Dom, 4 out of 10 old folks on this site reminiscing and entertaining each other isn't a bad thing...
If I didnt know better, id say the guy who made a new song post has been one of these many lurkers, reading about squeeze box and hearing the banjo in it, made him post a song with a banjo it it.
"Her tender lips......are sweeter than Hon-ee-hh!"
One of my favorite lines too. I guess I was about 10 when this came out. We had moved from Iowa to Alabama in 1958, so I was four years a southerner and this song was pretty popular.
Clue is in the video. Ralph Kramden has already appeared on the $99,000 Answer TV show, very nervous, category popular songs. Show ends before he’s able to begin and is invited back the following week. He practices with Ed Norton at the piano. See this at the 15 minute mark. Watch the practice, then fast forward to 20:49 and answer the mystery tune! (Mike has it.) And thx to FD for posting this on page one of this thread!

Congrats, Craig you are the winner of mystery tune #106. "Reach Out Of the Darkness" by Friend & Lover:
Not much is know about this duet team. It was their only hit, the title is never literally sung, "reach out IN the darkness" is what is sung.
Ray Stevens plays keyboards and arranged the strings, and Joe South produced it, so Jim and Cathy Post had connections!
I love this song for it's innocence. Cathy Post is a tad off-key when singing "I think it's so groovy now/that people are finally gettin' together" --but so enthusiastic and child-like, that I can seal this song in amber as a closet favorite of mine.
Again, congrats, Craig!!!

I think I was asleep during anything to do with this song....never even heard it, or heard of it...that's a first for me on this thread....duh

I always thought that song was just so groovy--ha-ha..............I remember it well. I would need more than the bass line to get it however, as I haven't heard that song in almost a half century. The late 60's had a lot of great pop songs that were more short-lived and less remembered due to the British Invasion no doubt.

Understandable the Beach Boys guess from Steve. Eddie's faithful intro made me listen again to the original. That opening "ooo" from Valli is the most Beach Boys thing I could imagine. I'm sure Brian Wilson did a double take when that first came on the radio!
Great game!

That's why I had a couple of question marks in my guess..it was really close but I wasn't 100% sure...good game everyone!!

This is my most favourite song of all time....let me know if you can find an artist who HASN’T recorded it.
Name the song’s full title....the first artist to record it....the signature album, the songwriter(s)
Had modest success on Billboard Hot 100
It could easily be posted on another thread on JPF...I’ll post it there after the scramble is solved

I don't think there is a word in English that has the letter Q without being followed by U? (Unless these are not scrambled letters and just first letters of words).
My bad Eddie...in a scramble it's the first letter of the words in the song title, the album, singer and songwriter(s)

The intro is 5 seconds long and the song title is mentioned immediately after the intro and never mentioned again in the song....
