9/10 Was really getting into the sounds of the day in '64. Probably got my transistor radio around then. We would listen to it in bed and fall asleep to the music knowing that in the morning you would have a dead battery. Good times
9/10.
Good music.
Good music.
"You got 10 out of 10. Way to keep the music alive!" The last one had me a bit concerned as I only knew the 1964 hit version by the animals. I didn't know that it had charted multiple times by that group. Another group called Frijiid Pink had a sizable hit with that song around 1971. That's all I know.
8/10 🎶🎶🎶🎶
I got all of them right!!!!!!!!
Doo wah Diddy. What does that mean?
10/10!
8/10, Speaking of House of the Rising Sun, The Animals radically changed the meaning of the song.

Great music videos. Interesting choices on the FredFlix clip.
I'd never heard of Dalida. She could speak many languages. Born in Egypt by Italian parents but I think she was a French citizen.
Dalida sold several million records around the world. Her best known songs are "Bambino", "Gondolier", "Les enfants du Pirée", "Le temps des fleurs", "Darla dirladada", "J'attendrai", "Le jour où la pluie viendra", "Gigi l'amoroso", "Salama ya salama", and "Paroles, paroles" featuring spoken word by Alain Delon. Out of all that I only know Alain Delon. Don't know if she ever made it to The States. Popular abroad.

Yes Alain Delon dated a bunch of the hot French babes back in the day.
