Christmas music quiz help needed! Yes I like to plan ahead.

[sabinespoems]

Hi there forum friends! Let me cut to the chase. Last year I created a quiz for my family with famous (and not-so-famous) movie lines that needed to be guessed.

I'm doing famous English lyrics this year, which I'll translate into my native language (Dutch). However, although my mental musical library is vast, I'd also like the quiz to be mixed with all sorts of genres, times, and artists. Of course, I'll use good ol' Google but I figured everybody on here might enjoy a question that differs from the usual Fiverr woes as well. 

So here's the task at hand. The mission if you will. Please comment a specific lyric! Can be a few lines too, I'm not that strict of a quiz master 🤓

I'll happily take any suggestion, as long as the lyrics are in English and somewhat famous! Although I understand 'somewhat' is quite vague, so just drop anything you feel would be fun to include 🎵

And yes, if my family doesn't know the lyrics the hint will be me humming the tune so if that doesn't say dedication idk what does.

I thought this one would be apt based on your post.

'We hardly need to use our ears, How music changes through the years'. 

Queen - Radio Ga Ga!

Hmm, so a famous song lyric...

OK, I'm an 80's -90's kid, so here it goes ( some might be too obvious):

We are the world, we are the children
~a bunch of famous singers from the 80's~

A singer in a smoky room, a smell of wine and cheap perfume 
Journey ~Don't Stop Believing~

I was wondering should I call you, then I thought, maybe you're not alone
Phil Collins ~One More Night~

I don't care who you are, where you're from, what you did as long as you love me ( you can't be serious though...) 
The Backstreet Boys ~As long as you love me~

Gimme your heart make it real, or else forget about it
Rob Thomas and Santana ~Smooth~

They're perfect! Known and obvious (but not too obvious 😉)

For me Tom Waits has the best drunk song ever:
