Can you name these songs?

The lyrics of songs are listed, alphabetically, with each word appearing only once.

This is crazy.

The first two are Light My Fire and Walk This Way.

Still working on it.

EDIT: No. 5 is Born to Run.

EDIT EDIT: 7 is Hotel California, and 8 is Good Vibrations.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: 50 is Yesterday.

Now I'm taking a break.

 

47 is Rock Lobster, and 42 is Highway to Hell.

 

That's way more difficult than it seems like it should be.

 

Apparently not for Bob!

 

The key, I think, is to look for the one or two strange words that stand out. That doesn't always work, but it works for some.

Like, 4 is Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan (there, "unknown" stood out for me).

20 is All Along the Watchtower by Hendrix ("watchtower" being the key there).

Still, I think it would take six, maybe seven years to get them all.

(9:17) GREAT FIND, IJAG! This is a fun, brutal, tranny mess.
