Music meme answers
::snickering:: I skipped instrumentals, songs not in English, and the ones where the opening lines *are* the title! (It took me 36 songs to get 20 sets of lyrics....) All links to the songs go to YouTube. Man, this meme definitely taught me I pay no attention to opening lyrics...
