Sometimes in the mornin' When shadows are deep I lie here beside you Just watching you sleep #01) Ed Ames: "My Cup Runneth Over" (1967) [8] {-} JR: By Tom Jones (not *that* Tom Jones) and Harvey Schmidt, from their stage musical "I Do! I Do!". Same guys who wrote "Try To Remember", which turned up in a past quiz. Please make him care If he would love me I'd be in heaven above Heaven above Each time I hear the church bells chime I dream I'm his and he is mine #02) Annette: "O Dio Mio" (1960) [10] {-} Her only other top ten hit was "Tall Paul". The squaw didn't like 'em at all #03) Beach Boys: "Ten Little Indians" (1962) [49] {-} From their album "Surfin' Safari". Things I want, I can't afford 'em Nothing in this house but boredom Magazines are torn and tattered Running out of reading matter I've got to run outside and see what's happenin' #04) Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart: "Out & About" (1967) [39] {-} Rick Schubert remembers that Boyce and Hart performed this song on an episode of "I Dream of Genie." And this is the end They say you really mean it This guy's the one that makes you feel so safe, so sane and so secure #05) Brooklyn Bridge: "Worst That Could Happen" (1968) [3] {-} Lead vocalist Johnny Maestro was formerly with the Crests. MG: Original version was by the Fifth Dimension. You're the apple of my eye You're cherry pie And oh you're, you're cake and ice cream You're sugar and spice And everything nice You're the girl of my-my-my-my dreams #06) Sam Cooke: "Nothing Can Change This Love" (1962) [12] {2} Watch the way he shuffles his feet #07) Crystals: "He's A Rebel" (1962) [1] {2} Their biggest hit and only number one charter. And never mind what they say Never mind what they do Tra la la la la la You know that I love you Tra la la la la la You know that I love you #08) Delfonics: "I'm Sorry" (1968) [42] {15} Vocal group from Philadelphia. This was a fairly big hit in Philly, peaking at #9 on WFIL's radio survey of June 3, 1968. I'm feeling stronger than a grizzly bear Soaring like an eagle flyin' through the air When I get you in my arms you better beware I go insane 'cause I can't be tamed #09) Fabian: "Tiger" (1959) [3] {15} A Philly artist who was discovered for his good looks rather than any singing ability. All through this long and sleepless night I hear my neighbors talking (she don't love me) Saying that out of my life into another's arms You'll soon be walking #10) Four Tops: "Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over)" (1966) [18] {5} We're gonna grab a bite at the pizza stand Write love letters in the sand #11) Connie Francis: "Vacation" (1962) [9] {-} This was Connie's last top ten hit. I'd give you each day So sunny and blue If you wanted the moonlight I'd give you that too #12) Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell: "If This World Were Mine" (1968) [68] {27} Flip side of "If I Could Build My Whole World Around You". You are the one that-a drives me crazy You never say yes or no but only maybe I ask you if you love me and here's what you say Come again and ask me some other day #13) Dale Hawkins: "La-Do-Dada" (1958) [32] {-} She's not the kind of girl to be late for But this girl I'd break any date for I won't have to ask what she's late for She'd never leave me flat She's not a girl like that #14) Herman's Hermits: "Leaning On The Lamp Post" (1966) [9] {-} From the movie "Hold On!" starring Herman's Hermits. JR: I think this is from the stage musical "Me And My Girl". If it is I think it's written by Noel Gay. [Barry: Strange, the original 45 does not provide credit for an author.] You say you're coming home Yet you never phone Leave me all alone My love is strong for you I'd do wrong for you #15) Brenda Holloway: "Every Little Bit Hurts" (1964) [13] {NC} This was Brenda's first and highest charted hit. She looks into my eyes We both are hypnotized She puts her hand in mine Great sugar chills are running down my spine My baby's kisses are jet propelled #16) Sonny James: "Um-Huh--mm" (1957) [92] {-} This recording is an Elvis Presley soundalike. Sittin' in a native hut all alone and blue Sittin' in a native hut wondering what to do #17) Little Anthony & the Imperials: "Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop" (1959) [24] {14} You tell me that you love me But I don't think it's true 'Cause I can tell by the way you act By the evil things you do That you wanna make me live my life in pain That's what you want me to do #18) Miracles: "Ain't It Baby" (1961) [49] {15} Seven-A What number is this, Chip? SEVEN-A Okay now, I mean, don't get excited man It's 'cause I'm short, I know #19) Monkees: "Daydream Believer" (1967) [1] {-} RC: "Chip" is producer Chip Douglas. TC: This was a second version of the song that was not widely known... this was actually spoken words between Davy Jones and Mike Nesmith... the last line should actually be "it's cause I'm a sure winner"... I know this from my radio DJ days in Washington DC. In every toast of wine There's a toast for you #20) Pips: "Every Bit Of My Heart" (1961) [6] {1} Written by Johnny Otis. Was originally released on the Huntom label and sold to Vee-Jay. It was re-recorded for the Fury label and released as by Gladys Knight & the Pips. The name "Pips" is attributed to their manager, cousin James "Pip" Woods. This was their first charted hit. In 1967, they started to record for the Motown label. She looks real good in the record books I hold the track record in the quarter mile With a low E.T. down the asphalt aisle #21) Rip Chords: "Three Window Coupe" (1964) [28] {-} Co-written by Jan Berry (of Jan & Dean). Can anyone tell me what E.T. stands for? She would never say where she came from Yesterday don't matter if it's gone #22) Rolling Stones: "Ruby Tuesday" (1967) [1] {-} We'll share the joy Falling in love can bring No one can tell me that I'm young to know I love you so And you love me #23) Ruby & the Romantics: "Our Day Will Come" (1963) [1] {1} Their first hit on the charts and only number one hit.

Susan was a British artist whose version of "Bobby's Girl" was a big hit in the UK. The world ain't gonna stand still Though you might think it will Please don't linger too long Tomorrow might be gone Decisions I'll have to make But that's the chance you've got to take Don't leave me out on a limb Girl, we've got to sink or swim #T2) Outsiders: "I'll Give You Time (To Think It Over)" (1967) [118] {-} ----------------------- This chart ranks the songs from most recognized to the least recognized. The second number on the line denotes the average number of points scored on that song (total points divided by the number of entrants, to 1 decimal place). For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 0-20 point scale. Rank Avg.

Although "Daydream Believer" was a number one song, I was surprised so many teams were able to identify it from the spoken word exchange that occurs before the music starts. These "lyrics" are on the original 45, but I've never heard it on the air. I have a feeling that #16 and #18 would have gone virtually unidentified if it weren't for the theme. Song #08 was a top ten hit in Philly, and I expected it to rank much higher. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry Silk
