Name That Tune!

[greeneyedvirgin]

We have a lot of music threads on here so I figured I would add one to the mix and see how it goes.

It's pretty simple really. Just post the first line from a song, the next poster has to guess the tune and post the first line from their song of choice.

I'll start it off with an easy one.
