It's Calendar Girl by Neil Sedaka. We saw Neil Sedaka many years ago at the fair.

Ok, here's one~

"But I don't dare knock on her door
cause her daddy is my boss man."

Down In The Boonbocks--Billy Joe Royal

Everybody in the crowd is there,
But you won't let me make the scene.

Party Lights by Claudine Clark and Maureen Gray

 

[RuthD]

I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known

At Last--Joni Mitchell

An easy one--and this is dedicated to Mary Traveres--may she rest in peace.

Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow wheneer they came,

Puff, the magic dragon by Peter, Paul & Mary

Ok, here's one~

" So turn your radio way down low
and get near it..."

A Very Special Love Song--Charlie Rich

We're gonna mash potato to a jukebox tune
Park your car 'neath an August moon

 

[kaykay9.0]

clueless on that one, Rich.

Female singer--summer "away from school" song

I cheated again! I googled it. I would've never come up with that! I'm not familiar with the song. I 'm not going to post it and we can see if someone else can get it with those additional clues! (without googling like I did!)

 

[Rich48]

Go for it!

V a c a t i o n by Connie Francis.

ok, here's one...
and it's pretty easy....

Time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much

 

[Rich48]

Unchained Melody--many artists!

People around every corner
They seem to smile and say

 

[kaykay9.0]

Right again, Rich! I was actually thinking of the Righteous Brothers about Unchained Melody. I guess a lot of people have done it though.

Song is ~ Ferry Cross the Mercy. I didn't know the singer of it, however.

I figured that, but many have done it. For something different, do a search on youtube for Unchained Melody Vito.

Right song--done by Gerry and the Pacemakers.

See the way he walks down the street
Watch the way he shuffles his feet

He's a Rebel by the Crystals. I knew the title of the song. googled the group.

Here's one for ya~
I can still feel the breeze
as it rustles through the trees
and misty memories of days gone by...

 

[Rich48]

Right answer--almost! Big lol. The song, He's A Rebel was The Crystals biggest hit; however, guess what--it is NOT them on the record! Great rock and roll trivia. Phil Spector found the song, and knew that it was perfect for the group; but they were completely across the country, and refused to rush back to record the song. Phil feared that someone else would grab the song and record it, so he had a studio group record it, but released it as done by the Crystals. The studio group was Darlene Love and the Blossoms (Phil later married Darlene!).

Answer--How Can You Mend A Broken Heart The Beegees

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.

Interesting trivia!
Ok, it's Janis Joplin's "Me & My Bobby McGee"

Are you going to make me get really obscure, Rich? I don't know if this one is easy or obscure, but here it is~

Her hair is soft and her eyes are oh, so blue...

 

[Rich48]

You did get obscure with that the--it's The King, with She's Not You

Here is a hard one. Hint--it's one of the best doowop records ever, but is not well known.

Tell your ma (tell your ma)
Tell your pa (tell your pa)
We goin' back
To Arkansas

I don't care if you have to google it--it's ok!!

Village of Love by the Fabulous Twilights (definitely googled! LOL)

Sometime in the evening
You're sitting there by the fireside...
