Herman's Hermits -- Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Walker
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
Roberta Flack --The First Time Ever I Forgot Your Face
Johnny Nash -- I Can't See Clearly Now
Paul Simon -- Fifty Ways to Lose Your Liver
The Commodores -- Once, Twice, Three Times to the Bathroom
Marvin Gaye -- Heard It Through the Grape Nuts
The Temptations -- Papa's Got a Kidney Stone
Abba -- Denture Queen
Tony Orlando -- Knock 3 Times On The Ceiling If You Hear Me Fall

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..'
