Broken words II

Question

Well now it's Monday night and I'm still getting precious little social action.
So I make another list of a dozen words - well almost a dozen -
described as follows:

alternate fuel
bogus
chilling sight
can't tell where
can't tell who
quite enough
not a stiff
splish splash
sporting event
tune makers
zoo things

Again I let my pencil wander down through the list, twice, thus dividing each word into three pieces of lengths 1, 2, 3

and 4. For good measure, I divide one of the pieces again. Now one of the words has four pieces!

A A E I U [5]

CO BA ES LE SO UB UK [7]

ATE DEQ FLE FRA NYP PLA PRI RGS RNH SES THT UDU XIB ZEF [14]

CEBE ELEL IGHT LACE LENT MEON TYPU USKS [8]
Not surprisingly I looked at the 2nd letter of each word. There was chuckie's music.

Name it.
