Gah, almost forgot this one:

Team 1

Now some men like the fishing and some men like the fowling
And some men like to hear, to hear the cannonball a-roaring
Me, I like sleeping, especially in my Molly’s chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah

– Metallica, “Whiskey In The Jar”

(As a reinterpretation of Thin Lizzy’s version)

Team 1:

How about:

Popolo di Pekino! La legge è questa:
Turandot la Pura sposa sarà di chi, di sangue regio,
spieghi i tre enigmi ch’ella proporrà.
Ma chi affronta il cimento e vinto resta porga alla scure la superba testa!

by Giacomo Puccini.

if we’re not allowed to use ‘classical’ music, how about:

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

Black Betty had a child (Bam-ba-Lam)
The damn thing gone wild (Bam-ba-Lam)

by Ram Jam

(now how’s that for eclectic taste?)
