When something comes up to me he don't even try 'Cause if it had a set of wings, man, I know she could fly #02) Beach Boys, The: Little Deuce Coupe (1963) [15] {28} Written by Brian Wilson and Roger Christian. He got juju eyeball He one holy roller He got hair down to his knee Got to be a joker he just do what he please #03) Beatles, The: Come Together (1969/70) [1] {-} The first song on side one of Abbey Road. Howard Teitelbaum & Bonnie Teitelbaum: John Lennon "borrowed" from Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me." Instead of Chuck's "Here come a flat-top / He was movin' up with me," John wrote "Here come old flat-top / He come groovin' up slowly." Basic tracks recorded on 21 July 1969, with overdubs on 25/29/30 July; released on the "Abbey Road" LP on 26 September. Jessica Raine: Remade, very very well, by Aerosmith. Cole & Cole: Made into a great Nortel commercial. Hot rod queen Cutest gal you've ever seen Tell the world I'm really keen #04) Bennett, Boyd, and His Rockets: Seventeen (1955) [5] {7} You move it to the right Yeah, if it takes all night Now, baby, kinda slow With a whole lot of soul #05) Bob & Earl: Harlem Shuffle (1963/64) [44] {n/c} My baby, she made out of love Like one of those bunnies in the Playboy Club #06) Buckinghams, The: Mercy, Mercy, Mercy (1967) [5] {-} The Wicked Boys: An instrumental hit for Cannonball Adderley; written by Joe Zawinul of Weather Report. I opened my heart to the whole universe And I found it was loving And I saw the great blunder my teachers had made #07) Byrds, The: 5 D (Fifth Dimension) (1966) [44] {-} Written by Roger (ne James) McGuinn. Now, wait a minute You know my baby, she won't let me in I've got a few pennies I'm gonna buy myself a bottle of gin And then I'm gonna call my buddy On the telephone and say #08) Charles, Ray: Let's Go Get Stoned (1966) [31] {1} Written by Ashford/Simpson/Armstead. Jamie Lubin: Originally recorded by Ronnie Milsap; Ashford & Simpson's first "solid" writing hit. Ron & Sally Crandall: Backing vocals by The Raelets featuring Margie Hendrix. I thought you loved me You said you loved me We planned together To dream forever The dream has ended For true love died #09) Cole, Nat "King": A Blossom Fell (1955) [2] {-} Orchestra arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle. Well, I've said everything that I can say Done everything that I can do Oh, it's you girl, oh, yes I have, now #10) Deal, Bill, & The Rhondels: May I (1969) [39] {-} This big Beach Music tune was first recorded by Maurice Williams in 1965. Rubbers drying in the doorways And report cards I was always afraid to show Mama'd come to school As I'd sit there softly cryin' Teacher'd say he's just not tryin' Got a good head if he'd apply it But you know yourself it's always somewhere else #11) Diamond, Neil: Brooklyn Roads (1968) [58] {-} Autobiographical song recalling Neil's childhood growing up in Brooklyn. As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And say, "Do you want to make a deal?" #12) Dylan, Bob: Like A Rolling Stone (1965) [2] {-} A little trick with "Nick" #13) Ellis, Shirley: The Name Game (1964/65) [3] {4} Team Asia: In surely one of the funniest rock vignettes, Shirley's hubby Lincoln wrote the song for audience participation. Shirley would go into the crowd and ask everyone's names and sing the lyrics accordingly. But Lincoln, in an inspired faux pas, thought F was a suitable letter for the song. Ellis had to drop the audience participation from her repertoire when too many people claimed to be called Chuck or Bart. Don't live in the past, dear For you and me the die is cast, dear But if love won't last, dear We have the right #14) Four Aces featuring Al Alberts: To Love Again (1956) [43] {-} Slow down, you move too fast #15) Harpers Bizarre: The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy) (1967) [13] {-} A Paul Simon composition. It was the flip side of Simon & Garfunkel's "At The Zoo." Howard Teitelbaum & Bonnie Teitelbaum: Written by Paul Simon; the original, slightly less wimpy version appeared on the Simon & Garfunkel LP "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme." For the benefit of non-New Yorkers: The aforementioned bridge, also known as the Queensboro Bridge, is one of the bridges connecting the boroughs of Queens and Manhattan. And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's "Off with her head!" Remember what the dormouse said "Feed your head" "Feed your head" #16) Jefferson Airplane, The: White Rabbit (1967) [8] {-} Written by Grace Slick, nee Grace Wing. From the album "Surrealistic Pillow." Oldtunes: I have had continuing debates with others about the "dormouse" having said anything. I believe it is the "doorknob" that speaks in the Disney animated version [of Alice In Wonderland], but I have never convinced anyone else of this. Team Asia: Worst group I ever saw in person. They were straight enough to sing about five songs and the crowd choked on the incense. This is my quest To follow that star No matter how hopeless No matter how far #17) Jones, Jack: The Impossible Dream (The Quest) (1966) [35] {-} Jones is the son of singer Allan Jones and actress Irene Hervey. This was the signature song (as sung on Broadway by Richard Kiley as Don Quixote) from the hit 60s musical Man Of La Mancha. Jessica Raine: 'Man Of La Mancha' music was by Joe Darion and lyrics by Mitch Leigh. I'll drink if I want to And play a little poker too Don't you say nothin' to me As long as I'm takin' care of you #18) King, B. B.: Paying The Cost To Be The Boss (1968) [39] {10} Between the two of us girls, you know I love you more It took me by surprise, I must say #19) Knight, Gladys, & the Pips: I Heard It Through The Grapevine (1967/68) [2] {1} Howard Teitelbaum & Bonnie Teitelbaum: Written by Barrett Strong & Norman Whitfield. Marvin Gaye's version was recorded earlier, but was released about a year after this version, due to a contractual dispute with Motown. Two other Motown artists recorded it even earlier: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles were first (eventually releasing it on their 1968 LP "Special Occasion"), and The Isley Brothers were second (unreleased version). Lonely, lonely as I can be Well, I had a true love Had the world in my hand Now I got a hurt I can't hardly stand #20) Lee, Brenda: Anybody But Me (1961) [31] {-} Written by singer/guitarist Ronnie Self, who also wrote "Sweet Nothin's" and "I'm Sorry." Here's that old teddy bear That you won for me at the state fair Here's some old valentine cards #21) Martha & the Vandellas: Come And Get These Memories (1963) [29] {6} A Holland-Dozier-Holland composition. During the North African campaign A bunch of soldier boys had been on a long hike And they arrived in a little town called Casino The next morning, being Sunday, several of the boys went to church #22) Martindale, Wink: Deck Of Cards (1959/60) [7] {-} My friends say I've never seemed so gay But if they only knew how much I cried for you Their laughter would surely fade away #23) Myles, Billy: The Joker (That's What They Call Me) (1957/58) [25] {13} Could you ever change your mind? If you do I'll still be here, dear Waiting, longing for you #24) Scott, Jack: What In The World's Come Over You (1960) [5] {7} With all that perfumed hair And it came undone When I was twenty-one #25) Sinatra, Frank: It Was A Very Good Year (1965/66) [28] {-} Della Reese's 1966 cover only reached #99 on the pop chart. ----------------------- T I E - B R E A K E R S ----------------------- I've tried so hard to please you Gave you everything that I had And now you've gone and left me Leaving my heart so sad I even like the way you walk Just crazy 'bout the way you smile and talk #T1) Ace, Johnny: I'm Crazy Baby (1954) [-] {-} Vocalist/pianist Ace worked with B.B. King and Bobby Bland before becoming a solo artist. I hope that you realize That you're the girl I idolize #T2) Charles, Bobby: You Can Suit Yourself (1956) [-] {-} Bobby wrote Clarence Henry's "But I Do," Bill Haley and His Comets' "See You Later, Alligator," and Fats Domino's "Walking To New Orleans." Born in Louisiana in 1938, he had a short recording stint with Chess Records in his late teens. His "Time Will Tell" was covered by Tower Of Power in 1974. ============================================================================== POP QUIZ!

(Good job Team Asia for guessing Johnny Ace, presumably based on the theme!) I never thought I'd see a B. B. King song be more familiar than one by Ray Charles. I promise never again to let Bob use a song by the Four Aces. Bob: One point off, Marc, for leaving out Al Alberts. ______________________________________________________________________________ Marc Dashevsky and Bob Bluestein
