It took me so-oo long to find out And I found out #01) Beatles: "Day Tripper" (1965) [3] {-} HT: Recorded 16 October 1965, mixed on 29 Oct, and released as a single on 3 December, paired with "We Can Work it Out." In the UK, it didn't appear on an LP until December 1966's "A Collection of Beatle Oldies," whereas in the States, it was on the June 1966 LP "'Yesterday' ... and Today." Say man, they tell me you think you're pretty good Don't you know you're in my neighborhood? They tell me you're pretty fast on your feet So I want you to meet me at the dance hall on Market Street You hear? #02) Archie Bell & the Drells: "(There's Gonna Be A) Showdown" (1968) [21] {6} JO: Written (and produced?) by Gamble & Huff. Drive-in movies every night Stayin' out 'til half-past one Sleepin' late and livin' right now #03) Bruce & Terry: "Summer Means Fun" (1964) [72] {-} Written by Phil Sloan and Steve Barri. RR: Bruce was soon-to-be Beach Boy Bruce Johnston and Terry was Terry Melcher, the son of Doris Day. It's wrong to say I don't think of you 'Cause when you say these things You know it makes me blue #04) Dave Clark Five: "Because" (1964) [3] {-} JR: Mentioned in an episode of Due South, of all things. JO: The DC5's most popular record in Mexico... but I can't stand it, really. The curtain's up and your audience is way down thereNow walk on stage, boy, like you don't have a careAnd don't let 'em know that you're feeling so lowSince your girl put you downYou're a sad hearted clown #05) Tony Clarke: "The Entertainer" (1965) [31] {10} This was Clarke's only top 40 hit. Soul singer and songwriter Clarke died in 1970. I love him with all my heart And I want him to know That I can't live without him Won't you tell him so #06) Dixie Cups: "Little Bell" (1964/65) [51] {n/c} From Billboard, 19 December 1964: "The femmes have a chart streak going and their newest offering should keep it intact? a pleasing, easy beat cha-cha thumper that they carve out with telling teen effect." Can't you see that I am not afraid? What was that promise that you made? #07) Doors: "Touch Me" (1968/69) [3] {-} The Doors' last top 10 hit. Your other love (your other love) Thinks he's so smart One day you'll see (one day you'll see) He'll break your heart So play it smart I'm telling you I want you only I'm so lonely #08) Four-Evers: "Be My Girl" (1964) [75] {-} The Four-Evers were a 4 Seasons sound-alike group from Brooklyn, NY. "Be My Girl" was first released as "Please Be Mine". Written by Bob Gaudio and arranged by Charles Calello, both of the 4 Seasons. Don't tell me about all the good times I'm missing Nothing's good as the time when we're loving and kissing I'm happy right here, yeah Where every night he holds me near #09) Lesley Gore: "My Town, My Guy And Me" (1965) [32] {-} The first A-side to bear Lesley Gore's name as writer. Co-written by Paul Kaufmann and Bobby Elgin. About this song, Lesley comments: "We had our hands slapped for saying Frisco instead of San Francisco. We discovered that people who lived in San Francisco don't like to hear their town referred to as Frisco. That was interesting -- they wouldn't play it in San Francisco as a result." [Quoted from liner notes of Lesley Gore's CD Box Set] If you give me just a little while I'll turn each teardrop to a smile He promised happiness But he left you loneliness What makes you hurt inside True love or injured pride? #10) Tom Jones: "Little Lonely One" (1965) [42] {-} The only top 100 hit by Jones recorded on the Tower record label. All of Jones' other charted hits were recorded on the Parrot label. The Jarmels and Gary Stites each had uncharted versions of this song, both released in 1961. Sorry, no credit was given for specifying Jarmels as the artist although it fits alphabetically -- since it didn't chart. Carefree, kissin' couples Dream away all their troubles #11) Gary Lewis and The Playboys: "Green Grass" (1966) [8] {-} JO: Written by England's Roger Greenaway & Roger Cook (a/k/a "David & Jonathan") I would have liked you anyway If you had just looked once or twice And gone upon your quiet way #12) Lovin' Spoonful: "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice" (1965/66) [10] {-} Written by John Sebastian (lead vocals) and Steve Boone (bass) of the Lovin' Spoonful. Ever since he touched my hand I knew That near him I always must be And nothing can keep him from me He is my destiny #13) Little Peggy March: "I Will Follow Him" (1963) [1] {1} I saw Peggy March perform on 5 June at the Westbury Music Fair in Long Island, NY. She still has a great voice. Only two of her charted hits were included her repertoire: "Hello Heartaches, Goodbye Love" and this one, of course. JO: Originally the French song "Chariot". The first hit version in Mexico was by Petula Clark, some months earlier (late 1962). Don't take a train coming down the track Don't, please don't, don't leave me Don't leave me in misery #14) Clyde McPhatter: "Lover Please" (1962) [7] {-} JO: Written by Billy ("I Can Help") Swan JR: Not quite as good as 'A Lover's Question' (for one thing it doesn't have that great opening, a cappella against a single bass) but still pretty cool. For it's a world where love and confusion reign A world of hope and laughter and tears and pain At times a gentle breeze then a hurricane A world full of doubt But love works it out #15) Ricky Nelson: "Young Emotions" (1960) [12] {28} Written by Jerry Livingston and Mack David. You threw me out the night before last Now you want me back in your arms again You think I'm a fool, you treat me like dirt You pull the strings and hope I will be your friend But I know what's on your mind So I'd rather stay out in the street without a dime #16) Ohio Express: "Beg, Borrow And Steal" (1967) [29] {-} This was originally released in 1966 credited to the Rare Breed on the Attack record label. It was subsequently reissued and credited to the Ohio Express on the Cameo label. I'm also familiar with a 1967 version by the Demotrons on Cameo. Oh, baby, it's the dance made-a for romance #17) Orlons: "The Wah Watusi" (1962) [2] {5} JO: Made for romance? Was the wah-watusi something like the lambada? ;-) A big hit in Mexico City in 1962. With a dollar's worth of beans A new pair of jeans Got a woman to cook and wash And things #18) Fess Parker: "Wringle Wrangle" (1957) [12] {-} From the Disney movie, "Westward Ho The Wagons!" starring Parker. Another version was released at the same time by Bill Hayes. TA: He was the only Top 100 artist I know about who sang wearing a coonskin hat. All you do is-a give a sigh And beat around the bush Can it be that you're too shy To give yourself a little old push? Can you or can't you tell me yes? #19) Elvis Presley with the Jordanaires: "(Such An) Easy Question" (1965) [11] {-} From the Presley movie soundtrack "Tickle Me". It starts out with a kiss Even though you're only friends Now there's nothing wrong with this But this is where his act begins #20) Gary Puckett & the Union Gap: "Don't Give In To Him" (1969) [15] {-} Group named after the town of Union Gap, Washington. Love is so easy to play But so hard to win You're still a young man Your heart will grow again Little kiss from her sweet gentle lips Gentle touch from her soft fingertips It takes more than one tear to mend a broken heart #21) Righteous Brothers: "Go Ahead And Cry" (1966) [30] {-} Last top 40 song for the Righteous Brothers in the sixties. They didn't hit the top 40 again until 1974 with "Rock And Roll Heaven", which reached #3. Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet But only for one night with no repeat #22) Smokey Robinson & the Miracles: "I Second That Emotion" (1967/68) [4] {1} Co-written and co-produced by Smokey Robinson and Al Cleveland. Dip dip dip dip dip dip dip do Sha na na na Sha na na na na Baa do Sha na na na Sha na na na na Baa do Sha na na na Sha na na na na Baa do Sha na na na Sha na na na na Oh dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip Boom boom boom boom boom boom #23) Silhouettes: "Get A Job" (1958) [1] {1} TA: This song almost made Dick Clark get another job when he was accused of payola over it. OT: Probably some of the most recognizable set of "nonsense" lyrics of all time (IMHO). All day long I hear my telephone ring Friends calling giving their advice From the boy I love I should break away 'Cause heartaches he'll bring one day #24) Supremes: "Back in My Arms Again" (1965) [1] {1} JO: Their fifth consecutive #1 hit. And let me try With pleasured hands To take you in the sun to Promised lands #25) Zombies: "Time Of The Season" (1969) [3] {-} CO: Recorded in 1967. Written by Rod Argent. OT: Currently being discussed in the Oldies NGs as possibly the most inappropriate use of an oldies tune in a TV commercial; being used to pitch a feminine hygiene product. JO: Wonderful song but... are they really using it in a Tampax commercial?! ------------- Tie-breakers: ------------- I'm on the warpath Betcha that I am But when the moon is bright Just tiptoe to my little teepee I'll be there at nine tonight #T1) Annette with the Up Beats: "Indian Giver" (1961) [-] {-} Co-written by Aaron Schroeder, who also wrote "Stuck On You", "I Got Stung", "Good Luck Charm", "Honolulu Lulu" and many others. Today, everything you want I swear, it all will come true Today, I realize how much I'm in love with you With you standing here I can tell the world what it means to love To go on from here I can't use words that don't say enough Please, please, listen to me, it's taken so long to come true It's all for you, all for you #T2) Jefferson Airplane: "Today" (1967) [-] {-} RR: From the album "Surrealistic Pillow." Written by Marty Balin and Paul Kantner. _________________________________________________________________________ This chart ranks the songs from most recognized to the least recognized.
