The irrepressible Mark Lerner, who is just full of fun and games, has suggested another little amusing diversion for us in the comments to On and On. It's a game called "A song, a singer, a sentence," with a variation called "A singer, a song, a sentence." The challenge is to come up with a singer and a song that combine into a sentence, such as, as Mark suggests, "Blow Away George Harrison."
Other contributors have already made suggestions in the comments to that thread. Here are some that I've come up with:
I Do Lisa Loeb
The Marvelettes Please Mr. Postman
The Beatles Can't Buy Me Love
I Need to Know Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
J. Geils Band Must of Got Lost
I Hear You Knocking Dave Edmunds
Don't Stop Til You Get Enough Michael Jackson
I Can't Go for That Daryl Hall and John Oates
You Can Make It If You Try Sly and the Family Stone
Keep a-Knockin’ Little Richard
Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit
Let’s Get It on Marvin Gaye
Some of these aren't quite sentences, but I thought they were funny anyway:
Fastball out of My Head
Vienna Calling Falco
I’m Henry VII, I Am Herman’s Hermits
Sometimes When We Touch Dan Hill

(What do the rules of this game say about added punctuation?)
Escape Rupert Holmes.
My sense is that adding punctuation makes it too easy. You can add a comma to any existing sentence that's a song title and make it work.
Have I Told You Lately That I Love You, Van Morrison?

Tip o' the chapeau for "Marvin Gaye Ain't That Peculiar" -- made me laugh out loud.
Clearly, Mark Lerner wins this round with that "Come on Eileen" line.
