I can hear your name a-ringin' on down the line I can hear your name a-ringin' on down the line I want to know if you love me Or if I waste my time #04) Buster Brown: "Fannie Mae" (1960) [38] {1} Let me love you and you'll see Come to me, come to me Let me show you so we'll be free #05) The Byrds: "It Won't Be Wrong" (1966) [63] {-} Save yourself for somebody new Don't make such a fuss There's no hope for us She won't care the way that you do #06) Kenny Chandler: "Heart" (1963) [64] {-} Written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. She's my sugar and spice Everything nice She's my peaches and cream Candy man's dream #07) The Crew-Cuts: "Gum Drop" (1955) [10] {-} A cover of a record by Otis Williams & The Charms (who usually covered others' records too). Just remember all birds and bees Go by twos through life's mysteries #08) The Crickets: "Think It Over" (1958) [27] {-} Whoa, I found me a new thrill I never found before Oh, my, now I found me a new thrill I never found before When I show you, baby It's gonna thrill me more #09) The Del Vikings featuring Gus Backus: "Cool Shake" (1957) [12] {9} There were many guesses of Fats Domino. Try hard, get barred Get back, write braille Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you fail #10) Bob Dylan: "Subterranean Homesick Blues" (1965) [39] {-} Antonio Torralba: The song was performed by a band that included Stewart Copeland (Police), Chris Difford (Squeeze) [and Nick Lowe, although we could not confirm] in an episode of the 80s British TV Series "The Young Ones". I'm an old man who's all forlorn I wanna see the city where I was born I've got a feeling that I can't stand I wanna go home to my homeland #11) The Easybeats: "St. Louis" (1969) [100] {-} Several guessed "Home To You" by Earth Opera. My mother told me if I was goody That she would buy me a rubber dolly My auntie told her I kissed a soldier Now she won't buy me a rubber dolly #12) Shirley Ellis: "The Clapping Song (Clap Pat Clap Slap)" (1965) [8] {16} Take a look at that deep blue sea, don't you think it looks great? Not a cloud to be seen in the sky, and the sun won't wait I believe that the time is right, don't have to slip away Instead of dreamin' 'bout tomorrow you can live today #13) Georgie Fame & The Blue Flames: "Get Away" (1966) [70] {-} A number one hit in Britain which however meant little in the United States. Idle gossip comes from the devil's workshop But true love will make it stop I want the whole world to know That I love you so #14) Little Willie John: "Let Them Talk" (1960) [100] {11} If I don't start cryin' It's because that I have got no eyes My father's in the fireplace And my dog lies hypnotized #15) Love: "7 And 7 Is" (1966) [33] {-} One entrant wrote: "I cannot wait to see what song these lyrics are from." He don't love her anymore There he goes right out the door He'll be back 'bout half past ten And then she'll start right in again #16) The Mark IV: "I Got A Wife" (1959) [24] {-} And though, even though you're lovely The world is ugly, so come back no more For all that you have to offer There's nothing there to ruin my life for #17) The Merry-Go-Round: "You're A Very Lovely Woman" (1967) [94] {-} One of the world's most haunting ballads, very unlike their first hit "Live" (GOLQ138). But equally good. Now my friends What's gone down behind No more rain From where we came #18) Moby Grape: "Omaha" (1967) [88] {-} Team Asia: A very good group betrayed by over-promotion. Their first five singles were released at the same time and only this one made a dent. The best one was called "8:05." Holy smoke! Land sakes alive! I never thought this could happen to me #19) Elvis Presley: "I Got Stung" (1958) [8] {-} The Coasters: Paul McCartney recorded this song and included it on his most recent CD (released 10/99). He said he recorded the song because he liked the opening lyrics (the ones used on this quiz). I walked into the washroom and I built myself a fire Throw on lots of paper and the flames kept getting higher The janitor come running in, so scared his face was white So I explained my situation, he said "That's all right" #20) Paul Revere & The Raiders featuring Mark: "The Great Airplane Strike" (1966) [20] {-} Perhaps the fuzziest fuzz to be heard on a Top 20 hit. Ron Anderson: Mono version has an "unplug the turntable" ending, but the stereo version fades out. I didn't worry 'bout it when you left I knew that I could take care of myself You wouldn't be gone long And nothin' could go wrong #21) The Searchers: "Someday We're Gonna Love Again" (1964) [34] {-} Originally recorded by Barbara Lewis. I feel inclined to blow my mind Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun They all come out to groove about While I search for fun in the sun #22) The Small Faces: "Itchycoo Park" (1967) [16] {-} Don't try to plan me or understand me I can't stand to be understood I could never give in to or ever live up to Being like you think I should I've got some inner need that I'm tryin' to heed I can't take hand-me-down destiny #23) The Turtles: "Let Me Be" (1965) [29] {-} I felt like a queen and he was my king He borrowed some money to buy me a ring But I'm still alone, the cards are all down He's taken my money and skipped out of town #24) Priscilla Wright, with Don Wright & The Septette: "The Man in the Raincoat" (1955) [16] {-} Love to watch it happen, baby When I dance with you (baby) Love to see the music take you Right up to the mornin' #25) The Young Rascals: "Come On Up" (1966) [43] {-} Tie-Breakers: My love for the world is like always For the world is a part of me That's why I'm so afraid Of the progress that's been made Toward eternity #T1) Ray Charles: "The Danger Zone" (1961) [-] {-} The flip side of "Hit The Road Jack." Written by Percy Mayfield, who also recorded it himself (and who fits alphabetically, to the delight of at least one team). Also a favourite of Finnish proto-beat writer Pentti Saarikoski. I know this town like the palm of my hand, now I've cruised every strip and every hamburger stand, now It really don't matter, baby, what are the scenes #T2) The Survivors: "Pamela Jean" (1964) [-] {-} Brian Wilson and various Beach Boys henchmen, recording a tune borrowed from the Beach Boys' "Car Crazy Cutie". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This chart ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized.
