Default i want to use songs in teaching grammar

I want to use some songs in teaching some grammar points. However, I have met difficulty in some point like SUGGEST + verb_ing and Relative clause. I don't know how to use the song to lead in to the lesson naturally. I would be grateful if someone could help me with useful materials and suggestions. Thank a lot!!

Additionally, here's a site with songs and lyrics. The lyrics you will find on that site can be cut up into strips which then need to be reconstructed as the song unfolds. Alternatively, each student is given a strip to memorise beforehand and the students then work among themselves to 'physically' rebuild the song.
