You complain and criticize I feel I'm nothing in your eyes It makes me feel like giving up Because my best just ain't good enough #01) Animals: "Don't Bring Me Down" (1966) [12] {-} IS: It was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. This is one of three different songs called "Don't Bring Me Down" that were done by British Invasion groups in the 1960s and 1970s. One of the other ones was by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), and I think the other one may have been done by the Pretty Things. Go to the store Come back and mop the floors And do your other chores #02) Blenders: "Daughter" (1963) [61] {-} Instead of runnin' around With all the other guys in town Can't you see You're hurtin' me #03) Buckinghams: "Don't You Care" (1967) [6] {-} GT: Despite the English sounding name, this group originated in Chicago. Also had a big hit with "Kind Of A Drag". Oh my darling Come next Sunday We're getting married Just you and I And I can't wait To hear you promise That you'll love me until you die #04) Solomon Burke: "Yes I Do" (1964) [92] {n/c} Sidewalk crouches at her feet Like a dog that begs for something sweet #05) Doors: "Hello, I Love You" (1968) [1] {-} I still remember That summer night We were out driving Everything seemed so right When I lost control Her car turned over #06) Emotions: "Echo" (1962) [76] {-} There isn't anything I wouldn't do I'd pay any price to get in good with you #07) 4 Seasons Featuring the "sound" of Frankie Valli: "Let's Hang On!" (1965) [3] {-} I can't do my homework And I can't think straight I meet him every morning about a half past eight I'm acting like a love sick fool He's even got me carryin' his books to school #08) Connie Francis: "Stupid Cupid" (1958) [14] {-} It's a long long road From which there is no return While we're on the way To there Why not share #09) Hollies: "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother" (1969) [7] {-} JR: I like the story of how whoever wrote this song got the idea to write it--he saw the title phrase on a Boy's Town poster. Did you ever take a walk on a tight rope Did you ever swim the sea or sail the ocean Did you ever find a girl and find hope #10) Ides Of March: "Roller Coaster" (1966) [92] {-} Written by band member Jim Peterik, a Byrds-influenced rocker. Not surprisingly, several teams wrongly guessed "Did You Ever" by the Hullaballoos. Girl it's gettin' late You got no time to wait But if you hesitate I know that you'll be sorry #11) Tommy James & the Shondells: "Get Out Now" (1968) [48] {-} Better hurry up And put my tie on Better hurry up It's almost time #12) Jive Five (featuring Eugene Pitt): "What Time is It?" (1961) [67] {-} Your mind was filled with the thoughts of a certain someone That you love Your life is filled with joy when she is there #13) Mercy: "Love (Can Make You Happy)" (1969) [2] {-} I never will forget the way you kiss me And when we're not together I wonder if you miss me Cause I hope and pray the day will come When you belong to me Then I'm gonna prove to you how true my love can be #14) Ricky Nelson: "Never Be Anyone Else But You" (1959) [6] {-} Oh you know you're such a beautiful thing You're laying kisses on me girl And you're knowin' all the pleasure it brings You're spending all of my money Oh you're making me crawl up the wall #15) Ohio Express: "Mercy" (1969) [30] {-} It makes me glow so much It casts a spell It rings a bell #16) Platters: "(You've Got) The Magic Touch" (1956) [4] {4} Because we're children of Adam and Eve I got a girl and she wants a lot of love That's the kind of trouble I need plenty of #17) Elvis Presley: "Kissin' Cousins" (1964) [12] {-} From the Elvis movie and album Kissin' Cousins. Marryin' now Struggle by anyway, anyhow Living in misery Is that how you want it to be? #18) Royal Guardsmen: "Baby, Let's Wait" (1965) [35] {-} I love her so I'll never let her go She's true to me So true to me Where will I go If she should know I was untrue Oh so untrue Maybe she'll forget me #19) Jack Scott: "Oh, Little One" (1960) [34] {-} IMHO this song is far superior to the flip side, "Burning Bridges", which was much more successful, reaching chart position #3. I've got sunshine On a cloudy day #20) Temptations: "My Girl" (1965) [1] {1} Woman tell me where did you learn To make a man feel like a king When all the time he knows That he hasn't got a thing Stick by my side, baby And there's no limit to what I can do #21) Joe Tex: "A Sweet Woman Like You" (1965) [29] {1} Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves begin to die That means he's lost the will to live #22) B.J. Thomas & the Triumphs: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" (1966) [8] {-} Written by Hank Williams in 1949. Johnny Tillotson was also an acceptable answer since it fits alphabetically. Once you were our song of love Now you just keep taunting me With the memory of His-a tender love #23) Sarah Vaughan: "Broken-Hearted Melody" (1959) [7] {5} Number one, I never cared much for him Number two, he's no longer my best friend Number three, I've gotta keep her love from them #24) Bobby Vee: "Hickory, Dick And Doc" (1964) [63] {-} Guys talk Girl talk It happens everywhere Eyes watch Girls walk With tender loving care #25) Andy Williams: "Music To Watch Girls By" (1967) [34] {-} Margaret Thomas (L'Equipe): The instrumental was bad enough! 8*) ----------------------- T I E - B R E A K E R S ----------------------- You're not going to fight a war You're only going out with the boy next door When you put your head on my chest You get lipstick on my vest You may think that you look cute I don't think it's funny when you ruin my suit #T1) Brooks Brothers: "Warpaint" (1961) [-] {-} Co-written and recorded by Barry Mann. Some entrants listed the artist as Brook Brothers, but the original (?) 45 that I have credits the Brooks Brothers. Several entrants listed the artist as Rodney & the Blazers and were given full credit. I'm not familiar with their version, although I found a reference to it that mentions it came out in 1960, before the Brooks Brothers version. I don't know why I'm shy When she's around But I know when she leaves My head hangs down Is it her looks, her ways That makes me care I always seem to see her everywhere #T2) Gants: "I Wonder" (1967) [-] {-} Written by band member Sid Herring. The Gants were a quartet from Greenwood, Mississippi. This is a superb Beatles-esque song, which unfortunately no one was able to identify. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

I'd have been surprised if anyone missed it! I thought that "Warpaint" was fairly obscure, but surprisingly many teams identified it. I also thought that both "Kissin' Cousins" and "Music To Watch Girls By" would have ranked lower. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry Silk
