The "Construct a Song Title Sentence" game

[duaneiac]

The rules are pretty simple:  Write a coherent, grammatically correct (more or less) sentence using only the titles from songs.  If you use the title from a more obscure tune, it might help to identify who wrote it or recorded it.

Here's an opening example

"This Christmas -- 'round midnight -- I'll be seeing you on the street where you live, Mrs. Robinson."

Let the game begin!

Baby, it's cold outside. The thrill is gone, blowing in the wind.

But not for me, I've got my love to keep me warm. Please, please me. Hold me tight. Hold me, thrill me. Never let me go.

Is that all there is? Am I that easy to forget?

Love is blue.

Why don't we do it in the road, truck driving man? Momma tried!

You say Grandma got run over by a reindeer. So what's new? It's all in the game.

I am but a stranger here, heaven is my home. If I die young, I'll fly away.

You say the battle is over...roll big wheels, roll, say I!

It's now or never - GET DOWN ON IT.

Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter and I love her like a rolling stone -- here, there and everywhere!

[JSngry]

Walk right in, Mr. Tambourine Man, shake, rattle, and roll, put your name on it, cry me a river, fall asleep. I gotta run.

Call me, maybe, then I'll be tired of you.

Hello young lovers, eat that chicken!

Don't worry baby, come Sunday we'll meet again under the boardwalk -- me and you and a dog named Boo.

There goes my baby. Wave!

Strangers in the night speak low in the chapel in the moonlight on the street where you live.

Speak no evil, the naughty lady of Shady Lane.

Alec Wilder edition:

Give me time; I'll be around while we're young.

Never love a stranger; love is when Mimosa and me walk pretty.

Everywhere I look: moon and sand - unbelievable!

That last one was the Wilder medley sung by Neil Armstrong when he first set foot on the moon.

Who killed Davey Moore?  Don't blame me!  For all we know, I shot the sheriff across the alley from the Alamo on a night like this.

Wicked game, boys, but beautiful.  I'm all smiles right now.  The games people play... crazy!  All of you:  think.  Try to remember what you're doing... we can work it out.  I'm ready.  1-2-3... Wait.  Hold on.  Are you real?  Time is tight.  I gotta move.  A lot of livin' to do, people.  Can't you see?  Yes indeed, I mean you.  What are you doing the rest of your life, playing the game?  I'm telling you now... I'm movin' on.  (Smile... I'll be back).

I'm telling you now, old man -- a chicken ain't nothin' but a bird!  Can you dig it?
