Fire on the Mountain. Run, boys, run!
The Devil's in the house of the rising sun;
Chicken's in the bread pan picking out dough
Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no!

Aside from house of the rising sun, I didn't know what they were from, but I assumed they were references to other songs because of it.
When money talks for the very last time, and nobody walks a step behind
When there's only one race, and that's mankind, then we shall be free
