5. "There's drinks and girls all over London."

Answer: My Fair Lady

From "Get Me To the Church On Time." Alfred Doolittle, who sings this and "With a Little Bit of Luck," has pretty much always got a little too much in his system. In this song, he goes out and parties before his wedding.

Answer: Rent
