I got in through the link on the clubhouse main page.  Just heard "Suffragette City," we'll see if I get bounced out.

So 1966 was the year Tom Jones had a hit with "The Green, Green Grass of Home," no?

BTW, was "the luck of the Irish" originally coined as an ironic phrase?  The Irish have hardly been the luckiest of the tribes ...

Set kicks off with "Here, There and Everywhere" -- lovely song, but wrong for the TOTHC context.  We should've had a sky of blue and sea of green instead.

Wouldn't mind hearing Gary Lewis & the Playboys today, for some reason.

or Gary Lewis and the Production Wizards as I like to think of 'em -- apparently dear Gary couldn't sing a lick.

I've heard this as well.  Life's not too hard when your daddy's a star.

WOS: "Sugar and Spice" (the Cryin' Shames, I want to say) -- sounds oh so 1962 to my ears.

BOS to the Association!  My favorite song to clap to.  Would love to try this on at karaoke sometime since the lyrics are such tongue-twisters.
