Actually, Suda, wasn't that the name of the song? I think the idea is to give a first line that DOESN'T contain the title.

I think bulwinkl intends this as a game thread. Bulwinkl's song, of course is "Doo-Wah Ditty."

Try "Picture yourself on a boat on a river"

You did fine George I was just thinking of songs that were so memorable that they would be easy from the first line only but not too easy that the first line conatins the title.
