3 2 2 2 1 of the sequence "q w e r t y u i o p"

There are 10 letters in "q w e r t y u i o p", and there are also 10 letters in "@@@ABCDEFG".

I still don't see the answer, though. There is possibly a cryptic meaning to Tom's clue, that the solution is more answer than result, but maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Some promising work done already. A hint: the "@@@" could and should be replaced with three letters. (With 'em, the code would have been bloody obvious)
