Lyrics	Artist	Song Title
(Longest running #1 instrumental in US chart history)	Percy Faith and his Orchestra	Theme from A Summer Place
If the sky that we look upon / Should tumble and fall / Or the mountain should crumble to the sea	Ben E. King	Stand By Me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops / Away above the chimney tops / That's where you'll find me	Judy Garland	Over the Rainbow
Lived by the sea / And frolicked in the autumn mist / In a land called Honalee	Peter, Paul and Mary	Puff the Magic Dragon
Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now / I know you'll get to like it / If you give it a chance now	Little Eva	The Loco-Motion
Se necesita una poca de gracia	Ritchie Valens	La Bamba
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive / With their vocal group, 'The Crypt-Kicker Five'	Bobby 'Boris' Pickett	Monster Mash
Well, he walked up to me / And he asked me if I wanted to dance	The Crystals	Then He Kissed Me
Now, I don't mean to bother you / But I'm in distress / There's danger of me losing all of my happiness	Sam Cooke	Cupid
'Cause I want / A girl / To call / My own	Bobby Darin	Dream Lover
The night we met I knew I needed you so / And if I had the chance I'd never let you go	The Ronettes	Be My Baby
I wonder / I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder / Why / Why, why, why, why, why / She ran away	Del Shannon	Runaway
I was alright / For a while / I could smile for a while	Roy Orbison	Crying
When you hold my hand / I understand / The magic that you do / You're my dream come true / My one and...	The Platters	Only You
And don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more	Ray Charles	Hit the Road Jack
(only lyric = a certain distilled beverage)	The Champs	Tequila
