The Bee Gees -- How Can You Mend a Broken Hip

Bobby Darin -- Splish, Splash, I Was Havin' a Flash

Ringo Starr -- I Get By With a Little Help >From Depends

Gahhh! That accent still rings in my ears:

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have orn
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you sigh he was meeting you hear todie
To take you take you to his mansion in the sky...

Some of them are a bit new sounding.

Although when courting C.B. in '73 the sounded pretty trendy:yes:

Mind you I use to drink more and the lyrics would have sounded right.

Like:"I woke this morning half asleep, with all my blankets in a heap,
and naked women scattered all around meee-eeee,"

I think the chorus line was 'the power of the rain..'
