What would an International break be without a pop quiz?
All these are from the wheelhouse of pop for most MMadsters, the 1960s and every one of them was in the top 100 for at least one of the years during the decade. I'm looking for the title and artist who had the hit in the 60s and be careful, people used to record other people's songs back then and have hits with them. A couple were also instrumental hits but I've included the lyrics from the sung version but want the instrumentalist(s).
REMEMBER - song title and artists needed and limit 5 entries per poster before you need to take a 24 hour break to give others a chance and NO GOOGLING PLEASE (or using your old copies of Words or Disco 45 if you are old school), pull the answers from the depths of your brain. Some are pretty easy to seasoned pop pickers (you know who you are) so maybe challenge yourself and go for the harder ones or I might ridicule you! Good luck!
