This was the closing theme song used by the immortal Alan Freed, the Cleveland and New York disc jockey who first popularized the phrase "rock and roll." Several people guessed Paul Anka, who, unbeknownst to me, released a version of this song in 1969. Since it fits alphabetically, full credit was given.] There's somethin' happenin' here What it is ain't exactly clear #02) "For What it's Worth (Stop, Hey What's that Sound)" -- The Buffalo Springfield (1967) In love's smoldering ember One spark may remain If love still can remember The spark may burn again #03) "Once in Awhile" -- The Chimes (1960/1961) [An old chestnut, frequently recorded. Steve Levine cited a 1940's recording of this song by Martha Raye, presumably predating her lucrative career as a denture adhesive spokesperson.] Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty #04) "Downtown" -- Petula Clark (1965) Ribbons from her hair Souvenirs of days together The ring she used to wear Pages from an old love letter #05) "Traces" -- The Classics IV featuring Dennis Yost (1969) I saw her sitting in the rain Raindrops falling on her #06) "The Rain, the Park & Other Things" -- The Cowsills (1967/1968) Don't believe all those lies Darling, just believe your eyes #07) "My Heart Is an Open Book" -- Carl Dobkins, Jr. (1959) See the pyramids along the Nile #08) "You Belong to Me" -- The Duprees (1962) [Many people pointed out that this was originally a big hit for Jo Stafford, in 1952.] I've gotta stand tall You know a man can't crawl #09) "Cathy's Clown" -- The Everly Brothers (1960) You tell me lies that should be obvious to me But I'm so much in love with you baby That I don't want to see #10) "Ain't that Peculiar" -- Marvin Gaye (1965) She's six-foot high And one-foot thick #11) "Skinny Minnie" -- Bill Haley & His Comets (1958) [Their last chart entry (not counting subsequent re-releases of "Rock Around the Clock"), peaking at #22.] Then the busy years went rushing by us We lost our starry notions on the way #12) "Those Were the Days" -- Mary Hopkin (1968/1969) [Based on an old Russian folk tune. This recording was produced by Paul McCartney - not surprising, since Hopkin was one of the first artists on The Beatles' Apple label. McCartney also wrote "Goodbye," a later (and lesser) hit for her. One point off for writing "Hopkins."] But I was young and didn't understand But now I'm a grown-up man #13) "Cowboys to Girls" -- The Intruders (1968) [Only two entrants got this one. It was a fairly big hit, peaking at #6.] I can see all the folks They're laughin' at me 'Cause I'm just naturally crazy #14) "Bad Boy" -- The Jive Bombers (1957) [Some people who got this song questioned whether it broke the Top 100. In fact, it hit #36. I think there was a cover of this song by Mink deVille in the early '80's; can anybody verify this?] The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same You're not to blame #15) "Walk Away Renee" -- The Left Banke (1966) Don't be concerned It will not harm you #16) "Elusive Butterfly" -- Bob Lind (1966) Who was that man? I'd like to shake his hand He made my baby fall in love with me #17) "Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)" -- Barry Mann (1961) [I thought this would be one of the toughest ones, but almost everyone got at least the title.] Try to get yourself a bargain, son Don't be sold on the very first one #18) "Shop Around" -- The Miracles (1960/1961) [Paul Gosse mentioned a 1970's cover version by (ugh!) The Captain and Tenille.] 'Cause I need you I'll treat you right Come with me baby Be mine tonight #19) "Oh, Pretty Woman" -- Roy Orbison [with the Candymen] (1964) [Two points off for omitting the "Oh,", a common mistake.] Seventeen A beauty queen She made a ride That caused a scene in the town #20) "Lady Godiva" -- Peter & Gordon (1966/1967) I told everybody that I'd win your heart They said that we would fall apart Today you said you love just me Now I'm as happy as I can be #21) "It Happened Today" -- The Skyliners (1959) [My sister was the only one to get this one. Guess I played this record a lot when I was a kid :-)] No longer can I walk these paths For they have changed I must be on, the sun is gone And I think it's gonna rain #22) "Sunday Will Never Be the Same" -- Spanky & Our Gang (1967) If I should call you up, invest a dime And you'd say you belong to me, and ease my mind #23) "Happy Together" -- The Turtles (1967) [Just about everyone got this one. Irish noted that "Flo & Eddie" (Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman of The Turtles) have an afternoon show on New York City's WXRK (a.k.a. "K-Rock," at 92.3 MHz).] After I had known you for what seems like a long, long time I wanted, wanted to ask you would you please, please be mine #24) "You Beat Me to the Punch" -- Mary Wells (1962) [Written by Smokey Robinson. As with #13, this question proved harder than I thought, with only two correct answers.] How do I know Maybe you're trying to use me Flying too high can confuse me Touch me but don't take me down #25) "How Can I Be Sure" -- The Young Rascals (1967) ############################################################################# Look for Quiz #11 which will be posted within 24 hours.
