as the B side of "I'm Afraid To Go Home".

... how many times I freeze in the knees

#25) Slim Whitman: I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen (1957) [93] {-}
The Village Idiots mention that more people probably heard this song on
Star Trek than the charting version. This was also a #3 hit for Walter
Van Brunt in 1916.
#T1) The Crickets: I'm Lookin' For Someone To Love (1957) [-] {F}
I was curious to see how a relatively well known non-charting song would
do compared with a traditional quiz. On GOLQ89 it scored 4.0, while the
instrumental clip this time scored 11.7.
Our daily deeds, and the things we do and say
By what we keep, oh yeah, and what we cast away
#T2) Wilson Pickett: People Make The World (What It Is) (1968) [-] {F}
Flip side of "A Man And A Half". Nine entrants recognized Pickett's voice.
EMC and Friends and Randy Price/Peter Morley also knew the song.

This chart ranks the songs/artists from most to least recognized. The second
number on the line denotes the average number of points scored on that song
(total points divided by number of entrants, to 1 decimal place). For
comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale.
