#69 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.”

#68 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)

“I had never seen this film and thought it was quite good. It was amazing the access the film crew had to the Vatican to film this film. Anthony Quin was great as the Pope. The push and pull of creation vs. evolution was front and center.”

“One of the better Steve McQueen movies. I love that he always incorporates stunts he actually does…the glider flying and dune buggy were great. I loved Faye Dunaway as a strong powerful beautiful woman even when the misogyny in the film was horrendous.”

#62 Magic Carpet Ride (Steppenwolf) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I like to dream, yes, yes
Right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near
To the stars away from here🪄
Well, you don’t know what we can find
Why don’t you come with me, little girl
On a magic carpet ride🪄
Well, you don’t know what we can see
Why don’t you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free🪄
Close your eyes, girl
Look inside, girl
Let the sound take you away🪄
Last night I hold Aladdin’s lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle’s all I found🪄
Well, you don’t know what we can find
Why don’t you come with me, little girl
On a magic carpet ride🪄
Well, you don’t know what we can see
Why don’t you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free🪄
Close your eyes, girl
Look inside, girl
Let the sound take you away🪄
You don’t know what we can find
Why don’t you come with me, little girl
On a magic carpet ride🪄
Well, you don’t know what we can see
Why don’t you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free

#61 Hurdy Gurdy Man (Donovan) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I opened my eyes to take a peek
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquility🪄
‘Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love🪄
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang🪄
Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity🪄
‘Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love🪄
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurd
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang🪄
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
Here comes the Roly Poly Man
He’s singing songs of love
“Roly poly, roly poly, holy poly poly” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
