Featured in the movie "A Hard Day's Night," and on both the U.K. and U.S. versions of the LP of the same name. In the U.S., it also appeared on a single (as the B-side to "I'll Cry Instead"), and on the "Something New" LP. Don't you know that my love is true? Can't you see you belong to me? Every beat of my heart keeps repeating the sound of your name You're in my dreams, but my dreams are always in vain #02) The Bermudas: "Donnie" (1964) [62] {n/c} A Los Angeles trio featuring Ricki Page, wife of George Motola, who produced The Shields' "You Cheated" and also wrote "Goodnight My Love" and "Jeannie Jeannie Jeannie" (the latter with Page). Oh, the night is slipping away Femme jolie, femme jolie And there's still so much left to say Femme jolie, femme jolie Oh, we haven't got time 'Cause I'll be gone in the sunshine #03) The Clique: "Sugar on Sunday" (1969) [22] {-} I say the mamas and the papas are doin' it Sisters and brothers are doin' it The kids on the block, now now now Are doin' it 'round the clock Hey, the hippies come to see y'all Gettin' down to the nitty gritty #04) Lou Courtney: "Skate Now" (1967) [71] {13} I can't let go although I know He'll make me cry, oh whoa oh 'Til the day I die But people, I've gotta live now And Lord knows as you forgive now Yeah, when it begins-ah #05) Jackie DeShannon: "Needles and Pins" (1963) [84] {-} The Searchers omitted this verse in their much more famous 1964 cover. Don't want a house in the country With lamps and curtains and frills Don't want a house in the mountains If the shack up on the hills #06) Micky Dolenz: "Don't Do It" (1967) [75] {-} Surprisingly, nobody got this, in spite of the fame of the artist! I hope it wasn't because I wasn't quite sure about that last line (suggestions for correction will be gratefully received). I'll be satisfied now as you are my guide Just give me True love and understanding True love and understanding #07) Debbie Dovale: "Hey Lover" (1963) [81] {-} A nice Lesley Gore soundalike. Perhaps uniquely, this one-hit wonder was later covered on the flip side of another one-hit wonder, "Little Miss Sad" by the Five Emprees (GOLQ174). Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed? Are you frightened of the box you keep him in While his genocide fools and his friends rearrange Their religion of the little ten women? #08) Bob Dylan: "Can *You* Please Crawl Out Your Window?" (1965) [58] {-} Perhaps the only '60s hit to have an emphasis in the written title (indicated by underlining on the original 45 label). My my my my (my my my my my) I knew we were falling in love My my my my (my my my my) I told him all the things I was dreaming of #09) The Exciters: "Do-Wah-Diddy" (1964) [78] {-} Hey, look at that girl dressed in red I don't think she heard what I said Hey girl, what you gonna do? #10) The Flamingos: "The Boogaloo Party" (1966) [93] {22} You know I love you, love you, little girl And if you kissed me it would give me the world All around my heart went reeling in #11) The G-Clefs: "Ka-Ding Dong" (1956) [24] {9} And some day we'll be together, yeah Just like we used to be Until that day I can't remember Memories, sweet memories #12) Jennell Hawkins: "Moments" (1961) [50] {16} A minor classic of Los Angeles R&B. Reportedly Hawkins is still playing the clubs there on the strength of this, her only pop hit. I wanna hold you, squeeze you, as tight as I can I'd like to kiss you and please you and make you understand And when you thrill me, you fill me with love so divine Together we can have a good time #13) Al Hibbler: "After the Lights Go Down Low" (1956) [10] {-} Put on a ragged sweatshirt I'll take you anywhere you want me to #14) The Hondells: "Little Honda" (1964) [9] {n/c} I gave you plenty of warning You wouldn't listen to what I say Now you are in mourning I say that you're in a mighty bad way #15) The Ides of March: "You Wouldn't Listen" (1966) [42] {-} A superb piece of folk rock quite unlike their 1970 horn-rock hit "Vehicle". Only four teams got it in spite of the giveaway lyrics. Why do you leave me 'round and make me chase ya When I catch ya, you won't let me embrace ya Please, baby, have a heart 'Cause can't you see #16) Kris Jensen: "Torture" (1962) [20] {-} A wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boom #17) Little Richard & His Band: "Tutti Frutti" (1955) [17] {2} Well, they're dancin' all over and they're dancin' everywhere I go You know I see 'em on the TV and I hear it on the radio Gonna twist, gonna stomp with you Do the wobble and the watusi too #18) Chris Montez: "Some Kinda Fun" (1962) [43] {-} The follow-up to "Let's Dance," and a much better record in my opinion. Surprisingly, only four teams got this. You better take it easy, baby 'Fore you go away #19) Bobby Parker: "Watch Your Step" (1961) [51] {-} Has anybody seen Kosher Pickle Harry? (No! No!) If you see him, tell him that Herbert is looking for him! (No!) #20) The Premiers: "Farmer John" (1964) [19] {n/c} The joint was dim and dark Except for one spotlight Shining on to a frantic band That rocked like dynamite #21) The Rays: "Daddy Cool" (1957) [3] {3} The GenaTeam: One of Australia's best known rock groups from the early 70s was called Daddy Cool, and this was one of their biggest hits. Lead singer was Ross Wilson. Everyone was there just a-waitin' for me There were plenty of Stingrays and XKEs #22) The Rip Chords: "Hey Little Cobra" (1963) [4] {-} I can hardly talk or pray, I cry I just don't think that I can say goodbye Don't tell me that it's over Don't tell me that we're through 'Cause if you leave I don't know what I'll do #23) The Ron-Dels: "If You Really Want Me To, I'll Go" (1965) [97] {-} As John Morthland puts it in his notes to the Rhino CD "Texas Music, Vol. 3 -- Garage Bands & Psychedelia": "The Ron-Dels were Ronnie Kelly and Delbert McClinton, and the countryish 'If You Really Want Me To, I'll Go' was a departure for the latter; Delbert had been working Fort Worth's tough Jacksboro Highway blues joints for years, backing touring stars or fronting bands similar to the one he leads currently. But this was catchy enough to graze the bottom of the national charts, and several Texas bar-bands still throw it into their sets today." Some folks don't understand it That's why they don't demand it #24) The Showmen: "It Will Stand" (1961,1964) [61,80] {-,n/c} Now it's plain to see You put the hurt on me But it's a natural fact I like it like that #25) Jackie Wilson: "Baby Workout" (1963) [5] {1} ------------ Tie-breakers: ------------ I told my mother, father too I told 'em just what I was gonna do If I lives one more year I'm packing my bags, getting away from here #T1) McKinley Mitchell: "The Town I Live In" (1962) [-] {8} One of the most underrated soul singers of all time. He had no axe to grind You never saw him smile But his luck was good He always dressed in style He always walks alone #T2) The Syndicats: "Crawdaddy Simone" (1965) [-] {-} A classic example of the short-lived style halfway between British beat and psychedelia known as "freakbeat," produced by the legendary Joe Meek, and recently immortalized through its inclusion on several compilation CDs. ________________________________________________________________________ This chart ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized, except for the song on which I gave everyone full credit.
