"Encore" Parlor Game Meme

Gakked from shalmestere :

There are twenty-six "challenge" words. Your assignment (should you choose to accept it) is to sing a portion of a song containing the challenge word. You have to include at least eight consecutive words (including the challenge word) for it to count.
You are, of course, supposed to do this from memory, not via Google or your music collection.

Use the challenge word as the subject of your comment, and use the comments to include your snippet of lyrics + citation.

Scoring:

1 point each for lyrics, name of song, and source (performer, author, name of show for soundtracks, broad categorization if you think it's anonymous, etc, as appropriate). If you come up with a snippet from a song other than the one I had in mind, I'll give a bonus point. I reserve the right to award other bonus points for any extraordinary cleverness I think deserves them. Winner just gets bragging rights, unless I get organized enough to actually come up with small prizes or something. Contest is open until everything's identified or this goes three days without additional guesses.

None of the words are in the titles of the songs I have in mind. All of the songs are in English (heh). Capitalization and punctuation in challenge words matter. I used a different source for each song on this list, but some performers on this list do covers of other songs on this list. All songs were at one time available in published sources. These are all songs I enjoy listening to. A few of these should be insanely easy, but a couple are pretty obscure. You might find clues in past journal entries.
