    Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Reportedly written by Mozart at age four, this song is a fave with kids everywhere.

Second person possessive ditty?
    Your Song. By Elton John and Bernie Taupin. This baby was used to great effect in Baz Luhrmann's 'Moulin Rouge'.

Strike first person singular utilising second person possessive drummer's utensil: 'Hit _______'?
    Me With Your Rhythm Stick. Never heard of them... You?

Ring-ring definite article Wiccan has passed on! 'Ding ______'?
    Dong the Witch is Dead. From 'The Wizard of Oz'. I always thought this song a little unfair on adherents of Wicca the world over, although that Wicked Witch of the West had it coming...

Indefinite article arduous diurnal nocturne?
    A Hard Days Night & A Hard Day's Night. Also the title of the Beatles' third album and first film - a must-see.

Massive conflagrational spheres?
    Great Balls of Fire. Jerry Lee Lewis kicks a leg over the piano. Snake-handling aplenty!

Long Live Sin City!?
    Viva Las Vegas. Sung by the hairy two and less hairy one: ZZ Top. This was, of course, a cover. The song was originally recorded by Elvis.

Would that the first person singular was article person of means: 'If ____'?
    I Were a Rich Man. Lovely number by Topol in 'Fiddler on the Roof'.

    Weird Science. Great song by Elfman and Boingo (or Oingo Boingo, if you want to go back that far). Also the title of a John Hughes film.

Incorporating some small aid contributed by first person possessive mates: 'With A ______'?
    Little Help From My Friends. The Beatles again - track two on the Sergeant Pepper album.

    Shadow Dancing. A solo hit for Andy Gibb.

Definite article king of beasts is dormant this evening?
    The Lion Sleeps Tonight. A great early Sixties hit from South Africa. Made famous again by Timon and Pumbaa.

First person plural intend to raucously unseat second person?
    We Will Rock You. Good old Brian May.

Shall we perform this?
    Lets Do It & Let's Do It. C'mon! Even educated fleas do it!

Perpendicular pronoun is unable to derive fulfillment: '(I Can't Get No) ______'?
    Satisfaction. The Rolling Stones. Poor Mick - can't be for want of trying, can it?

Thou art exceedingly arrogant?
    Youre So Vain & You're So Vain. Carly Simon - but who was she singing about...?

Hair oil, motor oil - any kind of gooey non-water-based substance...?
    Grease. '... is the word, it's the word that you heard...' but not again in the movie. It's the title song, but I don't think it's heard again in the film - unless you count 'Greased Lightning'. Frankie Valli did indeed sing it.

Felicitous natal anniversary?
    Happy Birthday. Still under copyright, but not for long.
