Can you think of any song titles/lyrics that have become common phrases?

Or if you can't think of any, what about any already common phrases that have been used for song titles?

I was thinking about Queen's Another One Bites the Dust, but I'm not sure if that was already a phrase before the song came out?

BQ: Recommend me a good song you've been listening to a lot lately
