Judy Garland's, "The Trolley Song"
The Lyrics:
Clang clang clang went the trolley!
Ding ding ding went the bell!

Covered by many other artists, this song evokes the mood of riding an old trolley car at the turn of the century in America.

Judy Garland's, "Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart"
The Lyrics:
Zing went the strings of my heart.
Why:
"Zing" represents the sound a stringed instrument (perhaps a harp or violin) when its strings are struck by hand. Although it would be literally impossible for a heart's strings to make that noise. :)
