[Music] Pop Lyric Rhyme Picture Quiz

[Stato]

Here's a liitle off season pass-time for anyone inclined.

The two pictures are used in a rhyme/assonance in a UK top 40 single. Simply provide the line and name the song. Chart position and year provided to assist. Here are five to start. Add your own as you like. I've made them top 40 as things could get a bit obscure, but use your own judgement. Try not to answer multiple questions at once to give others a go.
