Andrews, whose real name is Arthur Lee Andrew Thompson, co-wrote it with high-school classmate Hy Lit. Lit has been a DJ since the '50s in Philadelphia and is currently on oldies station WOGL there (98.1 MHz).] [T.P. notes: "The Turtles released a straight doo-wop version of this song as a single in 1970, though I forget under what pseudonym."] Gonna shoot you right down Take you in my arms I'm in love with you Love that is true #02) The Animals: "Boom Boom" (1964/65) [43] {n/c} [Originally written and recorded by John Lee Hooker in 1962 (pop #60, R&B #16). Antonio & team note that Bruce Springsteen does this in concert.] This is the way I always dreamed it would be The way that it is, oh-oh-oh-oh When you are holding me #03) The Beach Boys: "I Can Hear Music" (1969) [24] {-} [Originally hit #100 in '66 for The Ronettes Featuring Veronica.] [Antonio & team note: "Written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich and Phil Spector. Produced by Carl Wilson."] So, I hope you see That I would love to love you And that she will cry When she learns we are two #04) The Beatles: "If I Fell" (1964) [53] {n/c} [Featured in the movie "A Hard Day's Night," as was its flip-side, "And I Love Her." Recorded in 15 takes on 27 February 1964; mixed to mono on 3 March and to stereo on 22 June. Released in July on both the "A Hard Day's Night" LP and the U.S. single; didn't appear on a U.K. single (although it was on a British EP in November '64 along with "I Should Have Known Better," "Tell Me Why," and "And I Love Her"). The song also was on the U.S. "Something New" LP in '64.] Hey, everybody, get out of the street, now I hear the roar of an XKE, now Sloppy sweater and a ponytail And the cop on the corner is turning pale #05) Freddy Cannon: "Abigail Beecher" (1964) [16] {n/c} [His first release on Warner, after 19 charted singles on the Swan label.] And with the moon above I should sing words of love But all I do is sing her name She gets the message just the same #06) Chubby Checker: "Loddy Lo" (1963/64) [12] {n/c} [Tune was adapted from the Bahamian folk song "Hey Li-Lee, Hey Li-Lee Lo." Jamie notes that the song was written by Kal Mann & Dave Appell (of the Applejacks) about Chubby's wife, Catherina Lodders (Miss World, 1962).] Make your wish come true For I'll be wishing That you love me too #07) The Crests: "16 Candles" (1958/59) [2] {4} [Antonio & team cite a cover by James Taylor.] "I was walkin' down the street with your girl" "Yeah?" "I took her home ... for a drink, you know?" "Took her home?" "Yeah, just for a drink But that chick was so ugly, She had to sneak up on a glass to get a drink of water" #08) Bo Diddley: "Say Man" (1959) [20] {3} [Song consists of Bo and maracas player Jerome Green playfully trading insults. The EJ's note that Green is named in another Diddley tune, "Bring It To Jerome."] [Pete Olden shares the following: The Animals (artist for song #2) recorded "The Story of Bo Diddley," which was on their third album "Animal Tracks" back around 1966. In the song, which lasts over 5 minutes, lead singer Eric Burdon tells the story of Bo Diddley being born in Mississippi, moving to Chicago, "practicing the guitar until his papa's hair began to turn white," and eventually making it big. Along the way, Burdon also tells the story of the growth and changes in rock-n-roll music during the 1950s and early 1960s ... leading up to entry of British rock music with the Rolling Stones, Merseybeats, etc. By then, Bo had become very influential in rock and R&B music, and a number of the British acts tried to copy his music. Burdon goes on in the song to then say: "He visited our country a short while back. We was a playin' the Club A Go Go in Newcastle, our hometown, when to our surprise, in walked the man himself, Bo Diddley. Along with him was Jerome Green, his maracca man, and the Duchess, his gorgeous sister. After we had been playin' a while, I overhead Bo Diddley say ... he said 'Hey Jerome, whaddaya think of these guys doin' our ... our kind of material?' And Jerome said 'Show me to the bar man, please show me to the bar.' Bo turned to his sister and said: 'Hey Duch, whaddaya think of these guys doin' our ... our kind of material?' And the Duchess said: 'I don't know Bo, I only came over here to see the changin' of the guard and all that.' Well Bo turned to me and he said: 'Man' ... he took off his glasses and said: 'Man ... that sure is the BIGGEST load of rubbish I ever heard in my life!'"] C'mon, girl, won't you give in? Can't you see that you can't win? Never gonna let you go-oh #09) The 4 Seasons: "Marlena" (1963) [36] {-} [Written by Bob Gaudio of the group. B-side of the #3 hit "Candy Girl."] Well, slightly slimmer than a fishin' pole She's one half rock and the other half roll Well, dig that chick from either side And man, you'll yell "Where did she hide?" #10) Bill Haley & His Comets: "Skinny Minnie" (1958) [22] {-} [Common error: Minus 1 for "The Comets" in lieu of "His Comets" (minus 3 if you omitted the Comets entirely).] And never let anybody say why you can't make it 'Cause a feeble mind is in your way No more tears do we cry And we have finally dried our eyes #11) The Impressions: "We're a Winner" (1967/68) [14] {1} [Written by group's leader & lead singer Curtis Mayfield.] Maybe tomorrow When He looks down On every green field In every town #12) Tommy James & The Shondells: "Crystal Blue Persuasion" (1969) [2] {-} [Jamie notes that while the recording sounds like "IN every town," the sheet music gives the line as "AND every town." He adds that it was written by group members Tommy James, Mike Vale & Ed Gray.] [According to Barry, James says he got the title from the Old Testament.] You're delicious And if my wishes Can all come true #13) Tom Jones: "What's New Pussycat?" (1965) [3] {-} [Title song from the movie, starring Peter Sellers and Woody Allen (who wrote the script). Jamie notes that the song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.] Along about ten, I'll be flyin' high Walk on out onto the sky But I don't care if I spend my gold 'Cause tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul #14) Little Richard & His Band: "Rip it Up" (1956) [17] {1) [Cover by Bill Haley & His Comets hit #25.] [T.P. notes: "The answer to the trivia question 'What song has appeared on records by Little Richard, The Beatles, Bill Haley & His Comets, Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent & His Blue Caps, Carl Perkins & NRBQ, and Chuck Berry?'"] [Antonio & team note: "A John Marascalco / Bumps Blackwell composition (the latter produced). Featured in various films, most notably 'Don't Knock The Rock'. Other covers include Elvis Presley, Chubby Checker, The Everly Brothers, Wanda Jackson, Gene Vincent, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Carl Perkins, Commander Cody & The Lost Planet Airmen, ..."] The dance is going all night long 'Til the morning sun begins to shine #15) Miriam Makeba: "Pata Pata" (1967/68) [12] {7} [Written by Makeba and Jerry Ragovoy. In an interview, she noted about this song "I didn't understand why that one became so popular, because it's one of my most insignficant songs. And here I have songs that I think are very serious and people remember 'Pata Pata.'"] [This proved to be the most difficult regular song in the quiz.] An ancient flower blooms And the scent from its nature Slowly squares my room And its perfume being such That it's causing me to swoon #16) The Mamas & The Papas: "Safe in My Garden" (1968) [53] {-} Pardon me if I'm sentimental When we say goodbye Don't be angry with me Should I cry #17) Elvis Presley: "(Now and Then There's) A Fool Such as I" (1959) [2] {16} [Rick notes: In 1953, Hank Snow had a #4 Country hit with this song, while Jo Stafford had a Pop #16 hit and Tommy Edwards had a #24 Pop hit. In 1973-4, Bob Dylan had a #55 Pop hit with it. Tommy Edwards' and Bob Dylan's titles were just "A Fool Such As I"; Jo Stafford's was "(Now And Then There's) A Fool Such As I"; I don't know what Hank Snow's title was.] [Joe Haertel adds that Elvis probably decided to record this song after touring with Hank Snow in 1955 and heard the song performed by Hank multiple times.] [Antonio & team note that it was backed by "I Need Your Love Tonight" and that it was written by Bill Trader. They also cite covers by Jim Reeves, Tasty Licks, The Robins, and Bill Haley & His Comets.] You little doll, all you do is play You got a new baby every day But someday, it's gonna be me, me, and only me #18) Bobby Rydell: "Wild One" (1960) [2] {10} [The EJ's note that this was Rydell's biggest hit and his only million-seller.] I never wore a smile Till the day I found you Now all I do is smile Whenever I'm around you #19) Neil Sedaka: "Sunny" (1964) [86] {n/c} [His best song, IMHO, although he could barely dent the charts during the British Invasion.] You should hear what they say about you (cheat, cheat) They say, they say you've never, never never been true (cheat, cheat) #20) The Shirelles: "Baby It's You" (1961/62) [8] {3} [Version by the group Smith in 1969 hit #5. The Beatles recorded it in '63 for their debut album "Please Please Me."] [Antonio & team note: "Written by Mack David, Barney Williams and Burt Bacharach (who also co-wrote #13). Covered later by Smith, Dave Berry, Bruce Channel, Gary & The Hornets, Bobby Rydell, Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe, The Carpenters, Janie Fricke, Stacy Lattisaw, and Johnny Gil."] Hear my words, that I might teach you Take my arms, that I might reach you #21) Simon & Garfunkel: "The Sounds of Silence" (1965/66) [1] {-} [Original version, featuring only acoustic guitar accompaniment, appears on their debut LP, "Wednesday Morning 3 A.M." The version on the single (which also appears on their 2nd LP, "Sounds of Silence") is a re-mix which added electric guitar, percussion, etc.] [Jamie elaborates: About a year after the acoustic version of Sounds Of Silence bombed, Columbia added electric instruments to the basic tracks (without informing S&G) & the song went to #1. When S&G later appeared on Hullabaloo, Simon wanted to show the Hullabaloo orchestra's guitar player how "he" (Paul) did "his" guitar thing on the record, but the guitar player, Vinnie Bell, let Paul know that it was "he" (Vinnie) who played guitar on the hit!"] [Rick adds that Paul Simon's live solo version of this was #50 on the Adult Contemporary charts in 1974.] It would take, I know A Michelangelo And he would need the glow of dawn That paints the sky above #22) The Tokens: "Portrait of My Love" (1967) [36] {-} [Originally hit #9 in '61 for Steve Lawrence.] In the shelter of her arms, everything's OK She talks, and the world goes slippin' away And I know the reason I can still go on When every other reason is gone #23) The Vogues: "Five O'Clock World" (1965/66) [4] {-} [Barry notes: "The Vogues, from Turtle Creek, PA, formed in 1958 while in high school. Bill Burkette sang lead on this song."] Oh, come back Help me, dear Hold me, love Be sincere #24) Thomas Wayne with The DeLons: "Tragedy" (1959) [5] {20} [Produced by Scotty Moore (formerly Elvis' drummer). Written by Gerald Nelson and Fred Burch, and first recorded by their group, The Escorts, in 1958. Subsequent charting versions by The Fleetwoods (1961, #10) and Brian Hyland (1969, #56). Wayne (real name: Thomas Wayne Perkins) died in a car crash in '71 at age 31. The DeLons were three female high-school classmates of Wayne's (at Humes High School, Elvis' alma mater); minus 1 point if you forgot them.] Yeah! I admit you got the biggest brown eyes And you know how to part your lips to tantalize, sure Yeah! You can get any man you want #25) The Young Rascals: "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore" (1965/66) [52] {-} [The EJ's note: "Written by Pam Brown and Laurie Burton; produced by the Rascals with Arif Mardin and Tom Dowd. The group's first song to make the Hot 100. Also recorded in 1978 by the heavy-metal group Angel."] [Antonio & team add: "Written by Pam Sawyer and Laurie Burton. ... Felix Cavailere could not describe how he felt when he first heard it on the radio, when 'this dream materializes in the middle of the street and you're carrying a portable radio'."] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TIE-BREAKERS: Makes me realize That you're the one for me And you will always be in my heart #T1) The Bop Chords: "Castle in the Sky" (1957) [-] {-} [Barry notes: "The Bop Chords formed in Harlem in 1955. Group members included Ernest Harriston (lead), William Daley (first tenor), Ken Hamilton (second tenor), Leon Ivey (bass), and Morris Smarr (baritone). 'Castle In The Sky' was their first single, which sold over 100,000 copies."] I love you, love you so I'll never let you go 'Cause I need you so #T2) The Spaniels: "Baby, It's You" (1953) [-] {10} [An almost complete stumper; only Team Jamie identified the artist and no one got the title. I don't think the song is *that* obscure, but the few lyrical excerpts that don't contain the title aren't very distinguishing. Unrelated to the later Shirelles hit of the same title (song #20), which was the *most* recognized song in the quiz.] _____________________________________________________________________________ The following table ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized.
