Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season)" (1965) [1] {-} [The 1986 version of Whitburn's book lists this without the parenthetical subtitle, so I also accepted just "Turn! Turn! Turn!" with no points off.] [Jamie Lubin said that this was adapted by Pete Seeger & Dave Ewing added that the words were take from the biblical book of Ecclesiastes.] It's a wonder that The rag don't tear The way he makes it pop You oughta' see him fan the air With his hoppity-hippity-hoppity-hippity Hop-hop-hop #03) Cannon, Freddy: "Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boy" (1960) [34] {-} [Rick Schubert noted the following charted versions from 1950: Red Foley (#1) Bing Crosby (#4) Frank Sinatra (#10) Bradford & Romano (#17) Bill Darnel (#18) Phil Harris (#8)] Didn't like you much when I first met you But somehow I couldn't quite forget you Said you didn't want a friend or lover That your life was happy with another #04) Clark, Petula: "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love" (1966) [9] {-} I've been saving all my money Just to take you there I smell the garden In your hair-air-air-air-a-air #05) Crosby, Stills & Nash: "Marrakesh Express" (1969) [28] {-} [Jamie noted that it was written Graham Nash, and was their 1st hit. He also noted that member David Crosby was a former member of the Byrds.] [Pete Olden added CSN was one of the 'supergroups' -- formed by former Byrds member David Crosby, former Buffalo Springfield member Stephen Stills, and former Hollies member Graham Nash.] [Rick added that CSN won the 1969 Best New Artist Grammy.] Oh well, he left his nagging wife now He slept for twenty years Didn't bother to wake up He grew a long white beard #06) Devotions: "Rip Van Winkle" (1964) [36] {-} [Barry Silk noted that the Devotions were from New York City. Jamie added that this song was their only hit, and was written by lead singer, Ray Sanchez.] [One reason I like this song is because it includes sound effects from my favorite sport, bowling.] Well, baby, I met alot of gals I even kissed a few But I'd trade a trainload full of those gals For one sweet kiss from you #07) Dicky Doo & The Don'ts: "Click-Clack" (1958) [28] {8} [I didn't notice that there could be confusion about the alphabetization of "Dicky Doo", particularly with respect to Dion, until after I posted the quiz. Because "Dicky Doo" is not a real "firstname lastname", as the rules denote them, I have alphabetized this artist on the basis of "Dicky".] [Barry said that "Dicky Doo" was the nickname of Dick Clark's new-born son, and Jamie added that it was written by group members Gerry Granahan (of "No Chemise, Please" fame (from GOLQ49)) & Jerry Grant.] Each time I see you Baby, my heart cries I tell you, I'm gonna steal you Away from all those guys #08) Dion: "Ruby Baby" (1963) [2] {5} [Howard T., Jamie, and Rick all noted that this Leiber & Stoller song was originally recorded by the Drifters in 1956. Rick added that the original (with slightly different lyrics) featured Johnny Moore on lead and was a #5 R&B hit.] I love you, truly I do And I hope deep in your heart, you love me, too Let's forget that we've been angry Let's be lovers like before #09) Everly Brothers: "Like Strangers" (1960-61) [22] {-} [Written by Bordleaux & Felice Bryant, who wrote many of their big hits.] No use in me crying now After you have put me down If you don't want me now more, Baby Ain't no use in your hanging round #10) George, Barbara: "I Know (You Don't Love Me No More)" (1961) [3] {1} [Jamie & Rick pointed out the third line should be "Since you don't want me no more, Baby". Rick added that it was #1 on the R&B charts for four weeks. Jamie and Howard also noted that it was written by Barbara.] There's gonna be a certain party at the station Satin and lace I used to call funny face #11) Harpers Bizarre: "Chattanooga Choo Choo" (1967) [45] {-} [2nd song with "Chattanooga" in title. Mini-theme identified by several entrants]. [Rick and Tom O'Connor noted that this was a #1 hit for Glenn Miller in 1941.] My father looked at me one day Said, Son, it's plain to see That you're getting older And should have a talk with me #12) Hodges, Eddie: "(Girls, Girls, Girls) Made To Love" (1962) [14] {-} [Both the Hallermans and Howard Teitelbaum noted that this was written by Phil Everly. Howard added that it was originally recorded by the Everly Brothers in 1960 as "Made to Love"; not released as a single, but appeared on their '60 album "A Date with the Everly Brothers."] [The Dutch Officials also recalled an Everly Bros. version.] If I had the chance I guess I'd do it all again I'd go down that same old road Even knowing at the end You'd leave me when your heart Hears a new love call #13) Lee, Brenda: "Fool #1" (1961-62) [3] {-} [Jamie provided the following information: Songwriter K.R. Fulton mailed the lyrics to the song to the Wilburn Bros., country stars in Nashville who thought it was perfect for their protege Loretta Lynn; they took the song & Loretta to Owen Bradley of Decca records, who was Brenda Lee's producer. Bradley wanted the song for Brenda, so in return for it, Loretta was signed to a Decca contract, launching her career. Floyd Cramer played piano on the record.] Sometimes I stare in space Tears all over my face I can't explain it Don't understand it I ain't never felt like this before #14) Martha & The Vandellas: "Heat Wave" (1963) [4] {1} [Rick said it was #1 on the R&B charts for 4 weeks, and was in the movie "The Boys In The Band".] [Tom O'Connor mentioned a 1970's remake by Linda Ronstadt.] [Pete added that: The name 'Vandellas' comes from the word 'vandals'. (Quizmaster's note: I had heard also that the Vandellas took their name from that of a street.) Martha Reeves was a Motown secretary who was asked to fill in for a singer who was ill, which led to her and friends (who sang as the Del-Phis in high school) singing back-up with Marvin Gaye on his "Stubborn Kind Of Fellow". Some people at the studio joked about how they 'stole' the spot- light from Marvin Gaye, so they were called the vandals and later Vandellas.] Look at her pass me by Feel so bad that I wanna die Once she said she loved me so Now she doesn't even say hello #15) Martin, Trade: "That Stranger Used To Be My Girl" (1962) [28] {-} [The radio deejay I listen to the most refers to this as the class reunion song. The only rock-n-roll song I know that features a killer tuba solo!] [Although a few entrants correctly identified this song, all of them indicated that their answer was a guess!] [The flipside of this song, "We'll Be Dancin' On The Moon", may explain why we never heard from Trade again!] When we met I felt my life begin #16) Nelson, Rick: "Fools Rush In" (1963) [12] {24} [One point off for answering "Ricky" Nelson; This song was released after his name "change".] [Jamie and Pete said that the lyrics were written by Johnny Mercer, and Pete added that Rube Bloom wrote the melody. Pete said it was written in 1940 and recorded by both of Glenn Miller's and Harry James' bands that year.] [Howard and Rick noted the following versions and chart positions: Originally recorded by Glenn Miller & His Orch. in 1940 (#1). Other charted versions by Tony Martin (1940, #14), Tommy Dorsey & His Orch. (1940, #12), Brook Benton (1960/61, #24), and Etta James (1962, #87). Other than Nelson's and James', all other versions give title as "Fools Rush In (Where Angels Fear to Tread)."] I'll be a dandy And I'll be a rover You'll know who I am By the song that I sing #17) New Christy Minstrels: "Today" (1964) [17] {-} [One of my childrens' favorite songs.] [Jamie noted that one member of of NCM, Gene Clark, went on to perform with the Byrds.] I give up Go home and go to sleep But next night, my date with her I keep Walk her home, we start to kiss and then It all starts happening again #18) Petersen, Paul: "She Can't Find Her Keys" (1962) [19] {-} [Former Mouseketeer (as was Annette). Played Jeff Stone on TV's Donna Reed Show. Tom O'Connor said that this song was from that show.] [Fifth child actor the quiz, the others being Annette, Petula Clark, Eddie Hodges, and Rick Nelson (theme identified by Jamie, the Hallermans, and Team O'Connor.] From out of the East A stranger came A law book in his hand A man #19) Pitney, Gene: (The Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance" (1962) [4] {-} [Rick said that it was written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David.] [The 3rd song to mention a stranger or strangers in the title or lyrics. Theme identified by Team Jamie.] [Tom O'Connor said it was from a movie of the same name.] You fooled me with your kisses You cheated and you schemed Heaven knows you lied to me You're not the way you seem #20) Presley, Elvis: "(You're The) Devil In Disguise" (1963) [3] {9} [Howard noted that the 3rd line should be "Heaven knows HOW you lied to me".] You tell me that you love me And you tell me that you want me And you even wear my graduation ring It's too wonderful It's too beautiful #21) Rodgers, Jimmie: "Are You Really Mine" (1958) [10] {-} Well, get it! Pony, Baby Shake it crazy Come on and Pony with me #22) Sharp, Dee Dee: "Ride!" (1962) [5] {7} Can't you read in between the lines? Sometimes I'm talking and It doesn't seem too clear But if you have to know I'm in love with only you #23) Turtles: "You Know What I Mean" (1967) [12] {-} He said "Son, now don't be silly She's been dead since 1929" Oh how I cried that night #24) Who, The: "Pictures Of Lily" (1967) [51] {-} [Reached #4 on the U.K. charts.] [Similar coming-of-age theme to song #12, but showed the more daring treatment possible in the later sixties, compared to the early sixties.] [Jamie noted it was written by group member, Pete Townshend. Townshend, commenting on the song, said: "Really, it's ("Pictures of Lily") just a look back at the period in every boy's life when he has pin-ups. The idea was inspired by a picture my girl- friend had on her wall of an old vaudeville star, Lily Bayless. It was an old 1920s postcard, and someone had written on it, 'Here's another picture of Lily - hope you haven't got this one.' It made me think that everyone has a pin-up period."] I'm gonna stick by you I'm-a gonna hang around Wait around Hope she'll love me again someday #25) Williams, Andy: "A Fool Never Learns" (1964) [13] {-} [Jamie said that it was written by Sonny Curtis of the (pre-Crickets) Three Tunes.] [4th song to mention fools or "fooling" in the title or lyrics (theme IDd by Team Lubin, the Schuberts, Team Dashevsky, the Genasys Team, & the Hallermans.] ---- Tie Breakers ---- You know-o-ow I told you that I love you so And all of the things that you do-ooh And, Darling, when we are dancing You thrill me through and through-ou-ou-ou-oo-o-ough #T1) Charts: "Dance Girl" (1957) [-] {-} [The Charts were an R&B/Doo-wop group from New York City.] She led me by the hand Down to the railroad track They're in a ten-room house #T2) Rays: "Daddy Cool" (1957) [-] {-} [Jamie noted that the last line probably starts with "There" rather than "They're" and that "house" may actually be the first of syllable of "honky-tonk".] [Best seller flip of "Silhouettes".] [Rick noted a "double" cover of this 45 by the Diamonds, who made a career out of covering Black artist's songs, with "Silhouettes" on the A-side and "Daddy Cool" on the B-side.] [The 4th song in the quiz to mention trains in the title or lyrics (theme identified by Team Dashevsky, Team Lubin & the Hallermans). Also, the 3rd song to refer to a father figure in the title or lyrics (theme identified by the Genasys Team).] ______________________________________________________________________________ This chart ranks the songs/artists from most recognized to least recognized.

For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale. Rank Avg. Song 1 20.0 #02) Turn! Turn! Turn!

So did #01, #06 & #15, but that seems to be mostly due to skillful guessing. Songs #04, #21 & #23 did slightly worse than I expected.
