#23 La-La Means I Love You (The Delfonics) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Many guys have come to you
With a line that wasn’t true
And you passed them by
(Passed them by)
Though you’re in the center ring
And their lines don’t mean a thing
Why don’t you let me try?
(Let me try)🪄
Now, I don’t wear a diamond ring
I don’t even have a song to sing
All I know is🪄
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
Oh, baby, please now
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you🪄
If I ever saw a girl
That I needed in this world
You are the one for me
(One for me)
Let me hold you in my arms
Girl, and thrill you with my charms
I’m sure you will see
(You will see)🪄
The things I am sayin’ are true
And the way I explain them to you
Listen to me🪄
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
Ooh, baby
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you🪄
The things I am sayin’ are true
And the way I explain them to you
Yes to you
Listen to me🪄
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
Oh, you’ll have to understand now
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
Come on and take my hand

1968 Top 10 Highest-Grossing & Award Winning Films

  • Funny Girl 👍🏼
    • 26th Golden Globe Awards Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical: Barbara Streisand
    • 41st Academy Awards Best Actress: Barbara Streisand

“I enjoyed rewatching this film from an earlier time in my life. Not sure when I first saw it. A typical Barbara Streisand musical poking fun at herself. The skating vaudeville number was one of the best scenes. Pretty dated and seeing it again I realize times have changed, and not nearly fast enough for women. I enjoyed the film, but it would not be on my repeat list.”

#20 Dance To The Music (Sly & The Family Stone) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Sing, get on up and dance to the music
Get on up and dance to the music🪄
Dance to the Music, dance to the music
Dance to the Music, dance to the music🪄
All we need is a drummer
For people who only need a beat, yeah
I’m gonna add a little guitar
And make it easy to move your feet🪄
I’m gonna add some bottom
So that the dancers just won’t hide🪄
You might like to hear my organ
I said ride Sally ride, now
(Cynthia, what? Gerry, what?)
If I could hear the horns blow
Cynthia on the throne, yeah🪄
Listen to me
Cynthia and Jerry got a message that’s sayin’
All the squares, go home, yeah-yeah🪄
Listen to the voices🪄
Dance to the Music, dance to the music
Dance to the Music, dance to the music

#19 Midnight Confessions (The Grass Roots) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
The sound of your footsteps
Tell me that you’re near
Your soft gentle motion, babe
Brings out a need in me that nobody hears, except🪄
In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you🪄
There’s a little gold ring you wear on your hand
Makes me understand
There’s another before me, you’ll never be mine
I’m wastin’ my time🪄
Staggering through the daytime
Your image on my mind
I’m passing so close beside you, baby
‘Cause sometimes the feelings are so hard to hide, but🪄
In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you🪄
There’s a little gold ring you wear on your hand
Makes me understand
There’s another before me, you’ll never be mine
I’m wastin’ my time🪄
In my midnight confession
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to🪄
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

#18 Grazing In The Grass (Hugh Masekela) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Sure is mellow grazin’ in the grass (grazin’ in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)
What a trip just watchin’ as the world goes past (grazin’ in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)
There are too many groovy things to see while grazin’ in the grass (grazin’ in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)
Flowers with colours for takin’, everything outta sight (grazin’ in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)🪄
The sun peekin’ out between the leaves (grazin’ in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)
And the bir-ir-ir-irds dartin’ in and out of the trees (grazin’ in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)🪄
Everything here is so clear, you can see it
And everything here is so real, you can feel it
And it’s real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real
Can you dig it?🪄
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, we can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let’s dig it. Can you dig it, baby?
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, we can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let’s dig it. Can you dig it, baby?🪄
—— instrumental break ——🪄
The sun peekin’ out between the leaves (grazin’ in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)
And the bir-ir-ir-irds dartin’ in and out of the trees (grazin’ in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)🪄
Everything here is so clear, you can see it
And everything here is so real, you can feel it
And it’s real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real
Can you dig it?🪄
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, we can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let’s dig it. Can you dig it, baby?
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, we can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let’s dig it. Can you dig it, baby?

#17 Stoned Soul Picnic (The 5th Dimension) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Can you surry, can you picnic, whoa?
Can you surry, can you picnic?
Come on, come on and surry down to a stoned soul picnic
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
There’ll be lots of time and wine
Red yellow honey, sassafras and moonshine
Red yellow honey, sassafras and moonshine
Stoned soul, stoned soul, whoa🪄
Come on, come on and surry down to a stoned soul picnic
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
Rain and sun come in again
And from the sky come the Lord and the lightning
And from the sky come the Lord and the lightning
Stoned soul, stoned soul
Surry on, soul🪄
Surry, surry, surry, surry🪄
There’ll be trains of blossoms (There’ll be trains of blossoms)
There’ll be trains of music (There’ll be music)
There’ll be trains of trust, trains of golden dust
Come along and surry on, sweet trains of thought, surry on down
Can you surry, can you surry, can you surry?🪄
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
There’ll be lots of time and wine
Red yellow honey, sassafras and moonshine (Red yellow honey)
Red yellow honey, sassafras and moonshine, moonshine
Stoned soul, yeah
Surry on, soul🪄
Surry, surry, surry, surry
Surry, surry, surry, surry
Surry, surry, surry, surry

#16 Cry Like A Baby (The Box Tops) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
When I think about the good love you gave me
I cry like a baby
Livin’ without you is drivin’ me crazy
I cry like a baby
Well, I know now that you’re not a play thing
Not a toy or a puppet on a string🪄
As I look back on a love so sweet now
I cry like a baby
Every road is a lonely street
I cry like a baby
I know now that you’re not a play thing
Not a toy or a puppet on a string🪄
Today we passed on the street
And you just walked on by
My heart just fell to my feet
And once again I began to cry🪄
When I think about the good love you gave me
I cry like a baby (Cry like a baby)
Livin’ without you is drivin’ me crazy
I cry like a baby (Cry like a baby)🪄
I know now that you’re not a play thing
I cry like a baby (Just like a little bitty baby now)
As I look back on a love so sweet now
I cry like a baby (Just like a little bitty baby now)🪄
Every road is a lonely street
I cry like a baby (Cry like a baby)
My heart just fell to my feet, you know
I cried like a baby (Cry like a baby)
You left the water runnin’ now (Cry like a baby)
I cried like a baby (Cry like a baby)

#15 Young Girl (Gary Puckett & The Union Gap) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You’re much too young, girl🪄
With all the charms of a woman
You’ve kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe you’re old enough
To give me love
And now it hurts to know the truth🪄
Woah, oh, oh
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
You’d better run, girl
You’re much too young, girl🪄
Beneath your perfume and make-up
You’re just a baby in disguise
And though you know
That it’s wrong to be
Alone with me
That ‘come on’ look is in your eyes🪄
Woah, oh, oh
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You’re much too young, girl🪄
So hurry home to your mama
I’m sure she wonders where you are
Get out of here
Before I have the time
To change my mind
‘Cause I’m afraid we’ll go too far🪄
Woah, oh, oh
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
You’d better run, girl
You’re much too young, girl🪄
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line🪄
You’d better run, girl
You’re much too young, girl
Young girl
Get out of my mind
