For a character who would use song lyrics as a verbal component for spells - what song lyrics would best fit each spell on the Sorcerer, Bard, and Oracle lists? For example, when casting Scrying, the character would rattle off a few lines of "Every Breath You Take", or might sing "Beast of Burden" while casting Ant Haul. Probably "Thriller" for Animate Dead. Maybe "24k Magic" for Blood Money?
Any other ideas?
Also: What spell would present the best opportunity to Rickroll people?

Shadow Walk: Enter Sandman.
«Exit, light
Enter, night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land»
Clone? Simulacrum?- Replica (Sonata Arctica)
«Nothing's what it seems to be,
I'm a replica, I'm a replica
Empty shell inside of me
I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me»
Marionette Possession? Dominate Person/Monster?: Master of Puppets.
«Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master»

And, of course, this is the song for any sleep spell xD
«Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me
You can sleep safe and sound
Knowing I am around
Slip into silent slumber
Sail on a silver mist
Slowly and surely your senses
Will cease to resist
Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me»
From the Jungle Book.

The Plagues is good for many spells.
"I send a pestilence and plague
Into your house, into your bed..."
That's just the kind of all-consuming horror that suits Plague Storm. Keep going through the verse (streams, streets, drink, bread, cattle, fields, until you break etc) as you cast it multiple times for different diseases.
"I send the swarm, I send the horde
Thus saith the Lord"
That could be a Divine caster using Summon Swarm or similar.
"I send the thunder from the sky
I send the fire raining down"
Anyone order a Storm of Vengeance?
"I send a hail of burning ice
On ev'ry field, on ev'ry town"
I'm thinking an Elemental Spell (Fire) Ice Storm.
"I send the locusts on a wind
Such as the world has never seen
On ev'ry leaf, on ev'ry stalk
Until there's nothing left of green"
Insect Plague, of course. Just ask if you can replace wasps with locusts.
"I send my scourge, I send my sword
Thus saith the Lord!"
Spiritual Weapon, baby!
This might be cheating, because Moses is an actual divine caster, but I think it works. The non-spell bits of the song are just him singing a Dirge of Doom with his free action, because I haven't rammed home my idea about a Cleric/Bard hybrid class enough yet.
