Music geekery

[darkluna]

Music quiz time! Here's a variation: There are bazillions of songs that feature the title somewhere in the lyrics. Here's the line before the one that includes the first occurrence of the title.

When someone guesses right, I'll strike out that line and give 'em credit. And #1 is my favorite song ever, so someone ought to get it. :)
