Tears For Fears — Mad World Faithless — Insomnia The Pogues ft. Kirsty MacColl — Fairytale Of New York Queen — Bohemian Rhapsody / These Are The Days Of Our Lives These are the rules: Each song starts with 20 points. You can vote once a day. Since we all live in different parts of the world with all sorts of different timezones, please add a date at the top of your votes to avoid any type of confusion (e.g. 5/1/25, 5th of January, Sun 5 Jan, etc.). Each day you can give 4 points and subtract 6 points to any song on the board, you can split your points between as many songs as you want. Please use all of your points, unless it's a game ending turn. Placeholder posts are allowed, but if you don't edit your votes within 5 minutes, then the next person can go and do their votes. Consecutive votes are not allowed. Before voting, please listen to the songs of each round and vote according to your own opinions, don't vote for songs because they're high/low on the board or because of your opinions about the artist, only the song matters. Make sure you copy and paste the most recent voter's scoreboard when you take your turn to score. For your own ease, ‘paste as plain text’ to get rid of the previous poster’s formatting. Then, delete their +/- scores, add yours, adjust the song’s points total and make your scores bold These are the UK No.3 Hits of the 60s: Spoiler 07.01.60 The Avons - Seven Little Girls Sitting in the Back Seat 18.02.60 Freddy Cannon - Way Down Yonder in New Orleans 16.03.60 Emile Ford & The Checkmates - On a Slow Boat to China 23.03.60 Perry Como - Delaware 20.04.60 Jimmy Jones - Handy Man 27.04.60 Elvis Presley - Stuck on You 27.07.60 Tommy Bruce & The Bruisers - Ain’t Misbehavin’ 12.10.60 Cliff Richard & The Shadows - Nine Times Out of Ten 23.11.60 Johnny & The Hurricanes - Rocking Goose 30.11.60 Connie Francis - My Heart Has a Mind of Its Own 14.12.60 Nina & Frederik - Little Donkey 21.12.60 Anthony Newley - Strawberry Fair 25.01.61 Matt Monro - Portrait of My Love 22.02.61 Johnny Burnette - You’re Sixteen 22.03.61 Cliff Richard & The Shadows - Theme for a Dream 17.05.61 Helen Shapiro - Don’t Treat Me Like a Child 07.06.61 The Shadows - The Frightened City 28.06.61 Clarence “Frogman” Henry - But I Do 26.07.61 Cliff Richard & The Shadows - A Girl Like You 09.08.61 Billy Fury - Halfway to Paradise 30.08.61 Petula Clark - Romeo 08.11.61 Cliff Richard - When the Girl in Your Arms Is the Girl in Your Heart 20.12.61 Bobby Vee - Take Good Care of My Baby 10.01.62 Sandy Nelson - Let There Be Drums 31.01.62 Neil Sedaka - Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen 14.02.62 Eden Kane - Forget Me Not 16.05.62 Brenda Lee - Speak To Me Pretty 12.09.62 Brian Hyland - Sealed With A Kiss 19.09.62 Ronnie Carroll - Roses Are Red (My Love) 17.10.62 Tommy Roe - Sheila 24.10.62 Carole King - It Might As Well Rain Until September 05.12.62 Susan Maughan - Bobby’s Girl 19.12.62 Rolf Harris - Sun Arise 30.01.63 Maureen Evans - Like I Do 06.03.63 Bobby Vee - The Night Has A Thousand Eyes 20.03.63 Joe Brown & The Bruvvers - That’s What Love Will Do 03.04.63 Billy Fury - Like I’ve Never Been Gone 24.04.63 Buddy Holly - Brown-Eyed Handsome Man 12.06.63 Billy Fury - When Will You Say I Love You 26.06.63 Freddie & The Dreamers - If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody 02.10.63 Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme - I Want To Stay Here 13.11.63 Roy Orbison - Blue Bayou/Mean Woman Blues 11.12.63 Freddie & The Dreamers - You Were Made For Me 01.04.64 The Rolling Stones - Not Fade Away 17.06.64 Chuck Berry - No Particular Place To Go 08.07.64 The Swinging Blue Jeans - You’re No Good 15.07.64 PJ Proby - Hold Me 29.07.64 Dusty Springfield- I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself 12.08.64 The Barron Knights - Call Up The Groups 02.09.64 Jim Reeves - I Won’t Forget You 07.10.64 The Supremes - Where Did Our Love Go 28.10.64 The Searchers - When You Walk In The Room 04.11.64 Julie Rogers - The Wedding 18.11.64 Manfred Mann - Sha La La 25.11.64 The Rockin’ Berries - He’s In Town 23.12.64 Val Doonican - Walk Tall 27.01.65 Sandie Shaw - Girl Don’t Come 17.02.65 Del Shannon - Keep Searchin’ (We’ll Follow The Sun) 03.03.65 The Animals - Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood 17.03.65 Herman’s Hermits - Silhouettes 14.04.65 The Yardbirds - For Your Love 19.05.65 The Seekers - A World Of Our Own 14.07.65 Gene Pitney - Looking Through The Eyes Of Love 28.07.65 The Ivy League - Tossing And Turning 01.09.65 Horst Jankowski - A Walk In The Black Forest 03.11.65 Barry McGuire - Eve Of Destruction 10.11.65 The Yardbirds - Evil Hearted You/Still I’m Sad 17.11.65 Chris Andrews - Yesterday Man 08.12.65 Len Barry - 1-2-3 29.12.65 Ken Dodd - The River 26.01.66 The Walker Brothers - My Ship Is Comin’ In 02.02.66 Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - Spanish Flea 16.03.66 The Beach Boys - Barbara Ann 23.03.66 Small Faces - Sha-La-La-La-Lee 30.03.66 The Yardbirds - Shapes Of Things 20.04.66 The Bachelors - The Sound Of Silence 11.05.66 Cher - Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) 22.06.66 The Mamas & The Papas - Monday, Monday 14.07.66 Ike & Tina Turner - River Deep - Mountain High 17.08.66 Chris Montez - The More I See You 28.09.66 Roy Orbison - Too Soon To Know 05.10.66 The Supremes - You Can’t Hurry Love 04.01.67 Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich - Save Me 25.01.67 The Who - Happy Jack 15.02.67 The Rolling Stones - Let’s Spend The Night Together/Ruby Tuesday 29.03.67 The Seekers - Georgy Girl 26.04.67 The Monkees - A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You 10.05.67 The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Purple Haze 28.06.67 The Hollies - Carrie Anne 08.08.67 Dave Davies- Death Of A Clown 26.09.67 Small Faces - Itchycoo Park 07.11.67 Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich - Zabadak!

TQR 14,518 Posted Sunday at 20:01 1 minute ago, wannamaker said: NEW RULE Until the first song is eliminated in each round you cannot give more than 50% of your score (+2/-3) to a single song.

wannamaker 1,490 Posted Sunday at 20:02 Just now, TQR said: Just to make sure, are we using this rule introduced by Astro in this game too? ffs had problems making this thread and had to do this intro tons of times so I got lazy and copied the last one , so no, the rule doesn't apply to this one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Offensive amount of Cliff here and I genuinely hate all of it, but I gave two minus points to a non-Cliff song (Rocking Goose, for fuck sake) just so as not to appear as if I'm just targeting one artist (loose term). Strawberry Fair deserves to go through for sheer WTF value. The Avons deliver a rare W against letcherous bastards. Freddy Cannon is pretty rockin'. Love Helen Shapiro's voice, would've given her more points were it not for the fairly irritating YEE YEE YEE at the start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,327 Posted 23 hours ago The message of 'Don't treat me like a child' seems to be 'I may be under-age but please shag me anyway'. It's a good song, but surprised a 14 year old girl could get away with it in 1961. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a good song, but surprised a 14 year old girl could get away with it in 1961. I don't see any suggestion of that at all in the lyrics, which include "Don't mother me". It's clearly addressed to parents. Seems like you've fallen into the modern puritanism habit of judging a song by the title. Well just because I'm in my teens And I still go to school Don't think that I dream childish dreams I'm nobody's fool Don't mother me, that makes me wild And please don't treat me like a child It's often said that youngsters Should be seen and not be heard But I want you to realize That's quite absurd Don't wanna be so meek and mild So please don't treat me like a child Gonna be my own adviser 'Cause my mind's my own Then I will be much the wiser My own point of view has got to be known The best years of my life I know Are those when I am young And since I'm sure that this is so Gonna have my fun So if I feel like running wild Well please don't treat me like a child Don't ever treat me like a child 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chart music is a bit of a blind spot for me too in this era, but that was nothing a quick YouTube sesh couldn't fix. These games can be an education! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think that lyric was left on the album version, though. To be fair, I think it's less modern puritanism and more retrospective "Actually, that was a bit creepy". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
time 8,721 Posted 21 hours ago "Seven Little Girls Sitting in the Back Seat", now that's creepy from a modern perspective. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
