This totally off the top of my head so soome might be wrong, but:

Rainy days and Mondays - the Carpenters
You're So vain - Carly Simon (I'm not sure, but I think this song is about me)
Young Girl, Get Out Of My Mind - Gary Puckett and the Union Gap Band
Some Day We'll Be Together - Dianna Ross and the Supremes
Where Oh Where can My baby Be? - J Frank Wilson & The Cavaliers and its title is actually "Last Kiss"
Take Good care of My Baby - not sure, but Bobby Vee?
Turn, Turn, Turn - Mamas and the Papas

"Turn, Turn, Turn" is by The Byrds. The Mamas and the Papas may have recorded it, but the hit recording was by The Byrds.

Gary Allen did a great remake of "Last Kiss" for all you country fans out there :flirt: :smile:

Thanks for the info. Now, can anybody tell me what years those songs were written in, or what albums they debuted in?

Also, does anybody know which version of "Turn, Turn, Turn" was used on The Wonder years (I can't remember which episode/ episodes it was used in)?

I've never heard of this band. Did they have other hits, or were they just a one hit wonder because of this song?

"Turn, Turn, Turn" is definitely by The Byrds and I'm pretty sure that's the version used in the first episode of The Wonder Years! (which is an awesome 1980s show by the way)

I love the "Turn, Turn, Turn" song mainly because its lyrics are almost totally taken from Ecclesiastes 3http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes%203&version=31!
(well, except for the "I swear it's not too late" part at the end) :smile:

Incidentally, Pearl Jam also did a cover of "Last Kiss" a few years ago.
