I'm loving these columns, and this one was particularly fantastic! However, I couldn't help but notice the glaring omission of one of the all-time classic rock & roll songs from even the honorable mentions section:

“WIPEOUT!!!!!!!!”

ALL the songs listed above (yes, all of them) are why the 60s were so musically great. Today's sounds do not compare, period.

“Can't Help Falling in Love with You” was always the last song played at my junior high school dances, and rightly so— Sooooooooooooo romantic and such a thrill to the 13-year-old heart. My friend Sandy and I would play the 45 over and over and over and over again at sleepovers while we mooned over our latest heart throbs. It might have cemented my notions of romance for a lifetime.

Don't feel too bad for Roy–he didn't have to wait long before “Running Scared” became his first #1, which is why I dislodged him from a place on my list.

Besides, the time period when “Only the Lonely” was a hit was the era of Goofy Greats — besides “Itsy Bitsy,” other big hits around then included “Alley Oop,” “Mr. Custer,” “Running Bear,” “Sink the Bismarck,” and “Mule Skinner Blues.”

I read somewhere that Only the Lonely was stopped in its tracks by that stupid annoying novelty Yellow Polka Dot Bikini song. (As heard in a special K ad) Ick. Roy was so robbed! He would get is revenge by putting Oh Pretty Women into people's head for 40 years straight. I guess.

“Judy In Disguise (With Glasses)” makes my bowels clench. It's just so… so… Stupid.
