What oldies but goodies (1960's here) in your book are a yay or nay? ?

[Amy10223]

Here are my Yays:

The Contours, Do You Love Me? ; The Marcels, Blue Moon; and Richie Valens, Come On Everybody.

Nays: Presley, I Got Stung; The Troggs, Wild Thing; and The Cordettes, Lollipop.

I wasn't able to upload any of these, sorry. I was hoping to show the younger folks here what was "good" music of the 60's.

When my wife and I actually liked each other, I'd sing to her "Do You Love Me?" by The Contours, but do so in a fake voice like I was a talking bee.

What always cracked her up was the pause after

"now that I can dance, dance."

and then

"Watch me now. Work, work. ..."

Let me help you out...

"Blue Moon" by The Marcels.

I think you mean "Come On, Let's Go" by Ritchie Valens...

I actually like "Lollipop" by The Chordettes.
I sing a parody variation of it to my dogs all the time.

Now that I am 60, I am really appreciating all the stuff from the 50s that my father had and I listen to 50s Gold on SiriusXM quite a bit.

Here's another favorite, "The Book of Love" by The Monotones.

Thanks for posting this great song, for some reason I wasn't able to.

[Amy10223]

Whoops--that was for the post above yours. Thanks so much for posting them. I do like "The Book of Love", but not the rest. :D

[Amy10223]

Thanks for posting this!

[abc3643]

I can upload whatever song you wish. Just ask.

[Amy10223]

I think it only happens when you ask a question here, you soemtimes can't add a file. I kept getting the same message as you did in the song you added above, The Book of Love" when I tried.

[abc3643]

Oh, well that's a YouTube setting by the channel owner. Some YouTubers only want their videos to be seen on YouTube. I suspect that this is because they will get paid more. Many of the bigger companies do that. In that particular case, the guy who owns that channel is "Frank O' The Mountain" and he has a lot of 50s and 60s videos.

I see, didn't know that. Thanks!

Blue Moon is fantastic.

My YAY is Petula Clark's original Downtown

I don't have a good list of nays.

[Amy10223]

I remember this song very well. I loved it as a kid and would always sing it.

Thank you for MHO!
