It was a hit in '29 for Rudy Vallee & His Connecticut Yankees, Nat Shilkret & The Victor Orchestra, & Franklyn Baur. It was a #13 hit in '53/54 for the Four Tunes, their first hit] Living is easy with eyes closed Misunderstanding all you see It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out It doesn't matter much to me #02) Beatles: "Strawberry Fields Forever" (67) [8] [Dave Ewing commented, "it's a shame that George Martin left this & 'Penny Lane' off of 'Sgt. Pepper...,' putting them out on the single instead (& then later on 'Magical Mystery Tour'). What an even greater album it would have been."] [Adri Verhoef (Dutch Officials) stated that the double A-side (Strawberry/Penny Lane) was on the Dutch charts for 13 weeks, 4 as #1] [Ellis said that it was written by Lennon & McCartney. In a '70 Rolling Stone interview, Lennon described this & "Help" as "personal" records: "They were the ones I always considered my best songs. They were the ones I wrote from exper- ience & not projecting myself into a situation & writing a nice story about it." Notable also because of the controversy when perceptive Beatles fans heard the words "I buried Paul" near the end of the song when it was played backwards, & thought it was a sign that McCartney had passed away; he hadn't] [Howard Teitelbaum added that it was recorded in Nov./Dec. 1966. Lennon decided that he liked the 1st half of Take 7 & the last half of Take 26, & asked George Martin to merge them. They were in different keys & tempi, but fortunately, the keys matched when Take 7 was speeded up & Take 26 slowed down to a common tempo. The edit occurs around 60 seconds into the song, between the words "I'm" & "going" in the line "Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields." The phrase uttered during the fade-out, widely interpreted as "I buried Paul" during the "Paul Is Dead" fad, is actually Lennon saying "cranberry sauce."] Let's hit it Two up Two back Two kicks and a clap Lookin' nice Jackie Gleasons #03) Al Brown('s) Tunetoppers Featuring Cookie Brown: "The Madison" (60) [23] {14} [a couple of entrants pointed out that these lyrics are from the flip-side, Mo' Madison. As I've stated, I get the lyrics from the radio & these lyrics are the ones I've always heard (& the DJ IDs the song as The Madison] [similar (but different) lyrics are in Ray Bryant Combo's "The Madison Time-Part I] Cop's face is filled with hate Heavens above, he's on a street called love When will they ever learn Old cop, young cop, feel alright #04) Eric Burdon & The Animals: "San Franciscan Nights" (67) [9] [Dave wanted to know, "has Eric ever been to San Francisco? Is there such a thing as a 'warm San Francisco night?'"] [Adri added that it was on the Dutch charts for 10 weeks, peaking at #6] Young hearts can go their way Can't put it off another day I don't care what others say They claim we don't listen anyway #05) Chambers Brothers: "Time Has Come Today" (68) [11] [Stephen (DAT) stated that it was 1st released in '66, but didn't peak on the charts 'til '68 when the psychedelia phenomenon was well underway] [written by Joseph & Willie Chambers] There's dimples on her elbows, dimples on her knees There's dimples on her elbows, dimples on her knees She thrills and thrills me with just a little squeeze #06) Crew-Cuts: "Ko Ko Mo (I Love Her So)" (55) [6] [Barry Silk noted that the Crew-Cuts formed in 1952 as the Canadaires at the Cathedral Choir School, Toronto, Canada] [Rick Schubert added that it was a #2 hit for Perry Como (also a valid artist) in '55, a #92 hit, as Kokomo, for the Flamingos in '61 (they'd done it as Ko Ko Mo in '55), while the original #6 R&B hit, Ko Ko Mo, was done in '54 by Gene & Eunice] [Forest Gene Wilson (Gene of Gene & Eunice) was among the writers] I got pigs, I got horses, I got cows, I got sheep I got all livestock I got all livestock I got allll liiivestock #07) Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group: "Rock Island Line" (56) [8] [Ellis mentioned the (valid) artist as Don Cornell, backed by the Carretta Orchestra. Originated in the mid 30s as an Arkansas prison song & associated with folk singing legend Leadbelly. Johnny Cash cut a version in the mid 50s. but it wasn't released 'til '70] [T.P. Uschanov added that Lonnie is a Glasgow, Scotland native whose first name is Anthony; he got the "Lonnie" from blues singer Alonzo "Lonnie" Johnson ("Tomorrow Night")] [hit #8 in the UK] I went down to Miami I met a girl name of Sammi The moon was bright The time was right I said-a "hey girl I love you, oh what you wanna do?" #08) Dovells: "Hully Gully Baby" (62) [25] [Barry recalled that the Dovells formed as the Brooktones in 1959 (named after their school, Overbrook High School, Philadelphia. Len Borisoff (Len Barry) was the lead singer] [I once dated someone who *told* me that she'd dated one of the Dovells] I don't need you like the stars don't need the sky I won't love you longer than the day I die You don't please me when you squeeze me #09) Four Lads: "No, Not Much!" (56) [2] [Barry reported that the Four Lads were originally choirboys at St. Michael's Cathedral Choir School in Toronto during the late 40s. They consisted of lead Bernie Toorish, Jimmie Arnold, Frank Busseri & Connie Codarini] [Rick added that it hit #4 in '69 as No, Not Much for the Vogues & #85 in '69 as No Not Much for The Smoke Ring] [on the charts for 24 weeks] I'll love you fore-ever Then you'll be mi-ine alone I promise I'll never Leave you all alo-one I-I-I-I need you (da-da-day da-da-day) I truly, truly need you (da-da-day da-da-day) Do anything to please you (da-da-day da-da-day) #10) Four Lovers: "You're The Apple Of My Eye" (56) [62] [Barry indicated that is was written by Otis Blackwell & that the Four Lovers later became the Four Seasons] [they performed song on the Ed Sullivan Show; Otis was going to give them All Shook Up, but was told to give it to a bigger name performer. Since he "owed" the Four Lovers a song, he gave them this one] You gotta jump You gotta jive You gotta dance To be alive #11) Bill Haley And His Comets: "Rock-A-Beatin' Boogie" (55/56) [23] [Steve stated that "this one has all that natural reverb on it from the Knights Of Pythias Temple 'studio,' actually the Auditorium/Theater on the 3rd floor."] [T.P. said that it was recorded 9/22/55 & that it's included on the new 2-disc Decca rock 'n' roll collection, "Rock Around The Clock," although missing from the track listing on the back cover!] [Howard added that it's the B-side of "Burn That Candle"] [written by Bill] Now I'm gone and livin' on my own, uh-huh-huh Got me a boy, I know he's mine alone, uh-huh-huh He's the kind of boy a girl can take home, uh-huh-huh I know I've got my boy to marry 'Cause my life's been a bowl of cherries #12) Ikettes: "Peaches 'N' Cream" (65) [36] {28} [Rick pointed out that these Ikettes had a total personnel change from the Ikettes who did "I'm Blue (The Gong-Gong Song) (GOLQ67)] You know names have been changed To protect you and I-I-I-I-I I love you darling I love you so And I'll never le-et you go #13) Jive Five: "Never, Never" (61) [74] [Barry commented that the Jive 5 were from Brooklyn, NY & that this song was written by lead singer Eugene Pitt in his car while fighting traffic on the way to their recording studio] [Rick added "with the Joe Rene Orchestra"] I was shooting dice Rakin' in the dough (long green) And then I heard A whistle blow #14) Kingston Trio: "The Tijuana Jail" (59) [12] Unrequited love's a bore, yeah And I've got it pretty bad But for someone you adore It's a pleasure to be sa-a-ad Like a straying baby lamb With no mama and no papa #15) Mamas And The Papas: "Glad To Be Unhappy" (67) [26] [Rick & Ellis said that it was originally from the 1936 Rogers & Hart musical "On Your Toes"] [Tom O'Connor added that it was written by Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart & that Frank Sinatra had a pre-1955 release] Oh-oh-oh, do the monkey (do the monkey) A-do the twist (do the twist) Everybody, it goes like this #16) Miracles: "I Gotta Dance To Keep From Crying" (63/64) [35] {35} The trees are drawing me near I've got to find out why Those gentle voices I hear Explain it all with a si-i-i-i-i-igh #17) Moody Blues: "Tuesday Afternoon (Forever Afternoon)" (68) [24] [Ellis commented that it was the 1st of their hits to be produced by Tony Clarke, who produced most of their classic hits of the late 60s & 70s] [Howard stated that it was from their 1968 concept album, "Days Of Future Passed," in which each song in turn depicts the passing of the day from morning 'til night. Also on this album was "Nights In White Satin," which wasn't released as a single until 1972.] [Ben (DAT) added that the album title was Forever Afternoon (Tuesday)] [the Moody Blues will soon start writing their 18th album] So many things to say I couldn't fit 'em in a book, fit 'em in a book of a thousand pages, yeah So many people say That I couldn't tell a lie, couldn't tell a lie in a thousand ages #18) Orpheus: "Can't Find The Time" (69) [80] [Ben (DAT) said, "Orpheus was one of those Boston groups from the over-hyped Bosstown sound that was supposed to be the next San Francisco sound...turned out to be another failed promotional hype in the manner of Moby Grape..."] ["could" in line 2 corrected to "couldn't" by Bonnie Teitelbaum] [since I like the song, I always wondered why it didn't chart higher] If a flame is to grow, there must be a glow To open each door there's a key I need you I know, I can't let you go Your touch means too much to me Two lips must insist on two more to be kissed Or they'll never know what love can do #19) Platters: "To Each His Own" (60) [21] [Rick reported that it was written for, but not used in, the movie of the same name. 1946 charted versions: Eddie Howard & His Orchestra (#1 for 8 weeks), Freddy Martin & His Orchestra (#1 for 2 weeks), Ink Spots (#1 for a week), Modernaires with Paula Kelly (#3) & Tony Martin (#4). Uncharted versions: Five Keys (1957), Dominoes (1957) & Clovers (1959). Charted versions by the Tymes (#78 in '64) & Frankie Laine (#82 in '68)] [Ellis had similar comments to the above & added that Olivia De Havilland starred in the film] [Tom added that De Havilland won her 1st Best Actress Oscar in it] [written by Jay Livingston & Ray Evans] 'Cause it's 3 a.m., there's too much noise Don't you people ever want to go to bed? Just 'cause you feel so good Do you have to drive me outta my head? #20) Rolling Stones: "Get Off Of My Cloud" (65) [1] [Barry & Ellis mentioned that it was written by Mick Jagger & Keith Richard] [Adri stated that it was on the Dutch charts for 14 weeks, peaking at #3] [Ellis added that it was produced by Andrew Loog Oldham & that it features the fine drumming of Charlie Watts] Though I know I can't get rid of you I'm gonna try to show you how much You're turnin' me around, destroying me I'll never be the same as before #21) Royalettes: "It's Gonna Take A Miracle" (65) [41] {28} [Barry pointed out that they were from Baltimore, MD & formed at Edmondson High School.
