first lines music meme

[nigeltde]

I got here too late for everyone else's (all the ones I knew were guessed!), but here's my version.

First lines of the next twenty random songs on my mp3 player to be guessed by you, yes YOU SIR, COME ON DOOOOOWN, without recourse to google because that makes the baby jesus cry.

Some of the ones that came up were so truely obscure I skipped 'em. Because boring! Number 3 turned out to be a rare release version so there's a bonus question. Oh and it would be funny if you thought I could restrict myself to what is technically the first line.
