Bell's cover was followed by the biggest hit version, by Diana Ross And The Supremes & The Temptations (previously used in GOLQ #71).] When you say that I should phone Then I do, and there's nobody home #02) The Bell Notes: "I've Had It" (1959) [6] {19} [Previously used in GOLQ #12. Fanny charted with their cover in 1974.] When you ought to be in school Learning about the golden rule When you tell a tale that isn't true #03) The Cadillacs: "Peek-A-Boo" (1958/59) [28] {20} [Previously used in GOLQ #40.] Every note repeats "I want you" Night and day, my song will haunt you 'Til things are like they were before And you are in my arms once more #04) Richard Chamberlain: "Blue Guitar" (1963) [42] {-} [Written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David. The B-side is the original version of another Bacharach/David composition, "They Long to Be Close to You," which became The Carpenters' first big hit in 1970. The latter version gave the title as "(They Long to Be) Close to You."] Hope you got your things together Hope you are quite prepared to die Looks like we're in for nasty weather One eye is taken for an eye #05) Creedence Clearwater Revival: "Bad Moon Rising" (1969) [2] {-} [Previously used in GOLQ #24. The B-side, "Lodi," charted at #52. Both sides were written, arranged, produced, and sung by John Fogerty (who probably also made the coffee and swept up the studio afterwards).] Come, come, come, come Come into my heart Tell me, darlin', we will never part I need you, darlin' #06) The Dell-Vikings: "Come Go With Me" (1957) [4] {2} [Previously used in GOLQ #22. Full credit was also given for Dion as the artist (his version charted in '63), since he fits alphabetically. The Beach Boys also had a hit with this song in 1981/82.] How many arms have held you And hated to let you go? How many, how many, I wonder #07) Tommy Edwards: "I Really Don't Want to Know" (1960) [18] {-} [A #11 hit for Les Paul & Mary Ford in 1954. Also accepted was Ronnie Dove (1966), who fits alphabetically. Other charting versions were by Solomon Burke (1962), Little Esther Phillips (1963), and Elvis (1970/71).] Apart Why must we be apart? Let's put our hearts together #08) The 4 Seasons: "Alone" (1964) [28] {n/c} [Both this song and the flip, "Long Lonely Nights," covered 1957 hits. The Shepherd Sisters' original (as "Alone (Why Must I Be Alone)") was used in GOLQ #48. The picture sleeve shows "Long Lonely Nights b/w Alone," indicating that "Alone" was the intended B-side. However, the LLN side only bubbled under at #102. The group had switched to the Philips label by '64, but Vee-Jay continued to release the group's 1962-63 recordings (such as this one) for several more years.] In and out my life You come and you go Leaving just your picture behind And I've kissed it a thousand times #09) The Four Tops: "I Can't Help Myself" (1965) [1] {1} [Previously used in GOLQ #7. One of the zillion mid-'60s Motown hits written by the Holland-Dozier-Holland team. Subsequent versions by Donnie Elbert (1972) and Bonnie Pointer (1979/80) also charted.] Each time I hear our favorite song I can't believe you're really gone I hear your voice, I see your face But then you're gone without a trace #10) Brian Hyland: "Run, Run, Look and See" (1966) [25] {-} [Previously used in GOLQ #23.] I jumped out the pot, and I finally got away Frantic with worry, wonderin' what my baby would say So I jumped in the ocean and started to swim But my chance of survival was gettin' mighty slim #11) The Jayhawks: "Stranded in the Jungle" (1956) [18] {9} [Covered a few weeks later by The Cadets (who had a slightly bigger hit), and by The Gadabouts (who had a lesser hit). In The Cadets' version (used in GOLQs #29 and #102), line 2 above is slightly different: "Frantic and worried about what my baby would say".] Just before the sun is ready to say "good night" And the moon comes out of hiding to share its light I think about the things we used to do The way you held me when our love was new #12) Ben E. King: "Tears, Tears, Tears" (1967) [93] {34} I do be wed this day With this ring, we go our way For better or worse, I take thee wed By your hand I will be led #13) Patti LaBelle and The Blue Belles: "Down The Aisle (Wedding Song)" (1963) [37] {14} [Previously used in GOLQ #55. The pressing I have (original label) doesn't have the parenthetical portion of the title given in Whitburn's book.] You wanna take me to a movie show I gotta tell you that I just can't go #14) Darlene Love: "Wait Til' My Bobby Gets Home" (1963) [26] {-} [Previously used in GOLQ #32. Written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry. Cole & Cole noted a lyrical similarity to Sue Thompson's "Norman."] It's my birthday, and he forgot again Every time we date, he's always late Tired of abuses and excuses, I made up my mind Want to tell him this time we're through #15) Martha & The Vandellas: "Live Wire" (1964) [42] {n/c} [Another Holland-Dozier-Holland composition.] You take sugar and spice (sugar and spice) Everything nice (everything nice) And you've got a little girl (yeah, yeah) #16) The Miracles: "That's What Love Is Made Of" (1964) [35] {n/c} [Buried on the B-side is a great Smokey composition, "Would I Love You."] First, you're glad And then you're mad You're the strangest girl I ever had #17) The Moonglows: "See Saw" (1956) [25] {6} [Previously used in GOLQ #29. Covered later in '56 by Don Cornell.] You walked right by me Like you never knew me You didn't even nod your head You just walked out with her instead #18) Rita Pavone: "Remember Me" (1964) [26] {n/c} [The B-side, "Just Once More," bubbled under at #123.] Hold me close And never let me go 'Cause tomorrows can be so uncertain Love can fly and leave just hurtin' #19) Elvis Presley with The Jordanaires: "Kiss Me Quick" (1964) [34] {n/c} [The B-side, "Suspicion," bubbled under at #103. Both songs were already oldies of sorts, having originally appeared on Elvis' 1962 "Pot Luck" LP, so the single was released on RCA's "Gold Standard" label. The reissue of "Suspicion" was presumably spurred by Terry Stafford's successful cover of the song earlier in '64. Both sides were written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman.] He can turn the tides And calm the angry sea He alone decides Who writes a symphony #20) The Righteous Brothers: "He" (1966) [18] {-} [Another two-sided cover record (like #08). "He" charted for both Al Hibbler and The McGuire Sisters in 1955. The B-side, a cover of Jerry Butler's "He Will Break Your Heart," briefly charted at #91.] AS:[Shortest title of all top-100 songs, though some argue for "I (Who Have Nothing)."] You have come to me And you asked me how much I care 'Cause you listened to your friends When they told you I wasn't fair If you can't see what I feel inside By the look of love that's planted in my eyes #21) Jimmy Ruffin: "I'll Say Forever My Love" (1968) [77] {-} Daniel Boone took a ride while in a coonskin cap And he found an icy river and he set a little trap And he took a bite of jerky and he took a little nap And he knew he'd catch a beaver or a fat muskrat #22) Sam the Sham and The Pharaohs: "How Do You Catch a Girl" (1966/67) [27] {-} I never had no money I bought at the secondhand store The way this whole town laughs at me I just can't take it no more #23) Sonny & Cher: "Baby Don't Go" (1965) [8] {-} [Previously used in GOLQ #45. Song was originally released in 1964 as by Caesar & Cleo (their 1963-64 stage name), but was reissued following the breakthrough success of "I Got You Babe." Written, arranged, and produced by Sonny Bono.] My love and I were happy Before you came along And it'll stay that way 'Cause I won't let her down I love her, can't you see? #24) Chad Stuart and Jeremy Clyde: "What Do You Want with Me" (1965) [51] {-} [Duo was billed as above for 3 of their charted hits, with the balance as "Chad & Jeremy." No evidence of their ever being billed as "Hanging Chad & Jeremy" (too morbid), "Dimpled Chad & Jeremy" (too cutesy), or (heavens!) "Pregnant Chad & Jeremy." B-side is "A Very Good Year," first recorded by The Kingston Trio in 1961 on their "Goin' Places" LP. C&J's recording predates both charting versions of the song: Sinatra's (later '65), and Della Reese's (1966). All other versions mentioned (Kingston, Sinatra, Reese) give the title as "It Was a Very Good Year."] Near the village The peaceful village #25) The Tokens: "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" (1961/62) [1] {7} [Previously used in GOLQ #18. First recorded in 1939 as "Mbube" by Solomon Linda & The Evening Birds, a South African Zulu group. Subsequently re-worked by The Weavers in 1952, as "Wimoweh," a #14 hit. Robert John had a #3 hit with his version in 1972.] ------------ Tie-breakers: ------------ Relations, sparing no expense'll Send some useless old utensil Or a matching pen and pencil "Just the thing I need ... how nice." #T1) Tom Lehrer: "A Christmas Carol" (1959) [-] {-} [From the great satirist's 2nd LP, "An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer."] An automatic vegetable slicer that works when you see it on television, but not when you get it home Chromium combination manicure scissors and cigarette lighter Pair of teakwood shower clogs Indoor plastic birdbath A pink satin pillow that says "San Diego" with fringe all around it Hammered aluminum nutcracker Statue of a lady with a clock where her stomach ought to be Simulated alligator wallet Calendar book with the name of my insurance man Green polka-dot pajamas And a Japanese transistor radio! #T2) Allan Sherman: "The Twelve Gifts of Christmas" (1964/65) [-] {-} [This parody of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is from his LP "For Swingin' Livers Only!". The Coasters cited an alternate version by Sherman in which the clock is in a "naked lady."] _____________________________________________________________________________ The following table ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized. The first column indicates the average number of points scored on that song (total points divided by number of entrants). For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale. Avg.
