Thanks to everyone that answered.  As I predicted this turned out to be
rather easy for some people.  It was suggested that a few "zingers" would
have been a good idea, and I agree.  I hope it was challenging though, 
and I do think the curve worked out nicely.  I also hope you all enjoyed
the reminiscing.

Look for a bigger and better quiz later this week.  And thanks to everyone 
for the comments and criticisms.
==========================================================================

1.  I'm beginning to think that man has never found the words that could 
    make you want me.  That have the right amount of letters, just the
    right sound, that could make you hear, make you see, that you are
    driving me out of my mind. 
CHERISH/ THE ASSOCIATION/ 33
[Did I break the record for longest lyric here?  I love this part of the
song and couldn't bring myself to chop it up.  This was also a clue to 
many that I like this song.]

2.  You wonder if this heart of mine                             
    will lose its desire for you.
NEVER MY LOVE/ THE ASSOCIATION/ 28

3.  Who's walking down the streets of the city
    smiling at everybody she sees.
WINDY/ THE ASSOCIATION/ 42
[I think everyone has this tune in their head somewhere, even if they don't
know what it is.  I gave half credit for "Wendy" to a few people.]

4.  ... with the way they kiss, keep their boyfriends warm at night.
CALIFORNIA GIRLS/ BEACH BOYS/ 48
[This turned out to be the second easiest.]

5.  I love the colorful clothes she wears
    and the way the sunlight plays upon her hair.
GOOD VIBRATIONS/ BEACH BOYS/ 39

6.  And while I'm away
    I'll write home every day.
ALL MY LOVING/ THE BEATLES/ 45

7.  Yes I'm gonna be a star.
DRIVE MY CAR/ THE BEATLES/ 42

8.  I know you never even try girl.
PLEASE PLEASE ME/ THE BEATLES/ 33
[I found it interesting that this was the only of the three Beatles tunes I
used to enter the Top10, but it received the least correct responses.  This
one is my personal fave from the Beatles. ]

9.  How about the way he acts?
    Oh no that's not the way,
    and you're not listening to all I say.
THE SHOOP SHOOP SONG (IT'S IN HIS KISS)/ BETTY EVERETT/ 41
[Thanks to the couple of people who set me straight about which part of this
title was parenthetical.  But I did accept it either way.]

10.  Why was he holding her hand
     when he's supposed to be mine?
IT'S MY PARTY/ LESLEY GORE/ 41

11.  And please when I go out with you,
     don't put me on display.
YOU DON'T OWN ME/ LESLEY GORE/ 29
[One of my favorites.  The Blow Monkeys do an excellent remake also.]

12.  I got married to the widow next door
     she's been married seven times before.
I'M HENRY, VIII I AM/ HERMAN'S HERMITS/ 49
[The one most of you got right.  This lyric really gives it away, I mean,
what else could it be?]

13.  So listen very carefully
     closer now and you will see what I mean.
THERE'S A KIND OF HUSH/ HERMAN'S HERMITS/ 37

14.  No burden is he to bear, we'll get there.
HE AIN'T HEAVY, HE'S MY BROTHER/ THE HOLLIES/ 35
[A lot of people pointed out that this was actually from 1970, which is
correct.  I used it anyway for two reasons:  1) I really like it  2) The
song entered the Top 40 in February 1970.  I concluded that it *must* 
have received some airplay, even if one spin on some remote station, in
very very late 1969.  Am I stretching here or what?]

15.  What can I do?
     Because I I I I I, I'm feeling blue.
BLACK IS BLACK/ LOS BRAVOS/ 33
[Many people got the title, but far fewer also got the group.  Los Bravos
were from Spain and were one-hit wonders here in the U.S.]

16.  Go out and find a girl,
     come on come on and dance all night,
     just like the heat it'll be all right.
SUMMER IN THE CIY/ LOVIN' SPOONFUL/ 41

17.  I whisper a little prayer to you, my baby.
DEDICATED TO THE ONE I LOVE/ MAMAS AND THE PAPAS/ 40

18.  Sometimes it just works out that way.
MONDAY MONDAY/ MAMAS AND THE PAPAS/ 23

19.  I'm in way over my head,
     now she thinks that I love her.
I SAW HER AGAIN/ MAMAS AND THE PAPAS/ 20

20.  Plenty of people don't understand
     they think love is money in the hand.
LOVE IS STRANGE/ MICKEY & SYLVIA/ 17
[OK, I really screwed this one up.  The day after I posted I realized that 
this song is from 1957.  While reading some people's answers that mentioned
this error I also learned that there was a remake in the 60s by Peaches &
Herb, so I would have accepted that also even though it doesn't fit 
alphabetically.  And two people corrected the lyric itself, which should
read "Lot of people don't understand". This song  was in the movie
Dirty Dancing and that is why I associated it with the early 1960s.
Sorry about that.]

21.  Love was out to get me
     that's the way it seemed.
I'M A BELIEVER/ THE MONKEES/ 40

22.  Rows of houses that are all the same
     and noone seems to care.
PLEASANT VALLEY SUNDAY/ THE MONKEES/ 34

23.  Girl, how can I live through this,
     when you're all I wake up for each day?
SOUL AND INSPIRATION/ THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS/ 17
[Much much better than "Lovin' Feeling", if you ask me.]

24.  Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.
THE BOXER/ SIMON AND GARFUNKEL/ 46

25.  We'd like to help you learn to help yourself.
     Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes.
MRS. ROBINSON/ SIMON AND GARFUNKEL/ 44

26.  You've been messin' where you shouldn't be messin'.
THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKIN'/ NANCY SINATRA/ 34

27.  Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match
     take it from me she's a better catch.
IF YOU WANNA BE HAPPY/ JIMMY SOUL/ 20
[Sorry, but I gave no credit for "Make an ugly woman your wife"]

28.  I was sure, I felt secure
     Until love took a detour.
THE HAPPENING/ THE SUPREMES/ 12
[The one the least people got correct.  A pretty bad showing overall
for the Supremes.]

29.  Right now the only thing that keeps me hangin' on,
     when I feel my strength is almost gone.
YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE/ THE SUPREMES/ 27

30.  The only one for me is you, and you for me.
HAPPY TOGETHER/ TURTLES/ 42


BONUS QUESTIONS:

a)  Which calendar year is the most heavily represented in this quiz?  
                                                                  (3 points)
1966 with 10 songs.  1967 had 7 and 1964 had 4.

b)  Name the two 80s or 90s movies to feature at least two of the
    songs found on this quiz.  (2 points)
I was looking for Mermaids (It's My Party, Shoop Shoop, If you Wanna Be
Happy) and Dirty Dancing (You Don't Own Me, Love is Strange).  I also
accepted the TV movie the Brian Wilson story, which technically is a 
movie and I'm assuming it contained the two Beach Boys hits I used.

THE HAPPENING BY THE SUPREMES.   12 CORRECT 

d)  Which TITLE will the most people get?  (2 points)

      He's My Brother  the Hollies
