Despite being reported as a fortuitous accident at the time, the guitar feedback in the song's opening was intentional, and appeared on every take. Mixed to mono on 21 Oct (different mixes used for the U.K. & U.S. singles), and to stereo on 4 Nov. Single released on 27 Nov, backed with "She's a Woman". In keeping with then-differing practices in the U.K. and U.S., both songs were omitted from the Dec 1964 U.K. LP ("Beatles for Sale"), but were included on the Dec 1964 U.S. LP ("Beatles '65"). The EJs & Co.: Written by John Lennon and Paul Cartney. A million-seller from the album "Beatles '65". We had a portable radio We was ballin' the jack But we'd be all back in order When the teacher got back #02) Chuck Berry: "Oh Baby Doll" (1957) [43] {12} She stole my love and now she's gotta pay It's not right for her to run around She took my love and stomped it to the ground, whoooo #03) The Chartbusters: "She's the One" (1964) [38] {n/c} I parked my car and I looked around (Oh, gee, what did you see?) There was a mess of empty beer cans layin' on the ground (Oh, gee, what did you see?) I peeped through the door and my hair turned gray (Oh, gee, what did you see?) In the middle of the floor there was Big Foot Mae #04) The Coasters: "Idol with the Golden Head" (1957) [76] {-} The Coasters (!): The "A" side of "(When She Wants Good Lovin') My Baby Comes To Me", which Chicago Loop recorded as "(When She Needs Good Lovin') She Comes To Me" in 1966 (GOLQ81). They're dead wrong, I know they are 'Cause I can play this here guitar #05) The Drifters: "On Broadway" (1963) [9] {7} The Coasters: Guitar solo by Phil Spector. Joe Haertel: Originally recorded by The Crystals. The EJs & Co.: Written by Cynthia Weil, Barry Mann, Jerry Leiber, and Mike Stoller; produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Phil Spector provides the guitar solo. Also a top-10 hit for George Benson in 1978. Do the five-day drag once more I know of nothing else that bugs me More than working for the rich man #06) The Easybeats: "Friday on My Mind" (1967) [16] {-} Ron Crandall: Produced by Shel Talmy, who also produced #12. Talmy was The Who's (#24) original producer. An Easybeats postage stamp has just been issued in their native Australia. Now it begins Now that you're gone Needles and pins Quiet 'til dawn #07) Miss Toni Fisher: "The Big Hurt" (1959) [3] {16} Curt Miller & Steve Potter: One of the earliest uses of "phase shifting" in a popular song. The EJs & Co.: The first and biggest hit for the Los Angeles vocalist, and the first hit recording to feature an electronic phasing gimmick. Also recorded by Del Shannon in 1966. Here I am all by myself Watching him with someone else Bet he doesn't even know I'm here Wish I could hold back my tears #08) Lesley Gore: "Look of Love" (1964) [27] {n/c} The EJs & Co.: Produced by Quincy Jones. There's a new kinda talk going 'round our school Everybody likes it 'cause it's real real cool Once you get started you just can't stop #09) The Honeycones: "Op" (1958) [69] {-} The Coasters: "Op" was a popular expression used on American Bandstand. In a little cafe just the other side of the border She was just sitting there givin' me looks that made my mouth water #10) Jay & The Americans: "Come a Little Bit Closer" (1964) [3] {n/c} The EJs & Co.: Music and lyrics by Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart, and Wes Farrell. The biggest hit for the quartet. When you're in a crowd, you tend to get shy But people, I know, people, you know I'm your guy When you're at home, just you and me You tear up the Boston Monkey The Philly Dog, the Boogaloo Now, baby, you know and I know what you can do, do, do #11) Syl Johnson: "Come on Sock It to Me" (1967) [97] {12} Who'll be the next to watch your love fade All your affections finally fade away? #12) The Kinks: "Who'll Be the Next in Line" (1965) [34] {-} In Britain, the "B" side of "Ev'rybody's Gonna Be Happy"; in the U.S., vice versa. Why can't we sit in the park like other boys and girls? Why do we have to walk in a subway tunnel? #13) Linda Laurie: "Ambrose (Part Five)" (1959) [52] {-} Mike Weaver: I am hoping that this quiz will evolve an explanation for this "song". I never could figure this out. (AND who was the voice that kept saying "Shut up and keep walkin'"?) I guess I'll shoot my woman, now that's what I'll do I guess I'll shoot 'em both before I'm through #14) The Leaves: "Hey Joe" (1966) [31] {-} Team Asia: Released in 1965; re-released [in a different version] in 1966 as simply "Hey Joe"; and covered by Jimi Hendrix in 1967 as "Hey Joe". The EJs & Co.: Written by Dino Valenti, a former Greenwich Village folkie who moved west to the hippie life in San Francisco where he was a member of Quicksilver Messenger Service. "Hey Joe" also charted with versions by Cher (1967) and Wilson Pickett (1969). Classic renditions were also recorded by Jimi Hendrix, The Byrds, and Love, as well as many other mid-'60s teen garage bands that emulated the Los Angeles-based Leaves rip-roaring fuzz-laden stomper with regional singles and album tracks. Valenti occasionally used the songwriting pseudonym of Chet Powers or Chester A. Powers, but The Leaves' Mira single lists Valenti. I think you disprove you love me You can't prove for sure how the world is round What from, what from your ways and nice charms I have a feeling you have let me down #15) Jimmy McCracklin: "Just Got to Know" (1961) [64] {2} Don't you know, baby That the truth is the light Ask yourself, dear If you're doing me right #16) Clyde McPhatter: "Just to Hold My Hand" (1957) [26] {6} Also released in uncharted competing versions by Paul Perryman (the writer) and Big Boy Myles; IMHO, McPhatter's is the weakest of the three. All the rainbows in the sky Start to weep and say goodbye You won't be seeing rainbows anymore #17) Roy Orbison: "It's Over" (1964) [9] {n/c} The EJs & Co.: Written by Roy Orbison and Bill Dees; produced by Fred Foster. I don't know what I should do 'Cause I've been taught by the golden rule If he wants to be my steady boy Should I-I-I go and play it cool? #18) Christine Quaite: "Tell Me Mamma" (1964) [98] {n/c} The Coasters: Written by Gerry Granahan. Go ahead, pretty baby Honey, knock yourself out, oh Go ahead, pretty baby Honey, knock yourself out I still love you, baby 'Cause I don't know what it's all about #19) Jimmy Reed: "Bright Lights, Big City" (1961) [58] {3} But he can't be a man, 'cause he doesn't smoke The same cigarettes as me #20) The Rolling Stones: "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (1965) [1] {19} The EJs & Co.: Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards; produced by Andrew Loog Oldham. The Stones' first #1 hit and million-seller. The story goes that Keith Richards thought up the song's famous chord progression as he had trouble sleeping in a Clearwater, Florida hotel. Also charted for Otis Redding in 1966. Maybe you may love me too Oh, my darling, if you do Why haven't you told me? #21) Linda Scott: "I've Told Every Little Star" (1961) [3] {22} The Coasters: She was born Linda Joy Sampson and was co-host of the TV show "Where The Action Is". This song was originally from the 1932 Broadway musical "Music In The Air" and was a #10 hit in 1933 for Jack Denny. The EJs & Co.: The first and biggest hit for the Queens, New York, native. I come home from work, you know, I'm tired and I'm beat I try to make some supper but I can't even eat I jump in the shower, wash the world off my back I'm gonna get you, baby, that's a natural fact #22) The Strangeloves: "Night Time" (1966) [30] {-} Now don't you ever make her cry Just let your love surround her Make a rainbow all around her Don't let her see a cloudy sky #23) Bobby Vee: "Take Good Care of My Baby" (1961) [1] {-} Jamie Lubin: Some of these lyrics appear in a current TV commercial for General Electric ultrasound equipment. The EJs & Co.: Produced by Snuff Garrett. Vee's only #1 hit and his first million-seller. Also recorded by Bobby Vinton in 1968. The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal are mine to see on clear days #24) The Who: "I Can See for Miles" (1967) [9] {-} The Crandalls: Produced by Kit Lambert. The Who's highest charting song in America. The EJs & Co.: Written by Pete Townshend; produced by Kit Lambert. The group's only Top 10 recording. Features memorable performances by Keith Moon on drums and Townshend on guitar. I saw her walking out the other day I thought my love for her had gone away Well, I remember how I loved her so (baby, come on home) My solitude tells me she couldn't know #25) The Zombies: "She's Coming Home" (1965) [56] {-} Tie-breakers: Everybody's gettin' hot It's a funky night Make this all a juke box I feel all right And everybody's goin' (Round and round) Yeah, around and around (Round and round) Yeah, around and around (Round and round) Yeah, around and around, yeah (Round and round) They're sittin' on the tables They're lyin' on the ground Baby's in my arms I feel so proud And everybody's goin' (Round and round) Yeah, around and around (Round and round) Yeah, around and around, yeah (Round and round) Yeah, around and around (Round and round) #T1) The Belfast Gypsies: "Gloria's Dream (Round and Around)" (1966) [124] {-} A takeoff of Them's "Gloria", recorded by a group formed by two ex-members of Them. Although the song has been discussed on the oldies newsgroups at least twice, nobody got it. Oh, you'll be a big tycoon Makin' lot of money real soon Makin' lot of money Just you wait, you'll turn that great New York town upside down Oh yeah, oh oh yeah #T2) Shirley Matthews & The Big Town Girls: "Big-Town Boy" (1964) [104] {n/c} Team Asia: One of the best known flops. Though a big hit in Canada and Detroit, this great song never cracked the top 100. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This chart ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized.
