I'll be out for awhile--we have to use a restaurant gift certificate before it expires tomorrow, which is a good thing, because it's often like pulling teeth to get a certain someone to go anywhere with me. I'll catch up with you folks later!
Here's my first post--some of you have already heard it, so by all means, save your listening time for someone else! This is probably my favorite solo recording I've done here.
Don't Sleep in the Subway, a Petula Clark song from 1967.

:-) Tracy... what can I say, I was born 1960, and in England ... some girls have all the luck eh? Trouble is I was a bit too young to appreciate it! 1966 I started to see some of it, musically, but still, a bit too young, especially for the fashion LOL. To be honest with you I was more wistful of the long floaty dresses and flowers in ya hair days... which came a little later... I must get my Jackie magazines out with Blackfoot Sue, Peter, Paul and Mary, Alice Cooper, David Cassidy (LOL) Bay City Rollers (what?) earlier, earlier. I never pulled the posters out and they remain intact... all 500 of them from 1971 onwards. Yeah late.
Going to enjoy this one :-) Back later with a song!

Yes, you're still a young 'un, Janet! I'm thinking I should've been born around 1950 or thereabouts!
Edited reply by CerebraljamGOLD
Fashion if I remember rightly was Mary Quant plastic colourful macs, mini skirts and um, the invention of the disposable paper undies LOL!
Here you go: I Couldn't Live Without Your Love - Petula Clark
Chances are Petula's songs will be gone with the next lic raid... ;D Some of you have already heard so don't feel you have to listen again, but thank you for your time...

Be back later. Still feeling a little ill.
Love the theme of course,
as I was born in 1951
and was a teenager during the mid to late 60s.
Reply by BronxBruce
OK. This one's gonna be so much fun.
But, believe it or not I don't have a great many songs that fit this category. So I had to go dig this one out of mothballs. It was private but now it's public again. Revel in all those old comments and my old mic.
Donovan
Mellow Yellow
Groooovy Baby!

Hi all! Tracy great challenge.Have a question.Do have to have been born in England or could they have performed in England as long as it's a 60's tune?Thanks xoxo
Reply by GlorihaGOLD
Okay, just for you, Rick, a new profile picture. This is me and my cyber sis, Cathy, roarcat, when she visited me on Sunday. We had such a great time.... 5 hours of laughing hysterically and some... well, we like to call it singing but it was pretty odd at times :)
Reply by JubiGOLD 
Sorry for lack in listens. Life got busy for me.

Hi All I am on a Lesley Gore kick I guess.My Beatles are all gone so....
#1 YOU DON'T OWN ME ...by Lesley Gore 1964
http://www.singsnap.com/snap/r/b6f51d38
#2 SUNSHINE LOLLIPOPS & RAINBOWS: by Lesley Gore
Reply by GlorihaGOLD
For my first selection, this is Come Back When You Grow Up by Bobby Vee. This song was #3 on Billboard in 1967. This is one of the songs that Cathy and I did on Sunday night; the only one we did 'right' the whole way through. Although I knew she would be okay with it, I actually asked permission :>

Reply by CerebraljamGOLD
Okay, nearly heard all the songs, thought I had and another three popped up... wonderful, and yep fun!
For some crazy reason I was up just after 6am this morning so was wondering why I now feel tired. Think I'm going to call it a night and get some sleep before I fall over, head is definitely whooshy! ;D
Nite all...

Wonderful theme, Tracy! I love the 60s!
Off the topic, I had a bad day today. It was the type of day where I wished I had stayed in bed. So much seemed to go wrong. Anyway, I was giving myself a pity party when I come home to find out that a Singsnapper friend of mine is going to lose her mother (she had a massive heart attack and won't make it).
Her name is RedSatinDoll
http://www.singsnap.com/snap/member/redsatindoll
It kind of put things in perspective for me. I should just be thankful I am alive and safe and at home.
Sorry to get off the topic, but my heart is aching for this woman.

Falling off my chair, Woof!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Great theme, Tracy...if I can only get over this cold, I could sing. Let me scout the archives.
Roseinblue, so sorry to hear of your friend's mother. She may make it yet; I'll keep her in my prayers.
Reply by Layla9466GOLD
Don't know why I chose this one...it's not like it's the best tune from the 60's...I had to bite my cheek from laughing while singing it (through pain comes growth?) *laugh. Anyway, I had fun. hope you enjoy.

Um, no. I think that was more of a 70s thing?
Hi all! Tracy great challenge.Have a question.Do have to have been born in England or could they have performed in England as long as it's a 60's tune?Thanks xoxo PlatinumFilly
Neither. Any 60s song is OK, really!

I recorded this one last night for the challenge:
There's a Kind of Hush from Herman's Hermits in 1967
Reply by walkingstickGOLD
I had to hjurry and grab this one before someone else got it. I laughed when I noticed that last summer in July in one of the challenges, Bruce submitted Mellow Yellow and I submitted Sunshine Superman. LOLOL
I wanted to re-record this one as I have better sound than I did then.
Getting the flavor of the Donovan sound is hard. I tried to get it by singing the melody with myself. Still haven't captured it to my satisfactlion, but that means I have a neat musical goal to reach eventually so it's all good.
Recorded 1966 at Abbey Road Studios
Reply by JennyGOLD
Be back for some listens later...the Queensland sunshine is luring me outside :-)))
Reply by werewoofGOLD
Well since The group that I feel epitomizes the theme Tracy has set forth for us hasn't been represented yet.. I give you....
With a freshly awakened Woofie all bushy eyed and draggin tail.....

Reply by lilpeachy
Here's an old fave of mine. The flashing green video is indicative of the 60's, too. Wow, that song is tough for me to sing, but this is a Challenge...right? ;o)
Turn, Turn, Turn! The Byrds
http://www.singsnap.com/snap/r/b9ef53e2
Turn! Turn! Turn! is the second album by the folk-rock band The Byrds, released 1965 on Columbia Records. It peaked at #17 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart, and went to #11 in the United Kingdom.
Edited reply by TracyBGOLD
I sneaked the song into an edit, Woof! :) I still beat you though--lol! You can't have too many Herman's Hermits songs for a challenge like this!
I'm actually all caught up! Everybody sounds great on these Swinging 60s tunes! Thanks for putting a smile on my face!

I figured I'd travel across the pond from Britain and sing one from the 60's by Jay and the .....no, not Britains.....Americans

This challenge is open to all. It runs until Tuesday May 27 at 6PM EDT. Its purpose is to give people a forum to have their songs heard. There is no judging involved. Everyone who participates is a winner.
PLEASE READ THESE GUIDELINES AND THE THEME DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING
1. Post ONE OR TWO songs that fit the theme. You may post a THIRD one on or after Thursday. You may post a FOURTH song on or after Saturday.
Your song can be a new song or one that was already recorded.
**2. For EACH song you post, listen to at least SIX other people's songs and leave feedback. That means, if you post 2 songs you should listen to 12 others over the course of the 7 days of the challenge, a little less than 2 a day. If you post 3 songs, listen to 18 others and so on. You may, of course, listen to more if you choose.
Listening is the most important part of this challenge. Supporting and experiencing others is what it's about.
3. We prefer to listen to the whole song. Try not to listen to the same people every day. Give new people a chance as well.
4. Please do not post glitter or large graphics as feedback or in the thread.
5. You don't need to post a song to listen but you need to listen if you post a song. It's best to post earlier in the challenge. But you can post up until the end. Just be aware that the closing hours of the challenge are better suited to listening than trying to squeeze in a last minute post.
6. Try to avoid making multiple posts in a row by going back and editing your posts if you left something out. You have 30 minutes after you post to add to or correct your post by hitting the EDIT button.

The theme of this challenge is Swingin' 60s!! Sing a song (preferably a pop/rock song from the mid to late 1960s) from the 1960s!
I've often thought I should have been born about 15 years earlier and in England. I love movies and music from the mid 60s--I love the fashions and pop culture from that era. Yes, it's sad that the Beatles and Rolling Stones songs are gone from here, but we'll make do!
Here are a couple of fun clips that evoke what I'm talking about:
60's Fashion
Smashing Time
And here's a Wikipedia entry about Swinging London
Have fun you little mods and rockers!
