Another hit by Rudy Clark, this time teamed with Arthur Resnick. Good Lovin' was originally recorded by The Olympics (Western Movies) in 1965, barely scratching the Top 100, then The Young Rascals -- they were still "Young" at the time -- took a faster, more frantic version to #1 the following year. Later on, became a staple for The Grateful Dead.

The song was written by Alex North and Hy Zaret for the forgettable 1955 prison movie Unchained ...but Unchained Melody was nominated for Best Original Song and it lives on as one of the most recorded songs of all time. (BTW, Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing won the Oscar.)

3. "Is it in his eyes? Oh no, you'll be deceived. Is it in his eyes? Oh no, he'll make believe" is from The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss), Betty Everett (1964)

Cher's version of Shoop, Shoop was recorded for the 1990 film Mermaids. (And I'll add that Betty's duet with Jerry Butler of Let It Be Me is mystical.)

Brown Eyed Girl was Van Morrison's first single after leaving his position as lead singer for the Belfast band Them (G, L, O, R, I, A Gloria.) This was originally written as Brown Skinned Girl, Morrison changing the title and words when he recorded it. A for-radio version of the song was released which excised the lyrics "making love in the green grass", replacing them with "laughin' and a-runnin'" from a previous verse. Morrison claims that due to the contract he signed with Bang Records without legal advice, he has never received any royalties for for writing or recording this song.

Lyrics & stuff: http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1811
More stuff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Guy%27s_in_Love_with_You

Alpert originally sang This Guy's in Love with You on a 1968 Tijuana Brass television special. In response to overwhelming viewer telephone calls, the song was released as a single and reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard charts, remaining on top for four weeks. It was not only Alpert's first #1 record, but it was also the first #1 record for his A&M record label. (Alpert was the "A"; Jerry Moss was the "M".) In 1979 Alpert would become the first (and only) artist to reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with both a vocal performance and an instrumental performance (Rise.)

8. "You make my heart sing, you make everything groovy" is from Wild Thing, The Troggs (1966), Senator Bobby (1967)
Hint: Sendak knows where they are

Lyrics & stuff: http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1791
More stuff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Thing_(Chip_Taylor_song)

Written by Chip Taylor, who also wrote Angel of the Morning. The Troggs version prominently features an ocarina. Because of a distribution dispute, their single was released on two competing labels: Atco and Fontana. Because both versions were taken from the identical master recording, Billboard combined the sales, making it the only single to reach #1 simultaneously for two companies. The 1967 version by Senator Bobby (The Hardly-Worthit Players) was done as a sendup to then U.S. Senator Robert Kennedy.

9. "Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble" is from Michelle, The Beatles (1965)
Hint: Ma belle amie?
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBwGmOexmNo
Lyrics & stuff: http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=91
More stuff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_(song)

This French lyric "sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble" and the English translation "...are words that go together well" both appear in the song. Michelle was introduced on the Rubber Soul album, but was never released as a single. It won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1966, which was seen as something of a triumph for the Beatles, who had been nominated the previous year in nine categories, but were totally shut out.

10. "Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes" is from Mrs. Robinson, Simon & Garfunkel (1968)
Hint: Benjamin ♥ Elaine

More stuff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrs._Robinson

Only snippets of the final version of the song (first appearing in the 1968 album Bookends) were written when Mrs. Robinson was included in The Graduate. According to a 2005 Variety article.... Paul Simon played for director Mike Nichols a few notes of a new song he had been working on. "It's not for the movie... it's a song about times past — about Mrs. Roosevelt and Joe DiMaggio and stuff." Nichols advised Simon, "It's now about Mrs. Robinson, not Mrs. Roosevelt."

The song also went to #1 with two covers: All Saints (UK) and Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mýa, and Pink ("Moulin Rouge" film soundtrack, US) The phrase "voulez-vous coucher avec moi?" in an English context can be traced back to the 1922 e.e. cummings poem "little ladies more."

Went to #1 ten weeks before Jim Croce was killed in a plane crash in Natchitoches, Louisiana on Sept. 20, 1973. The inspiration for the song was someone that JC had known in the U.S. National Guard in 1966: "I met him at Fort Jackson, South Carolina.....one evening he turned around and said he was really fed up and tired. He went AWOL, and then came back at the end of the month to get his pay check. They put handcuffs on him and took him away. Just to listen to him talk and see how 'bad' he was, I knew someday I was gonna write a song about him."

Who Am I? quiz answers

Scoring: Give yourself a point if you correctly identified the personality. Then, if and only if you got the personality right, give yourself another point if you correctly identified whether he died in the 1960's. So if you missed the face, it's a zero for that question. (The original quiz is posted here.)


1. Secretary of State Dean Acheson
Died during the 60's? NO, 1971

2. Pro football player Eugene "Big Daddy" Lipscomb
YES, 1963

3. Composer/conductor Leonard Bernstein
NO, 1990

4. Astronaut Virgil "Gus" Grissom
YES, 1967

5. General Douglas MacArthur
YES, 1964

6. Singer Nat "King" Cole
YES, 1965

7. Dr. Albert Schweitzer
YES, 1965

8. Actor James Dean
NO, 1955

9. Author/philosopher Aldous Huxley
YES, 1963

10. Poet Robert Frost
YES, 1963

11. Comedian Lenny Bruce
YES, 1966

12. Film director Alfred Hitchcock
NO, 1980

And a big "Way to go!" if you recognized Eugene Lipscomb or Aldous Huxley. Also, recognizing an elderly Douglas MacArthur or a shriveled Robert Frost is pretty good too.
