1. Venus - Shocking Blue 2
2. I Think I Love You - The Partridge Family 2.5
3. I Want You Back - The Jackson 5 2.5
5. Let It Be - The Beatles 5! This is one of my favorite Beatles songs.
6. Cracklin' Rosie - Neil Diamond 3
7. Spill The Wine - Eric Burdon & War
8. In The Summertime - Mungo Jerry 1.5; it gets on my nerves after awhile and is too repetitive for my taste.
9. Hitchin' A Ride - Vanity Fare 2.5
10. Cecilia - Simon & Garfunkel 5! love this one.
11. 25 Or 6 To 4 - Chicago 3; I think Dave Barry insulted this song in his Book of Bad Songs, but I like it alright. :)
13. Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours - Stevie Wonder 2.5
15. Everything Is Beautiful - Ray Stevens 1.5; a little too saccharine for my taste.
16. Make It With You - Bread 1; I have problems with Bread...
17. I'll Be There - The Jackson 5 1.5
18. Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head - B.J. Thomas 1; I cannot stand this song, and it never fails that whenever I hear (or hear of) this song, it gets stuck in my head. It wouldn't be so bad today if I didn't have a large exam to study for. Thanks, CF. :)
19. My Sweet Lord - George Harrison 2
20. (They Long To Be) Close To You - The Carpenters 5; so sweet! although Dave Barry said, "why would you want to be around someone who causes birds to appear? didn't Alfred Hitchcock do a movie about this?!" :)

It's a ballad jaytee. You might remember a (hideous) version done by Mariah Carey a few years back. ;)

Written By: Paul_UK on 09/28/03 at 10:50 a.m.
If that's just a random list, CF...may I suggest you go into the compiling business? Fine selection...
1. Venus - Shocking Blue 4, definitive version of the song...quite funky too, in its own little way...
2. I Think I Love You - Partridge Family 4, by any other artist this would have been average, but Dave's vocals make all the difference...
3. I Want You Back - Jackson 5 4, fine debut by the gang...innovative bass riff has been sampled many times by lesser mortals...
4. Vehicle - Ides Of March 5, blistering horn-laden thing with echoes of BS&T...fantastic...
5. Let It Be - Beatles 3, never been that fond of this...mind you, neither has Macca after he heard what Spector done to it and 'The Long & Winding Road'...
6. Cracklin' Rosie - Neil Diamond 5, absolute corker of a song, and a great performance too...
7. Spill The Wine - Eric Burdon & War 4, strange combination (and a bit of a strange song), but works well...
8. In The Summertime - Mungo Jerry 4, fun song and well-remembered...Ray Dorset (the sideburned one and writer) has probably made more money out of this song being used in adverts than anything else...!
9. Hitchin' A Ride - Vanity Fare 4, catchy and likeable piece of Brit bubblegum...bigger hit in US than here...
10. Cecilia - Simon & Garfunkel 4, another catchy and likeable effort...not their best by any means, but not their worst either...
11. 25 Or 6 To 4 - Chicago 4, stormer of a song propelled by horns and a great vocal...a rare UK Top Ten record for 'em as well...!
12. Tighter Tighter - Alive & Kicking 5, confident and ultra-catchy number...love it!
13. Signed Sealed Delivered (I'm Yours) - Stevie Wonder 4, still thumping out likeable pieces of fluff like this before he went all 'serious'...
14. Candida - Dawn 3, not bad, but lacks a certain something that 'Knock Three Times' and 'Ribbon' had...
15. Everything Is Beautiful - Ray Stevens 4, starts off sickly with all the kiddie voices, but rapidly develops into an extremely fine song...
16. Make It With You - Bread 5, Essential! The perfect song for an intense game of 'gazing' with your loved one...!
17. I'll Be There - Jackson 5 5, another superb song and their most coherent performance of their early years...yes, mandamoo - why Mariah thought fit to throw vocal hysterics into her version is beyond me too...!
18. Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head - B J Thomas 4, marvellous song from a marvellous film...poor old B J was wiped out over here by a version from Sacha Distel, which took away a lot of the song's coolness and charm...
19. My Sweet Lord - George Harrison 4, good debut although the kudos was tarnished by that court case...does tend to go needlessly over the top towards the end...
20. (They Long To Be) Close To You - Carpenters 4, good song which was enhanced by that voice...superb...

I'm sure I must know it - but just can't think of it - I keep singing the song "Reach Out".
I try not to listen to anything by Mariah Carey!
