Matt's name-that-tune meme, mark 2

[dr_whom]

So, occultatio has started a second installment of his name-that-tune meme, and everyone's having such a good time playing that I thought I'd participate in a second go-round as well.

The rules are simple: you get the first few seconds, before any lyrics start, of thirty songs, and you have to identify the songs from just that much introduction.

(The songs are mostly randomly chosen here; I skipped ones that had very uninteresting introductions, or which have already shown up in other installments of this game that I remember. You don't get the whole introduction in all cases; some songs that have long introductions I truncated around thirteen seconds. Only one introduction here is about thirty seconds long.)

1;2;3;4;5
6;7;8;9;10
11;12;13;14;15
16;17;18;19;20
21;22;23;24;25
26;27;28;29;30

Here are some clues for 1, 3, 5, 8, and 20.
1. This one originates on the Internet.
3. Yes, it's quoting what you think it's quoting; it's doing that for a reason.
5. It's a well-known showtune that doesn't have much to do with its musical.
8. Between recognizing the voices and identifying the genre, there's only one song this could be.
20. This is from the same album as one of the songs that's already been identified.

A lot of easy ones here, I think, as it turns out. Have fun! The correct answers that have been given are summarized here.

Update, 3/26. The remaining unguessed answers have been added to the answer list.

Man, I got here way late. Stupid thesis. Ah well, I'm going to play without looking at anybody else's answers.

6. Let It Be - Beatles
7. Change In My Life - Rockapella
11. Chrysanthemum Tea - Pacific Overtures
13. Moments In The Woods - Into The Woods
14. We Want A Rock - They Might Be Giants
17. New Music - Ragtime
18. Don't Tell Mama - Cabaret
19. A Summer In Ohio - Last Five Years
21. She Cries - Songs For A New World
22. New York, New York - Frank Sinatra
25. One Day More - Les Miserables
26. We Dance - Once On This Island (how was this not gotten already?)
29. The Scarlet Pimpernel - The Scarlet Pimpernel
30. Is this Rhapsody in Blue? An a cappella version, even? If so, I WANT A COPY. Please.

Well, 13, maybe 14, ain't bad. Thanks for making this!

Well, hey, at least I pegged two new ones! Man, too bad I got here so late. Also, drawing a distinction between Don't Tell Mama and Cabaret is seriously pointless, because they're basically completely indistinguishable.

In "Cabaret", as you hear, the last measure of the vamp slows down and modulates. In "Don't Tell Mama", the vamp stays exactly the same until it stops to allow the song to begin.

The a cappella Rhapsody in Blue is, as I told tiamat360, super-awesome. I'll e-mail it to you.

...And I'm not too surprised that "We Dance" wasn't gotten for a while. To recognize it, it's not enough to know the song (which a lot of people in the Noteables do), since that intro doesn't sound anything like it. You actually have to know the recording.
