They did backup work for Major Lance. I was livin' like half a man And I couldn't love but now I can You pick me up when I'm feeling sad More soul than I ever had Gonna love you every single night 'Cause I think you're real outta sight #02) Beach Boys: "Darlin'" (1967) [12] {-} EJ's: Also charted for Paul Davis Featuring Susan Collins (1978) and Yipes!! (1980). Beamer: Covered by Leo Sayer in 1983. And when I touch you I feel happy inside It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide I can't hide I can't hide #03) Beatles: "I Want To Hold Your Hand" (1964) [1] {-} EJ's: Written by John Lennon & Paul McCartney. The first Beatles hit, a #1 song for seven weeks, and a million-seller. Weeks before it was officially released by Capitol Records, a demo copy was slipped to Carroll Baker, a disc jockey at WWDC, Washington, DC, who played it, and interest built. The song was released the day after Christmas 1963; Jack Paar showed a clip of the group on his NBC-TV show January 3, 1964; on January 18, the song debuted on the Billboard chart at #45; a week later it had skyrocketed to #3; and on February 1, it knocked Bobby Vinton's "There! I've Said It Again" out of the #1 spot, and the rest is history! It was the #1 song of 1964, the first British recording to be the highest ranked song of the year in the rock era. From the album "Meet The Beatles." Only one other group had a version make the Hot 100, an unlikely one at that: an instrumental by the Boston Pops Orchestra/Arthur Fiedler (their only appearance on the pop chart since a 1951 recording of Leroy Anderson's "Syncopated Clock"). Howard Teitelbaum: Recorded 17 Oct 1963, in 17 takes; their first session with the new 4-track recorder replacing the earlier 2-track system. Released as a single in the UK on 29 November, backed with "This Boy." The U.S. single (backed with "I Saw Her Standing There"), was the first to break through here, holding the #1 position for 7 weeks. On 29 January 1964, during a French concert tour, they recorded a German- language version as "Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand," at the request of Odeon, EMI's German affiliate. Because the vocals were isolated on the original 4-track, they were able to re-use the original instrumental tracks, overdubbing new vocals and handclaps. The city lights The pretty lights They can warm the coldest nights #04) Box Tops: "Neon Rainbow" (1967) [24] {-} The Box Tops formed in Memphis in 1966. Out of the night When the full moon is bright Comes the horseman #05) Chordettes: "Zorro" (1959) [27] {-} EJ's: Theme from the Disney TV series. Backed by Archie Bleyer's orchestra. He makes the sign of the "Z"! I can hear the bullfrog callin' me Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree #06) Creedence Clearwater Revival: "Green River" (1969) [2] {-} EJ's: Written, produced, and arranged by John Fogerty. A million- seller, the title song from the album "Green River." And then it happened It took me by surprise I knew that you felt it too By the look in your eyes #07) Drifters: "This Magic Moment" (1960) [16] {4} EJ's: Written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman; produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Ben E. King is the lead vocalist. Jay & The Americans had their last Top 10 success with the song in 1969. The curtain goes up The scene is a broken heart You told me you loved me A grand opening start You read your line so perfectly Like the words came straight from your heart And I believed you #08) Fantastic Four: "The Whole World Is A Stage" (1967) [63] {6} The Fantastic Four formed in Detroit in 1955. If you're lucky enough to have someone who loves you Then be glad that you've got someone who loves you 'Cause lips that were warm can grow cool #09) Five Keys: "Wisdom Of A Fool" (1956) [35] {-} The Five Keys were from Newport News, Virginia. No one intrudes on my privacy To me it's a most wonderful place #10) Five Stairsteps: "World Of Fantasy" (1966) [49] {12} I'm not sorry I still think we're better apart She's says she's gonna see A day when there's gonna be A change of heart #11) Herman's Hermits: "I Can Take Or Leave Your Loving" (1968) [22] {-} Oh-oh we could be on a desert Lost without a place to go And we're so in love In love with each other That we wouldn't even know #12) Intruders: "Together" (1967) [48] {9} Tom O'Connor: Top 40 remake by a one-hit wonder group, Tierra (1980). Her eyes would make an angel smile ... She'll take a man and drive him wild ... And one day I'm gonna make her mine It's gonna be so fine You wait and see (ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo) It's gonna be (ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo) #13) Jay & the Americans: "Sunday And Me" (1965) [18] {-} Regina (Gypsy's Caravan): This was the first song written by Neil Diamond to ever reach the Billboard Top 40 and possibly the Billboard Hot 100. Your arms reach out to me And my heart is free From all care For it knows There are cold ruby skies When seen through the eyes Of those who are blessed with love #14) Lettermen: "Theme From 'A Summer Place'" (1965) [16] {-} Jamie Lubin: Percy Faith & His Orchestra's instrumental version was #1 for 9 weeks. Love was the game Fool was my name I thought you'd know wrong from right But you ran to his arms tonight #15) Magic Lanterns: "Shame, Shame" (1968) [29] {-} The Magic Lanterns were a rock quintet from Lancashire, England. Aah-ooh I love to kiss her Love to hold her Love to miss her Love to scold her Love to love her like I do #16) Ohio Express: "Chewy Chewy" (1968) [15] {-} EJ's: Written by Joey Levine, who also sang lead for the bubblegum group from Mansfield, Ohio. It was a million-seller, the group's second and last single to make the Top 20 (the other was "Yummy Yummy Yummy"). Foolin' Were you foolin' When you said "I love you so my dear" Were you deceivin', make believin' Pretending that you loved me from the start Gee I hope it isn't so It would break my heart to know #17) Quaker City Boys: "Teasin'" (1958) [39] {-} Tommy Reilly was the leader of this string band from Philadelphia. Just got off from work It was awful late I had to pass the cemetery gate The sky was dark and the moon was bright It was a very very cold cold night I never thought I could see such a sight #18) Revels: "Midnight Stroll" (1959) [35] {20} Several entrants mentioned this was originally released as "Dead Man's Stroll". The tide will rise And waves of love Will sweep into your heart If that's the way It's meant to be We'll never never part #19) Ruby & the Romantics: "My Summer Love" (1963) [16] {-} Her weapons were her crystal eyes Making every man mad Black as a dark night she was Got what no one else had #20) Shocking Blue: "Venus" (1969) [1] {-} EJ's: The first and biggest hit for the rock quartet from the Netherlands, their only #1 song and a million-seller. The British pop-rock trio Bananarama also had a #1 hit with it in 1986. Beamer: Big hit again for Bananarama; made #8 in the U.K. in July, 1986. I know it's cold outside Come on in I'll keep you satisfied All you've got to do is move (oh, yeah) Every time you feel the groove #21) Show Stoppers: "Ain't Nothin' But A House Party" (1968) [87] {-} The Show Stoppers were an R&B quartet of two sets of brothers from Philadelphia.

The 3rd number on the line denotes the average number of points scored on that song (total points divided by number of entrants, to 1 decimal place). For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale.

Overall, I was disappointed that most teams scored much lower than usual. Despite the difficulty of this quiz, each song was identified by at least four different teams. ______________________________________________________________________________ Barry Silk
