#32 Cowboys To Girls (The Intruders) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Cowboys to girls
I remember when I used to play shoot ’em up
(Shoot ’em up, bang, bang baby)
I remember when I chased the girls and beat ’em up
But I was young and didn’t understand
But now I’m a grown up man
I know girls are made for kissing
Never knew what I was missing
Now my life is not the same
My whole world has been rearranged
I went from (cowboy to girls)
Oh yes I did
(Cowboys to girls)🪄
I remember when I used to see you jumping rope
(Jumping rope up and down baby)
And I remember when you got your first baby coach
But you were young and didn’t understand
Now you’re a woman and I’m a man
And it’s me that you’re kissing
Ain’t it fun reminiscing
Now our lives are not the same
Our whole world has been rearranged🪄
You went from (pretty dolls to boys)
Oh yes you did
And I went from (cowboys to girls)
Oh yes I did
And it’s me that you’re kissing
Ain’t it fun reminiscing
And my life life is not the same
This whole world has been rearranged
I went from (cowboys to girls)
Oh yes I did
You went from (pretty dolls to boys)
Oh yes I did
I went from (cowboys to girls)

#31 Born To Be Wild (Steppenwolf) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
Lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way🪄
Yeah, darlin’, go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space🪄
I like smoke and lightnin’
Heavy metal thunder
Racin’ with the wind
And the feelin’ that I’m under🪄
Yeah, darlin’, go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space🪄
Like a true nature’s child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die🪄
Born to be wild
Born to be wild🪄
Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
We’re lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way🪄
Yeah, darlin’ go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space🪄
Like a true nature’s child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die🪄
Born to be wild
Born to be wild

#30 Those Were The Days (Mary Hopkin) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
Think of all the great things we would do?🪄
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they’d never end
We’d sing and dance forever and a day
We’d live the life we choose
We’d fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da🪄
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I’d see you in the tavern
We’d smile at one another and we’d say🪄
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they’d never end
We’d sing and dance forever and a day
We’d live the life we choose
We’d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da🪄
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?🪄
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they’d never end
We’d sing and dance forever and a day
We’d live the life we choose
We’d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da🪄
Through the door, there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh, my friend, we’re older but no wiser
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same🪄
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they’d never end
We’d sing and dance forever and a day
We’d live the life we choose
We’d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da🪄
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

#29 The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde (Georgie Fame) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Bonnie and Clyde were pretty lookin’ people
But I can tell you people, they were the devil’s children
Bonnie and Clyde began their evil doin’
One lazy afternoon down Savannah way
They went and robbed a store, and high-tailed outa that town
Got clean away in a stolen car
And waited till the heat died down🪄
Bonnie and Clyde advanced their reputation
And made the graduation into the banking business
“Reach for the sky”, talking Clyde would holler
As Bonnie loaded dollars in the dewlap bag
Now one brave man-he tried to take ’em alone
They left him lying in a pool of blood
And laughed about it all the way home🪄
Bonnie and Clyde got to be public enemy number one
Running and hiding from every American lawman’s gun
They used to laugh about dying
But deep inside ’em they knew
That pretty soon they’d be lying
Beneath the ground together
Pushing up daisies to welcome the sun and the morning dew🪄
Acting upon reliable information
A federal deputation laid a deadly ambush
When Bonnie and Clyde came walking in the sunshine
A half a dozen carbines opened up on them🪄
Bonnie and Clyde, they lived a lot together
And finally together they died

1968 Top 10 Highest-Grossing & Award Winning Films

  • Rosemary’s Baby 👍🏼👍🏼
    • 26th Golden Globe Awards Best Supporting Actress in a Drama, Comedy or Musical : Ruth Gordon
    • 41st Academy Awards Best Supporting Actress: Ruth Gordon

“I enjoyed rewatching this film from an earlier time in my life. Not sure when I first saw it. Ruth Gordon playing the creepy neighbor was so good. She is the reason the movie was frightening. Mia Farrow played a good part too as an naive woman of the time. Timeless!”

#28 Angel of the Morning (Merrilee Rush) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
There’ll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can’t bind your heart.
And there’s no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start.
I see no reason to take me home
I’m old enough to face the dawn.🪄
Just call me angel of the morning, Angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
Just call me angel of the morning, Angel
Then slowly turn away… from me.🪄
Maybe the sun’s light will be dim
And it won’t matter anyhow.
If morning’s echo says we’ve sinned
Well, it was what I wanted now.
And if we’re victims of the night
I won’t be blinded by the light.🪄
Just call me angel of the morning, Angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
Just call me angel of the morning, Angel
Then slowly turn away…
I won’t beg you to stay… with me…
Through the tears… of the day…
Of the years… baby, baby —
Just call me angel of the morning, Angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
Just call me angel of the morning, Angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby…

#27 Love Child (Diana Ross & The Supreme) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Tenement slum
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ahhhhh🪄
You think that I don’t feel love
But what I feel for you is real love
In other’s eyes I see reflected
A hurt, scorned, rejected🪄
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, born in poverty
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, take a look at me🪄
Started my life
In an old, cold run down tenement slum (Tenement slum)
My father left, he never even married mom
I shared the guilt my mama knew
So afraid that others knew I had no name
Ahhhh, ah🪄
This love we’re contemplating
Isn’t worth the pain of waiting
We’ll only end up hating
The child we maybe creating🪄
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, (scorned by) society
Love child, always second best
Love child, different from the rest (Hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
Mm, baby (Hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
Mm, baby (Hold on, hold on, just a little bit)🪄
I started school
In a worn, torn dress that somebody threw out(Somebody threw out)
I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt
To be without the simple things
So afraid my friends would see the guilt in me
Ahhh, ah🪄
Don’t think that I don’t need you
Don’t think I don’t wanna please you
But no child of mine’ll be bearing
The name of shame I’ve been wearing🪄
Love child, love child, never quite as good
Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood🪄
But I’ll always love you (Love child)
I’ll always love you (Just a little bit longer)
I’ll always love you (Wait, wait, won’t you wait, just hold on)
I’ll always love you (Just a little bit longer, love child)
I’ll always love you (Wait, wait, won’t you wait, just hold on)
I’ll always love you (Just a little bit longer)

#26 Spooky (Classics IV) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
In the cool of the evening when ev’rything is gettin’ kind of groovy,
I call you up and ask you if you want to go and meet and see a movie,
First you say no, you’ve got some plans for the night,
And then you stop, and say, “All right.”
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.🪄
You always keep me guessin’, I never seem to know what you are thinkin’.
And if a fella looks at you, it’s for sure your little eye will be a-winkin’.
I get confused, ’cause I don’t know where I stand,
And then you smile, and hold my hand.
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.
Spooky!🪄
If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin’,
I’m gonna tell you all what my heart’s been a-dyin’ to be sayin’.
Just like a ghost, you’ve been a-hauntin’ my dreams,
So I’ll propose, on Halloween.
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.🪄
Spooky,
Spooky,
Spooky,
Oh-whoa, all right,
I said Spooky!

#25 Judy In Disguise (John Fred & His Playboys) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Judy in disguise, well that’s what you are
A lemonade pie with your brand new car
Cantaloupe eyes come to me tonight
Judy in disguise, with glasses🪄
Keep a-wearing your bracelets and your new Rara
And cross your heart, yeah, with your livin’ bra
Chimney Sweep Sparrow with guise
Judy in disguise, with glasses🪄
Come to me tonight, come to me tonight
Taking everything in sight
Except for the strings on my kite🪄
Judy in disguise, hey that’s what you are
A lemonade pie, hey, got your brand new car
Cantaloupe eyes come to me tonight
Judy in disguise, with glasses🪄
Come to me tonight, come to me tonight
Taking everything in sight
Except for the strings on my kite🪄
Judy in disguise, what you aiming for?
A circus of a-horror, yeah-yeah, well that’s what you are
You made me a life of ashes
I guess I’ll just take your glasses

#24 Turn Around, Look at Me (The Vogues) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
There is someone walking behind you
Turn around, look at me
There is someone watching your footsteps
Turn around, look at me🪄
There is someone who really needs you
It’s my heart in my hand
Turn around (turn around)
Look at me (look at me)
Understand, understand🪄
And there’s someone to stand beside you
Turn around, look at me
And there’s someone to love and guide you
Turn around, look at me🪄
Oh, I’ve waited and I’ll wait forever
For you to come to me
Look at someone (look at someone)
Who really loves you, yeah, loves you🪄
Turn around, look at me
Turn around, look at me
