Like /r/singwithme, but with synonyms! Like /r/coaxedintoasnafu, but with singing!

Inspired by this old askreddit thread, and r/singwithme. It's basically r/coaxedintoasnafu but for song lyrics.

#Rules

Title needs to be the first/most recognisable lyric of a song, but with at least 50% of the words replaced with synonyms, such that the lyric is different but has the same meaning
Content can be either a link to the song, a spoiler tag containg the name of the song, or the next few lines of the song (to make it easier to guess), or just left blank
Comments should be an attempt of singing along with the song: The next lyric, also replaced with synonyms in the same way the title is. As a guideline, at least 50% should be different. You may use bold italic, ^sup^er^script , musical notes (♪♫) or anything else you can think of to make it sound like the original, but this is optional.
Don't reply to your own comments. The idea is to sing with others, not by yourself.
Side talking is OK, as long as it doesn't completely destroy the main lyric chain

Spoiler tags

Format them like this:

[Song name](/s "Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley")

Will show up like this: Song name, hovering over gives the song name. This also works on some reddit mobile apps, and will show up properly in messages. You can use this if you want to reveal the song but still let people try to guess themselves to continue. You could also do this for the artist name or the correct lyrics, or any other hint you can think of to help someone guess.
