songs remembered from just one line

[Gen-2]

Okay - an odd and older one,... The first line in the song contains its name - so - This is the second line,...

Those days of soda and pretzels and beer;

And this is a whole verse later in the song to help

Don't hafta tell a girl and fella about a drive-in

Or some ro-man-tic movie scene;

Right from the moment that those lovers start ar - ri - vin'

You'll see more kissin' in the cars than on the screen.

Probably too obscure.

How about this one?

"Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today."

This one might be a little less known, but it was pretty big when it came out:

A ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor...

It's "Boom Boom Boom" by John Lee Hooker. Actually, I'm thinking this wasn't fair. I just got excited about he song. It's obscure, and I just realized that he doesn't sing it the same way twice. So it would have been difficult to pick out the title from one line, anyway. I apologize. Here it is if you're interested:

Free post, somebody!
