This Australian band made waves with this hit song in 1967. It reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100, but "I'm a Believer" by the Monkees, kept the song from number one, name the singer.

 
This Scottish rock band was formed in 1981 and this song was released in May 1983. In the US, it peaked at No. 3 on the Top Rock Tracks chart and No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their lead singer/guitarist passed away on this day in 2001.


 
Written in 1964, this song flew under the radar until a band turned it into a hit with their cover in 1967.


 
A 1966 garage rock classic. This band signed a record deal in San Antonio. Even if you weren’t born yet, a record player + parents who played everything = fair game. Music doesn’t check birth certificates.
