Sherry, I have 16 Candles
 For You Belong to Me
This is Dedicated to the One I Love
He's the Leader of the Pack
So, Please Mr. Postman
Take Good Care of My Baby
He's Where the Boys Are
And Stand by Me

Dawn
Are you Lonesome Tonight?
I'm Sorry
I Wonder Why
Big Girls Don't Cry
Our Day Will Come
I Want To Be Bobby's Girl
But My Boyfriend's Back

Hey, Paula
You're Sixteen
I have Tears On My Pillow
Since I Don't Have You
Because You've Lost That Loving Feeling
And You've Really Got a Hold on Me
 Now All I Have To Do Is Dream
But Will You Still Love Me, Tomorrow?

I'm Goin' Out of My Head
Because It's My Party
But tomorrow, It's Judy's Turn to Cry
I Get Around
For My Guy
And the Duke of Earl
I Will Follow Him
Stay

Help Me Rhonda
Be My Dream Girl
We're in Surf City
And there are no California Girls
On Broadway
So take your G.T.O.
And do The Twist
 It's Mashed Potato Time
There'll be Dancing in the street
When The Lion Sleeps Tonight
 But now, Daddy's Home
 It's time for La Bamba
 So be my Baby Love
Meet me in the Chapel of Love
 For This Magic Moment
And, please, Save the Last Dance for Me.

This is from my original published August, 2006.
*LORA* M. Jun 16, 2007, 12:19am EDT
Wow this is really cute. I love it
Jennifer F. Jun 16, 2007, 12:27am EDT
I sang each song in my head when I read this. I love those days!
Debbie G. Jun 16, 2007, 12:40am EDT
Kathryn this was fun! You used alot of tunes I haven't heard for ages!
Peter Edgerton Jun 16, 2007, 12:46am EDT
'k, drag out the '45's...
Kathryn E. Jun 16, 2007, 12:54am EDT
I had been watching an infomercial on this topic and as the songs rolled by, I quickly typed the titles of about 40 of them; an hour later, i put this together. I have a few more from last summer in this general vein and will put them up, sometime. Probably when we have a heat wave; it gets very difficult to think.
greg smith Jun 16, 2007, 1:03am EDT
Must have been a slow TV day.........
doria c. Jun 16, 2007, 1:12am EDT
LOL did all this happend at " Hotel california or "Heart Break Hotel"
Kathryn E. Jun 16, 2007, 1:15am EDT
Greg: at 11 p.m. on certain channels, that is all you get. Infomercials.

doria: Could have been either hotel, really. don't you think? Lol.
Larry H. Jun 16, 2007, 1:36am EDT
I never got into that kind of music, Not into rock n roll type music..I am a country boy.
lynn a. Jun 16, 2007, 1:43am EDT
Fun. I enjoyed. Thanks
Minnette M. Jun 16, 2007, 2:18am EDT
Wonderful! This must have taken FOREVER - Well done!
Kathryn E. Jun 16, 2007, 2:22am EDT
Thank you Larry, lynn and Minnette.
Kathryn E. Jun 16, 2007, 2:24am EDT
Thank you Larry, lynn and Minnette.
doria c. Jun 16, 2007, 2:31am EDT
Sure why not both....lol
Mugg Muggles, "The Man With the Jive" Jun 16, 2007, 2:44am EDT
A bit of bizarre trivia- Doc Pomus, the composer of Save the Last Dance for Me was a victim of Infantile Paralysis (Polio).
Kathryn E. Jun 16, 2007, 6:03am EDT
Mugg, I did not know that...A lot of people born during that time were. My cousin, my Brother in law, my old boyfriend, and I'm sure you know a few, too. Lucky for me, I was born a bit after all that happened.
donna h. Jun 16, 2007, 6:14am EDT
wow I did not know that either
Leslie ~ from NYC ~ R. Jun 16, 2007, 6:22am EDT
Wow! That's a labor of love.
I'm with Jennifer - I could hear each song as I passed by the title.
It's dating me for sure!
Jack C. Jun 16, 2007, 7:07am EDT
These brought back memories of Bayside High School. Class of 1963. Especially: Hey, Paula, Big Girls Don't Cry and Bobby's Girl. I remember learning how to do The Twist. But, why didn't you include Will You Love Me Tomorrow? There's something about that song and the Shirelles that I just love!
robert w. Jun 16, 2007, 7:27am EDT
Great creativity! Brought back many memories to me.
God bless, rpw
Kathryn E. Jun 16, 2007, 8:51am EDT
It was not that difficult; the infomercial was about an hour, and I type quickly; each song was a few seconds and there were probably 100 songs in all that I typed; these just sort of came to me, as I looked them over. Probably another hour arranging this, but I was watching TV at the time, with my daughter, so it was fun, too.
Cheryl W. Jun 16, 2007, 9:08am EDT
I remember this one, Kathryn. Loved it then and love it now! Brings back memories...
Tab B. Jun 16, 2007, 9:43am EDT
excellent, KEO, I enjoyed each one of the songs! You did a great job compiling it into a story-list!

Michael Hawkins Jun 16, 2007, 9:46am EDT
They don't make 'em like that anymore!
Michael Daube Jun 16, 2007, 9:46am EDT
kathryn, all of these songs are great memories for me. Thank you for a walk in time to the moments of beautiful heartache as a Teenager in Love.....
Sue * Jun 16, 2007, 10:47am EDT
This was such fun. I wrote about The Summer of Love yesterday, and this plays right into the nostalgic mood I can't shake off after researching my article. Thanks for the memories.
Kathryn E. Jun 16, 2007, 11:17am EDT
It is a fun thing to do sometime if you get the chance. I have a few more, perfect for summertime. Not that it is summertime yet, but I was just thinking it might be fun for a sunny (hopefully) Saturday afternoon.
ann c. Jun 16, 2007, 12:25pm EDT
Brings back a lot of memories and fun too!
Dan (Cowboy Up) V. Jun 16, 2007, 1:51pm EDT
Real neat! Lots of great songs in there!
Todd L Jun 16, 2007, 3:48pm EDT
Such a shame we don't still live in such simple times...Cool retrospective..
Marge H. Jun 16, 2007, 4:44pm EDT
Ahh yes, I remember them all well. I sang Bobby's Girl at an in-school talent show. Thanks for the memories.
Nina S. Jun 16, 2007, 4:59pm EDT
Wow! what memories! I loved the 60's.
Kathryn E. Jun 16, 2007, 5:16pm EDT
Oh yes, such simple times would be great....

Thanks all for enjoying this...Back later.
flit . Jun 16, 2007, 6:52pm EDT
I think that this would be a hilarious song for some artist to do! All it needs is an arrangement of its own....!
Mae w. Jun 17, 2007, 12:43am EDT
I remember when that was the fad putting song titles in letter form .. lots of fun.
Sheila Deeth Jun 17, 2007, 3:34am EDT
This was fun, and full of memories. Thanks.
Sheila Deeth Jun 17, 2007, 3:35am EDT
The memories are now playing their tunes in my head.
Kathryn E. Jun 17, 2007, 4:33am EDT
Thanks all.

Interestingly, tonight I saw the same infomercial as last year. It was so great to see and hear these clips being played again.
Padmavani Karkera Jun 18, 2007, 4:17am EDT
strange.. i am missing 'oh carol' in this pot pour ri... i guess it's just because that it happens to be my hum of the day... :)

very nice... thank you
Kathryn E. Jun 18, 2007, 5:58am EDT
Thanks so much Padmavani....
Kathryn E. Jun 19, 2007, 6:40am EDT
Not long, Rose. I was watching an Infomercial last year (and saw the same infomercial the other night on Songs from The Malt Shop era) and as they played the songs (with videos - very cool and interesting to watch) I typed all the titles. Then, I selected and arranged them as you see. About 60 minutes total, half of it was TV time.
Karolyn Q. Jun 22, 2007, 8:29pm EDT
I loved this!
