Monday's Music: Top 40 Hits From 1963

Hi, I'm DJ Rose. The cool tattoo shown above is on someone else's arm. I actually don't have any tattoos, but if I did, I'd like one similar to this one.

The theme for this week appears to be top 40 hits from the rock and roll era. I was born February 14, 1963, which makes me an old Rose. I've chosen the top five songs from February 1963. I hope you enjoy them!

Perry Como: Angela Mia

Angela mia, you are my angel, dear,
The heavens sent you down to me from up above.

Angela mia, you are my guiding star,
A sweet madonna that I honor and I love.

You're like the sunshine in all its splendor
And I surrender each time you smile.

Angela mia, my prayers are answered now
And I am thankful for Angela mia.

The McCoys: Hang on Sloopy

The third one has the best sound quality. Too bad the uploader had to go on about the dancer's boobs as if she didn't have any other qualities, like, you know, a personality or a brain. Ugh. Some things never change.

A little hint, fellows. If you want females to take you at all seriously, don't talk about women as if all we are is tits and ass. When you do that, you sound like you're permanently stuck in junior high. "Uhh....TITS!...Duh!"

Mamas and Papas: Saw Her Again Last Night

I can see why the person who uploaded this turned off the comments. You Tube comments tend to attract a special breed of lowlife.

I can understand why people might have something nasty to say about John Phillips. The unfortunate truth is that he coerced his own daughter into a ten-year incestuous relationship, and that's a major ick factor. So, screw you, John, for the fact that whenever I listen to your songs I'll know in the back of my mind about the awful, disgusting thing you did.

Then there would be the lot trotting out the bullshit "ham sandwich" tale regarding poor Cass Elliott's untimely death. Cass actually died from heart failure. She did not choke on a ham sandwich. Cass is guilty of nothing more than being a big woman in a society that believes everyone should be a size 0. I always think of Cass fondly when I hear the songs, and think it's too bad that she died so young.

Elvis Presley: That's Someone You Never Forget

Words & Music: Red West/ Elvis Presley

The way she held your hand,
The little things you planned.
Her memory is with you yet.
That's someone you never forget.

When she is far away,
You'll think of her each day.
And you know she'll wait for you.
That's someone you'll never forget.

Others may pass your way
And let you think their love is true.
But you know that they'll never replace
The one that waits for you.

The way she held your hand,
The little things you planned.
Her memory is with you yet.
That's someone you'll never forget.

Oh Donna

He wrote this song for his real life girlfriend. They were going to get married when she graduated from high school. Then he was killed in the plane crash that also claimed Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper. He was only seventeen. He was afraid of flying.
