Subject: Challenging lyrics quiz (1955-59) (1 left!)
OK, if CeramicsFanatic did it for the 1970's and 1980's, then I'm going to do it for the 1950's and the 1960's. This is the 1950's version, which only covers 1955 through 1959, for two reasons--Joel Whitburn's site only goes back to 1955, and the rock era began in 1955. All of these lyrics lines came from #1 songs from 1955 to 1959, as verified by Joel Whitburn. I will give you two words from the lyrics from a #1 song that came out between 1955 and 1959, and you identify the song by title and artist. Limit three. NO LIMIT!

#9 - "Jim Dooley" - the Kingston Trio. (They did another song, "The Reverend Mister Black", that has the same words, but it was never #1, and was also early Sixties, not Fifties.)

Actually it's "Tom Dooley," but I'll give it to you…
Subject: Re: Challenging lyrics quiz (1955-59)
You're generous. I can't believe I said "Jim Dooley". Jim Dooley was a TV personality in Miami when I was in grade school (many years ago). He had a kids' show, and also did commercials for Miami tourism on northern stations. Now that I think of it, I seem to remember some kids I knew doing a parody of Tom Dooley, "Hang down your head, Jim Dooley", (40 years before amiright!) and it must have stuck on a loose synapse in my long-term memory. Sorry about that!

I see where #11 is still unguessed, and nobody's even tried in over 2 weeks. How about a hint or two?
