I hope this takes off in this section, because its something that can be related to all decade posting sections.


Anyway the way it works is that One person starts by quoting a part of a song lyric from the sixties and the person who gets it right the  quickest gets to continue on and choose a song lyric to continue the quiz on :)


anyway I will start it off and see how this takes off.............good luck :)

" Whenever I.............whenever i'm away from you
My Alibi is telling people i dont care for you
maybe im just hanging around with my head up
upside down its a pity, i cant seem to find someone
who's as pretty and lovely as you............. "

how can i be sure if i get it right ;D

I'll make a wild guess, Palisades Park by Freddie Cannon?

this is a little more commercial than that.

If i told you who it was by you would get it straight away, but think British Invasion.

There used to be a thread like this in the 70s section...

...until I killed it stone dead with a horrendously obscure lyric - oh well...!!

Them two lines above are from 'Somebody Help Me' by the excellent Spencer Davis Group...

Hopefully this won't be too obscure...either one of two artists...

'...Like the sun it shines, endlessly it shines...'

Everlasting love by the Towncriers or U2 :)

the Towncriers are an aussie band who went to no.1 with that song in 1967 i think.

I am sure there is another band there that did a version.............It might have been the Association ???




Anyway, here is my lyric :)

"So now ive lost my way, i need help to show me things to say
so give me your love, before mine fades away ............... "

Everlasting love by the Towncriers or U2 :)

Good Lord! Who let U2 loose on this one...?!!

I am sure there is another band there that did a version.............It might have been the Association ???

The one I had in mind was The Love Affair - it caused a big uproar at the time when it was revealed that the band never played on the record...

Robert Knight did the original, but it's quite insipid in comparison...

Anyway, here is my lyric :)

"So now ive lost my way, i need help to show me things to say

Annoyingly familiar...it'll come...

How bout this:
When i was a boy of 17, I had a girl she was my queen, if she comes I'll know not when, when she goes I'll know, so baby until then lock me away....

World without love by Peter and Gordon?

no this one was solved, its "somebody help me" by The Spencer Davis group"

Hopefully this won't be too obscure...

Please tell me something, have you met an angel?

Well done, Paul  ;)

Not sure what your one is though....!

Not sure what your one is though....!


Oh no! A nobscurity! I've killed the thread!

if it helps, the song i chose was on one of the albums linked to the program "tour of duty".

It was a 1980's Tv show based on one American platoons experience during the Vietnam war.

'Here Comes My Baby' - Tremeloes

...which was a Cat Stevens original and he despised the Trem's version because they 'jollied it up'...bet he never despised the royalty payment!

I met their guitarist, Alan Blakley, at a party several years ago (he was a relative of my best friend's wife) and he was a smashing bloke to talk to - no pretensions whatsoever...

Sadly, he's no longer with us...another victim of cancer...

Apologies for that bit of long-windedness...here's another classic...

Heh! Pictoral clue, bj26...that makes it clearer - thanks for that!

It's 'I'm Gonna Love You Too' - The Hullabaloos

Despite their 'Britishness' they never had a hit here...but the song made a bit of a comeback in the 70s when Blondie recorded it (on 'Parallel Lines' if memory serves...)

Feelin' Alright-Traffic

One night a week is plenty enough

I was thinking more along the lines of 'You've Got Your Troubles' by The Fortunes for holicman's lyric...

After banging my head against the wall I remember that it says something like "then I'll tell you about
Phaedra and how she gave me life"  It is Leonard Cohenish but I don't think it was him and I forget who.

So far, so good,the line mentioned by Danoot is also in the song...I may not reveal it unless you get at least the song or artist(s)*    *THAT'S A CLUE

'You Were On My Mind'

Crispian St. Peters had the hit in Britain with a straight pop arrangement, but the better 'folky' version is by We Five...fantastic!

Going right back to the start of the decade for this...

I'll throw a couple of clues in...if no-one gets it, then let it drop...

Previous line to the above goes...

'Who in the world would have ever known what Columbus could do...'

It was a massive hit in 1960, and the guy's only other hit was the original version of 'Handy Man' earlier that same year...

The groundbreaking 'Runaway' by the brilliant, yet troubled, Del Shannon...

(For the uninitiated, you should also check out his cover of 'From Me To You', arguably as good as The Beatles' original...)

Fast forward a year and a fraction, and you'll come across this little gem...

'Why don't you come out to my twist party...'

Rats!  I never know these 60's lyrics that you guys post!  :-\\

Hey! Don't fret, Karen...you've done fantastically well so far...

You mean with the two lyrics that I have managed to get?  ::)

I do much better with 70's and 80's, but it seems no one is interested in playing those anymore...

Here's a wild guess - Let's Twist Again Like We Did Last Summer by Chubby Checker?

Good guess sir, it's from 'that era', but not right...

The old Dire Straits song? No, , they wasn't around in the 60s, karen (although some unkind souls may say it certainly seemed like they was!)

In actual fact, this isn't a 'twist' record (it's too slow for a start!) and I've mentioned the group in one of my previous questions...

The one I was thinking of was more of a Beach Boys sound than Dire Straits

Is it by Jan and Dean?  If not, how bout a clue, please.

great lyrics paul, i am really stumped on this one.

Im thinking like Bj26 along the lines of Jan and dean.
Im gonna have a guess with "little old lady from Passadena. ( I really dont like that song)  LOL.

Its either that or sun sun sun by the sunrays. (which is a good song)

Not Jan & Dean and not The Sunrays (great song, btw!) but it was a group (although later, the focus would shift to one person within that group...)

How 'bout if I put in the backing vocals (in brackets)...?

'...why don't you come out (come out) to my twist party...'

Title? Think Spanish wine...
