"The End" still wouldn't count since there's also "Are you going to be in my dreams Tonight?" and several repeats of "Love You" before it gets to the "And in the end" part.
Would the Books "Free Translator", which begins with a repeating sample of a guy singing "And I see", count?

I thought there was a Belly song which did this, but I just have to console myself with how three (3) songs from their first album start with the word "so"
("so he's lying on top again" / "so you're going to leave more room for me" / "so what, you think this is usual?")
so there.

"and they called it puppy love" is the first line of "I Enjoy Having Sexual Intercourse with Young Dogs," a controversial hit originally written by Paul Anka for Annette Funicello in 1960, and later repopularized by teen heartthrob Donnie Osmond in 1972, at a time when bestiality in pop music had become more socially acceptable.
