songs remembered from just one line

[bulwinkl]

after perusing Name that tune topic I started thinking of songs that we remember from the first line. title not in first line. since it's my topic I'll go first.

"There she was justa walking down the street"

[Suda]

One of my favorites:

"Hold Me, Kiss Me, Thrill Me"

Suda

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Actually, Suda, wasn't that the name of the song? I think the idea is to give a first line that DOESN'T contain the title.

I think bulwinkl intends this as a game thread. Bulwinkl's song, of course is "Doo-Wah Ditty."

Try "Picture yourself on a boat on a river"

George

(P.S. I hope I interpreted bulwinkl's intent correctly and haven't hijacked the thread!)

[bulwinkl]

You did fine George I was just thinking of songs that were so memorable that they would be easy from the first line only but not too easy that the first line conatins the title.

"And in her eyes you see nothing,"

[Tom Strange]

Is this the first line of a song dooj?

I can hear this one in my head, but I can't think of the title!

George

[bulwinkl]

mot sure if this is the title but "fire" by the Pointer Sisters?

[Belle]

George, if you start singing it - it's one of those that gets "stuck".... at least it's been running around in my head since deciding to use that song.

Bulwinkl, you got it! :)

That last one is "Taxi" by Harry Chapin.

The next one is:
