How Many Teardrops?

Lou Christie

Too Much Too Young - the Specials

Wait A MIllion Years by the Grassroots. Lead singer Rob Grill tragically succumbed to the aftereffects of a fall and head injury while still in his 60s and actively touring. I saw the group a bit more than 10 years ago and they were great - easy to forget how many enjoyable #1 songs they had

40,000 Headmen - Traffic (Steve Winwood)

Ignore and laugh at the cheesy stage antics. Here's one for size

Another itsy bitsy

The Proclaimers' song reminds me of this:

"What you've got is not a lot .... Take one for the team." This might be stretching the theme a bit, but I think "a lot" describes quantity.

No Big Deal - Love and Rockets (formerly Tones on Tail)

The Night Has a Thousand Eyes was the first album I ever bought, and I bought all of Bobby Vee's records in the 1960s, even though most of them were old by the time I heard them.

B52s

52 Girls

but 53 Miles

Jefferson Airplane

Led Zeppelin

Quantity?

P.S. Hubby used to tour with Joey Dee, doing 60s revival shows, and told me all the folks from that era loved Lou Christie 🙂

Spelled with 2 'R's because the composer's name is Farr...

Stranglers

Big In America, I might have posted this song before on a different topic, but with a different video.

OK - can't resist one more...

Little Darlin' - The Diamonds

This song was recorded as a joke or parody, which people did not realize at the time, and it became popular as a serious love song!

So Far Away -- Dire Straits

How high’s the water, mama?

Long, Tall, Texan

The Trashmen version. Size matters in Texas.

"ONE MORE TRY" by George Michael

check out the 'big' hair do:

The Trashmen, oh my. A surf music group from Minnesota! Surfin Bird is listenable but I thought it was always fitting to have been done by a group named for garbage, little better than that. A novelty song in an era of novelty songs. It doesn't fit in today's category.

Del Shannon - Little Town Flirt

I started Part II, if this is getting slow for anyone.

How can ’tall’ not fit in today’s category? Of course it does!

Fun song. Great choice. It made me laugh😀

"Tall" is one of the key words I listed in my original post for "size," but "long" would fit the category also.

Plus - "I ride a big white horse."

Taj Mahal and Tom Morello with a Pete Seeger classic.

"Just a speck against the sky . . . "

"How can ’tall’ not fit in today’s category?"

I was referring to Surfin Bird.

Long Tall Texan has been covered by many, many groups, including the Beach Boys. I believe its most popular commercial version was by a fellow named Murry Kellum, which I believe was before it was recorded by the Trashmen

Listen to it here:

I do like the Murry Kellum version of Long Tall Texan, but I had never heard it or of it before, and I was living in 1963 when it was released. It sounds much more like the Trashmen's version than it does like the Beach Boys' version, which I've never liked at all. I think the Trashmen did a good remake - the Beach Boys did not.

Here's ronminsouthga's video

I was expecting someone to post this song!
