Ringo Starr, It Don't Come Easy

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy

Walking the Dog

Ask your mama for fifteen cents
To see the elephant jump the fence
It jumped so high, it touched the sky
Didn't come back 'til the fourth of July

Rufus Thomas



The Rolling Stones



Aerosmith

The Byrds, Chestnut Mare

Well, I got her, and I'm pullin' on her
And she's pullin' back like this mule goin' up a ladder
And I take a choice and I jump right up on her
Damned if I don't land right on top of her

Bobby Helms, Jingle Bell Rock


Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Madonna's Jump from the album Confessions on a Dance Floor. This was actually my favorite song from that very good album. Should have been a hit, but radio passed on it. It was the fourth single from the album, but did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100. It *did* go to #1 on the U.S. Dance charts (like 49 other Madonna singles).

Lynn Anderson's Rose Garden. Lyrics: "You better look before you leap/still waters run deep". The single from 1970 was #1 on the Billboard Country Singles chart for five weeks, rose to #3 on the Hot 100 and was also a #5 AC hit.

Trivia aside: Rose Garden was sampled in the 1989 #15 Hot 100 hit I Beg Your Pardon by Kon Kan. The lyrics mentioned above were not a part of the sample, however.
