Level 76

"Everybody is somebody's fool" - The answer has 3 Ns, a typo?

Level 71

Sep 6, 2014

Thanks for that catch. Fixed.

Level 65

Jul 14, 2016

I think the group was billed and recorded as " ? and the Mysterians". I could have used the few seconds this retyping would have saved me.

Level 69

Jul 14, 2016

Yeah, ? and the Mysterians is right. I had the record.

Level ∞

Jul 14, 2016

Okay, I changed the displayed text to that. Typing "?" won't work though because punctuation is always ignored on JetPunk.

Level 74

Jul 14, 2016

Didn't even think about simply typing "The Singing Nun". I was trying to remember her name, Jeanine Deckers. I could definitely have used more time. So many of these were on the tip of my tongue, but needed a little more time to dust off in my brain. Thanks for the stroll down Memory Lane.

Level 54

Jul 14, 2016

It didn't accept "The Ohio State Marching Band," "The Best Damn Band in the Land," or "TBDBITL" for "Hang On Sloopy." ;)

Level 72

Jul 25, 2018

+1 from the Buckeye State!

Level 89

Jul 14, 2016

By the time they release People Got to Be Free in late 1968, "the Young Rascals" had become simply "The Rascals." That should be an accepted answer. (Spent almost a minute before I remembered they had been the Young Rascals.)

Level ∞

Jul 15, 2016

I'll take your word for it. "The Rascals" will work now.

Level 91

Jul 14, 2016

Some of these band names kinda makes me wonder who in their right mind would think that was a good idea? Strawberry Alarm Clock? Hollywood Argyles? The Shangri-Las?

Level 58

Feb 9, 2017

This was the psychedelic era. Everyone wanted to come up with weird names for their bands. Strawberry Alarm Clock, Tonto's Expanding Head Band, Electric Prunes, 13th Floor Elevators, Blues Magoos, Balloon Farm, Southwest FOB, Bubble Puppy, Mouse and the Traps, The Shadows of Knight and many, many more. What a time!

Level 28

Jul 15, 2016

Not very sharp when it comes to 60s music. Only got three: The Beatles; The Rolling Stones; and Lesley Gore.

In retrospect, I should have gotten Elvis. :P

Level 48

Nov 10, 2016

I see they WERE on a lot of drugs in the '60s.

Level 68

Jan 19, 2023

Especially herion

Level 58

Feb 9, 2017

96/135 and just ran out of time. Somehow completely skipped a few I knew (Box Tops, Dean Martin, Stevie Wonder) without even seeing them. I have a tendency to do that. Tried Nino Tempo and April Stevens and it didn't take. Of course, the earlier the songs got, the fewer I knew.

Level 59

Aug 26, 2017

the singing nun was known in Belgium where she was from as Soeur sourire

Level 83

Oct 6, 2017

I type too slow. Or maybe I think too slow?

Level 87

Dec 13, 2017

some more time would be nice (the 1970s quiz added a couple more minutes). also seems odd to accept a last name like fontana but not accept wayne fontana unless you add the rest of the band name. that happened more than once. fun quiz

Level ∞

Dec 13, 2017

Sure, added 3 more minutes

Level 35

Dec 25, 2017

Yeah, I had to type in 'the mamas and the papas' in full - other quizzes simply accept 'mamas and papas'. Was getting so frustrated with that one!

Level 83

Dec 25, 2017

I swear I typed "Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders" but no credit.

Level 55

Feb 14, 2018

I missed only one of these, and I believe it to be the Quizmaster/creator's mistake. If you will doublecheck I believe (I am SURE) you will find that the song title shown in this quiz of "So Much Love" by the Tymes (1963) is actually "So much IN Love" by the Tymes. Please correct!

Level 55

Feb 14, 2018

Re: my comment above---I'm 73, so I can clearly remember all of these songs but unfortunately not what I had for breakfast! LOL

Level 45

Jul 5, 2018

Scored 125. Could have had them all, but couldn't type fast enough. IF IT WERE THE 70'S OR 80'S i WOULD HAVE SCORED NO WHERES NEAR 125.

Level 67

Aug 10, 2018

Real tough. Everything pre-Beatles is hard.

Level 89

May 24, 2019

I did alright but should have done better. In many cases I knew the songs but just couldn't think of the musician. Fun, though!

Level 63

Nov 5, 2019

Great quiz. One of my favorites.

"John Fred & his Playboy Band" only works with an ampersand and only if the full name is entered (although it will accept "Playboy Band" for short.)

Can you change it to accept "and" and maybe just "John Fred" as other bands, like Jimmy Gilmer and Wayne Fontana, only require the leader's last name?

On a similar note, "Clark" will bring up Petula Clark, but not Dave Clark, and "Dave Clark" will not bring up "Dave Clark Five" without the "five" or "5". Thanks!

Level 57

Nov 9, 2019

Excellent quiz, but "the mamas and the papas" ought to work, no?

Level 64

Feb 11, 2020

1963 hit by The Tymes was "So Much in Love" - listed in the quiz as "So Much Love". No wonder I couldn't think of it.

Level ∞

Feb 11, 2020

This has been corrected. Thanks.

Level 70

May 12, 2020

I remembered Marvelettes cuz of Captain Marvel

Level 68

Jan 19, 2023

I thought Hot Fun in the Summertime by Sly and the Family Stone was a bigger hit

Level 55

Feb 10, 2023

As a musical elitist, I think "Love theme from 'Romeo and Juliet'" should accept Tchaikovsky, the original composer of the theme.

Level 36

Mar 27, 2023

How can you make a quiz of 135 hits from the 1960s and not include a single song by Dylan?

Level 48

Jun 19, 2024

74/135 not bad for a 18 year old. I got so many that not many get like Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Lemon Pipers, Steam, ? and the Mysterians, The Chiffons, etc... really like the 60s everything.
