#77 Revolution (The Beatles) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I take two, okay🪄
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all wanna change the world🪄
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out, in🪄
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right? (Ah, shu-bi-do, ah)
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right? (Ah, shu-bi-do, ah)
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right? (Ah, shu-bi-do, ah)🪄
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We all doing what we can🪄
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is, brother, you have to wait🪄
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right? (Ah, shu-bi-do, ah)
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right? (Ah, shu-bi-do, ah)
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right? (Ah, shu-bi-do, ah)🪄
You say you’ll change the constitution
Well, you know
We’d all love to change your head (ah, shu-bi-do, ah)
You tell me it’s the institution
Well, you know
You better free your mind instead (ah, shu-bi-do, ah)🪄
If you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow🪄
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right? (Ah, shu-bi-do, ah)
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right? (Ah, shu-bi-do, ah)
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right? (Ah, shu-bi-do, ah)🪄
All, all, all, all (ah, shu-bi-do, ah)
All, all, all, all right (ah, shu-bi-do, ah)
All right, all right (ah, shu-bi-do, ah)
All right, all right (ah, shu-bi-do, ah)🪄
All right, all right (ah, shu-bi-do, ah)
All right, all right (ah, shu-bi-do, ah)
All right (ah, shu-bi-do, ah)🪄
All right, all right (ah, shu-bi-do, ah)
All right, all right (ah, shu-bi-do, ah)

#76 Keep Me Hangin’ On (Vanilla Fudge) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Set me free, why don’t you babe?
Get out my life, why don’t you babe?
You really don’t want me, you just keep me hanging on
You really don’t need me, you just keep me hanging on🪄
Why do you keep coming around, playing with my heart?
Why don’t you get out of my life
When seeing you just breaks my heart again
There ain’t nothing I can do about it🪄
You know I need love
Set me free, why don’t you babe?
Talkin’ ’bout love
Get out my life, why don’t now?
You really don’t want me, you just keep me hanging on🪄
Get out my life, why don’t you babe?
Get out my life, why don’t you babe?

#75 The Unicorn (The Irish Rovers) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
A long time ago, when the earth was still green
And there were more kinds of animals than you’ve ever seen
They’d run around free while the earth was being born
But the loveliest of all was the unicorn🪄
There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn🪄
Now god seen some sinnin’ and it gave him pain
And he says, “stand back, I’m going to make it rain”
He says, “hey, brother Noah, I’ll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo”🪄
And take some of them green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born
Don’t you forget my unicorn”🪄
Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started fallin’
He marched in the animals two by two
And he called out as they went through
“Hey, Lord”🪄
I’ve got your green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I’m so forlorn
I just can’t see no unicorn”🪄
Then Noah looked out through the driving rain
Them unicorns was hiding, playing silly games
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring
Oh, them silly unicorns🪄
There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, “close the doors ’cause the rain is pourin’
And we just can’t wait for no unicorns”🪄
The ark started movin’, it drifted with the tide
Them unicorns looked up from the rock and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
And that’s why you’ll never see a unicorn, to this very day🪄
You’ll see green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born
You’re never gonna see no unicorn

#74 Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day (Stevie Wonder) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Your precious sweetheart, she’s so faithful, she’s so true, oh yeah
Her dreams are tumblin’, her world is crumblin’ because of you, uh-uh
One day you’ll hurt her just once too much
And when you finally lose your tender touch, hey, hey🪄
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-day
Her feet may wander, her heart may stray, oh yeah
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-dee
You gonna send your baby straight to me🪄
I’m gonna give her all the lovin’ within my heart, oh yeah
I’m gonna patch up every single little dream you tore apart, understand me?
And when she tells you she’s cried her last tear
Heaven knows I’m gonna be somewhere near, oh yeah🪄
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-day
Her feet may wander, her heart may stray, baby
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-dee
Love’s gon’ lead your baby straight to me🪄
Yeah
Mm, yeah🪄
You’d better listen to me, yeah, yeah-yeah
Heartaches are callin’ tears are fallin’ because of you, hey, yeah
And when you’re gone, you know I’m the one to call to a rescue
Maybe you didn’t know that day🪄
You’re gonna leave her once too many times
And when you come back that girl’s gonna be mine, all mine, hey, hey🪄
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-day
Her feet may wander, her heart may stray, yeah-yeah
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-dee
Love’s gon’ send your baby straight to me, hey, hey, yeah, oh, yeah, baby
(Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-day)

#73 Goin’ Out Of My Head/Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You (The Lettermen) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Well, I think I’m goin’ out of my head
Yes, I think I’m goin’ out of my head
Over you
Over you🪄
I want you to want me
I need you so badly, I can’t think of anything but you🪄
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
You’d be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last, love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you🪄
Goin’ out of my head over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head
Day and night, night and day and night, wrong or right🪄
I love you, baby, and if it’s quite alright, I need you baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh! Pretty baby, don’t bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby, now that I’ve found you, stay
And let me love you, baby, let me love you🪄
I want you to want me
I need you so badly, I can’t think of anything but you
Goin’ out of my head over you (you’re just too good to be true)
Out of my head (can’t take my eyes off of you)
Out of my head, day and night, night and day and night, wrong or right
Night and day and night, wrong or right
Night and day and night
And I think I’m goin’ out of my… head

#72 Over You (Gary Puckett and the Union Gap) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Why am I losing sleep over you?
Reliving precious moments we knew🪄
So many days have gone by
Still I’m so lonely and I guess there’s just no getting over you
And there’s nothing I can do
But spend all of my time out of my mind
Over you🪄
Within the prison walls of my mind
There’s still apart of you left behind
And though it hurts I’ll get by
Without your loving yet I guess this just no getting over you
And there’s nothing I can do
But spend all of my time out of my mind
Over you🪄
And I guess there’s just no getting over you
And there’s nothing I can do
But spend all of my time out of my mind
Over you🪄
And I guess there’s just no getting over you
And there’s nothing I can do
But spend all of my time out of my mind

#71 I Wonder What She Is Doing Tonight (Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
If I had told her that I loved her
She would have stayed ’til who knows when
But I guess she couldn’t understand it
When I said I want to be your friend
Because a friend would never doubt you
Or ever put you uptight
And now I wonder what she’s doing tonight🪄
Oh yes, I wonder
What she’s doing tonight
Oh-oh, I wonder what she’s doing tonight🪄
We were so close but we should’ve been closer
And it’s making me feel so sad
But I tell myself I didn’t lose her
‘Cause you can’t lose a friend you never had (come on now)
Because a friend won’t say it’s over
And go out just for spite
And now I wonder what she’s doing tonight🪄
Oh yes, I wonder
What she’s doing tonight
Oh-oh, I wonder what she’s doing tonight🪄
Because a friend will always be there
If you’re wrong or if you’re right
And now I wonder what she’s doing tonight🪄
Oh yes, I wonder
What she’s doing tonight
Oh-oh, I wonder what she’s doing tonight

#68 The Fool On The Hill (Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Day after day alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him they can see that he’s just a fool
And he never gives an answer but the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down and the eyes in his head
See the world… spinning round…
Well on the way his head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him or the sounds he appears to make
And he never seems to notice but the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down and the eyes in his head
See the world… spinning round…
But nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings but the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down and the eyes in his head
See the world… spinning round…

1968 Top 10 Highest-Grossing & Award Winning Films

“I had never seen this film and thought it was not my favorite Shakespeare. Quite dumb that Juliet agrees to take a paralyzing formula from the creepy friar. Then Romeo is left out of th loop and then poisons himself. Juliet wakes up to find him dead and then stabs herself. Quite impulsive and typical of young minds not fully cooled.”

#67 I Thank You (Sam & Dave) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
(I want everybody to get up off your seat
And get your arms together, and your hands together
And give me some of that o-o-old soul clapping)🪄
You didn’t have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did
And I thank you
You didn’t have to squeeze me like you did
But you did, but you did
And I thank you🪄
If you took your love to somewhere else
I wouldn’t know what it meant to be loved to death
You made me feel like I’ve never felt
Kisses so good I had to holler for help🪄
You didn’t have to squeeze me but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you
You didn’t have to hold me but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you🪄
Every day was something new
You pull out your bag and your fine to-do
You got me trying new things too
Just so I can keep up with you🪄
You didn’t have to shake me like you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you
You didn’t have to make it like you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you🪄
All my life I’ve been shortchanged
Without your love baby, it’s a crying shame
And now I know what the fellas are talking about
When they say that they been turned out🪄
I want to thank you (thank you)
Thank you (oh, baby)
Thank you baby (yeah, yeah)
Oh baby (I gotta be thanking)
Got to say🪄
You didn’t have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did.
(And I thank you.)🪄
You didn’t have to hold me like you did
But you did, but you did.
(And I thank you.)🪄
Thank you (thank you, baby)
Baby (Got to thank you)
Baby (oh, baby)
Thank! I’ve! Got! I’ve got to (thank you baby)
Thank you baby (oh baby)
