Ooh, dare we dream ...

My suggestions:

1. Dells, "There Is"
2. Beatles, "Old Brown Shoe"
3. Jefferson Airplane, "Greasy Heart"
4. Wild Weeds, "No Good to Cry"
5. Supremes, "The Composer"
6. Box Tops, "Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March"
7. Shadows of Knight, "Shake"
8. Four Seasons, "C'mon Marianne!"
9. Doors, "Love Street"
10. Monkees, "Listen to the Band"

all three are from '69 ("Brown Shoe" was the B-side of "Ballad of J & Y"); "C'mon Marianne" is from '67. But thanks for playing our game, we have some lovely parting gifts for you! :P

(For those requesting recaps: we started with Lisa Simpson, er, Mason Williams and "Classical Gas," followed by "I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)."  Anyone know how they create that bubbly-vocal effect?

Did I ever tell you about the time I was walking through Washington Square Park and a homeless guy was rocking out to "Something's Burning"?  He had headphones on and was stomping his feet maniacally as he sang the refrain:

*stomp* *stomp* SOMETHIN'S BURNIN'!  *stomp* *stomp* SOMETHIN'S BURNIN'!

I was frightened yet fixated.

Oh, for joy!  Eleanor, gee, I think you're swelleanor.

BTW, the refrain originally went "you're my fab and gear, etc." but they changed it to gloss over the humor.

(before we hit the Turtles, we had Classic IV's "Spooky" and Jimi's "Watchtower.")

Yeah, I think my BOS goes to the Turtles as well.  One of the best examples of Sunshine Pop ever committed to wax.

Followed by the Amboy Dukes' journey beyond the realm of "what."  (What a horrendous line.)
