2. Do you recognise which song these lyrics come from: 'I'm in way over my head now she thinks that I love her'

All hits for The Mamas & Papas, 'I Saw Her Again' peaked at #5 in the US in 1966, getting to #11 in the UK.

4. Name the singer of these lyrics - 'Softer than satin was the light from the stars'.

The lyrics come from 'Blue Velvet' by Bobby Vinton, a regular on the US charts. This song got to #1 in 1963, but got to #2 in the UK in 1990 after it appeared on a TV commercial.
5. What is missing from these lyrics: 'I'll find some crowded avenue, though it will be_____without you'.

Answer: empty

Recognise the lyrics? They come from the Andy Williams hit 'Can't get used to losing you'. It reached #2 in the UK and the US in 1963, unable in either case to match the chart-topping success of his 1957 #1 'Butterfly'.
6. The Kinks deserve a mention, so from which song does this opening come: 'From the dew soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar'?

Answer: Autumn Almanac

'Autumn Almanac' missed out on the Billboard Top 40 but did make a thoroughly respectable #3 in the UK in 1967.
7. Back to the early Sixties and we find this line 'I love every movement, there's nothing I would change'. The singer please?

Answer: Johnny Tillotson

I don't think that one's too difficult. It was of course Johnny Tillotson's 'Poetry in Motion', #2 on Billboard in 1960, it was #1 in the UK early in 1961.
8. A bit of Cockney philsophy was going on in the song these lyrics came from: 'Once our beer was frothy but now its frothy coffee'. What was the song called?

Max Bygraves took 'Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'Be' to #5 in the UK in 1960. Lonnie Donegan was responsible for 'My Old Man's a Dustman' (A UK #1 no less), with Tommy Steele the singer of the other two.
9. Do you know which song these lyrics come from? 'The only girl I care about has gone away looking for a brand new start'

Answer: Rhythm of the Rain

'Rhythm of the Rain' was a UK #5 and a US #3 for The Cascades in 1963. Of the others, 'Raindrops' was a 1961 US #1 for Dee Clark, 'Raining in my Heart' a Buddy Holly song and 'Rainbow Valley' a UK Top 10 hit for Love Affair in 1968.
10. These lyrics are a little intriguing: 'There's a chapel in the pines waiting for us around the bend'. The singer, if you will...

Answer: Lou Christie

'Lightnin' Strikes ' was a US Number One for Lou Christie in 1966, reaching #11 in the UK.
