Lyrically Speaking - 2/1/21

[littlebeast13]

Consider this one kind of a companion game to the short snippet theme. While brainstorming ideas for today's game, I recalled a lyrical Tangredi puzzle from a few years ago that involved putting together the opening lines to songs. So.... below are 15 lines that are the first words you'll hear in certain songs. I tried to only pick songs that are pretty well known, as I think this may be just a tad harder than regular short snippets due to the first line restriction. Well, let's see how you do with these!

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...

I think first lines are much easier than snippets, because everybody knows the first line of something, right? Like we're all in on the first verse of America the Beautiful or O Come, All Ye Faithful (or, as I like to call it, Adeste Fideles. My sister and I used to do this Christmas duet thing where she would sing the English and I would sing the Latin at the same time), but it gets a bit sketch after that first chorus....

Yes, this is what I've been reducted to....shilling squirrels in a vain attempt at an IBB. Although if a kitten in a banana blanket won't do it, I don't know what will.
