What is your favorite 50's-60's song?

[Beanie]

DH is making me a CD and he is playing all my favorite songs!! I love the song "Build Me Up Buttercup", which is playing now! "Cupid" is another favorite of mine, which was on before!

What is your favorite 50's-60's song?

 

[paras4ri]

How about Summer in the City by the Lovin' Spoonful......especially in these dark, cold days of winter.

LOL Beanie,

Before I read your post, I was thinking Build me up Buttercup !!! From the time I was a young girl, my father has always danced to this song with me at weddings, parties, receptions, etc. I am so lucky that he is still around and young and healthy, but I will have those memories for always!

I love that song!

Ohhhhh, good question!! There are so many! I would have to say Unchained Melody or Stand By Me.

Wonderful World

Sam Cooke

Don't know much about history,
Don't know much biology.
Don't know much about a science book,
Don't know much about the french I took.
But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me, too,
What a wonderful world this would be.

Don't know much about geography,
Don't know much trigonometry.
Don't know much about algebra,
Don't know what s slide rule is for.
But I know that one and one is two,
And if this one could be with you,
What a wonderful world this would be.


I don't claim to be an 'A' student,
But I'm tryin' to be.
For maybe by being an 'A'-student, baby,
I can win your love for me.


Don't know much about history,
Don't know much biology.
Don't know much about a science book,
Don't know much about the french I took.
But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me, too,
Wat a wonderful world this would be.


History
Biology
Science book
French I took.
But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me, too,
What a wonderful world this would be.

I've always loved "Build Me up Buttercup" too!!
Another one of my all time faves is...........

Brown Eyed Girl
Van Morrison - 1967
Words and music by Van Morrison

Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.

Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.

Do you remember when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
