I like both of those. Familiar songs to fans of 60's music.

Red Rubber Ball was written by Paul Simon and Seekers co-founder/guitarist Bruce Woodley. The Seekers recorded the song for their Comes The Day album, released in November 1966. Simon & Garfunkel recorded the song live on January 22, 1967 at Lincoln Center in Manhattan. Their version first appeared on a bootleg CD in 1988 but was not officially released until November 1997 when it appeared on the three-CD compilation album Old Friends.

Aren't they a band 98 mentioned in the CDT?

Dave Appell & The Applejacks released 20 singles between 1954 and 1964. Among them are Bunny Hop, Love In The Jungle, Sophisticated Swing, Theme From The Untouchables and Mexican Hat Twist. Their final single was this May 1964 instrumental version of the Beatles' She Loves You. Warning: it's awful!

#3 "(Bazoom) I Need Your Lovin'"
#6 "Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots"
1954/1955. I have no clue (again). But this is interesting:
The Cheers' members included Bert Convy (1933-1991) who would later serve as host of several daytime television game shows such as Tattletales, Super Password, Win, Lose or Draw and 3rd Degree.

The first was hard to miss on the radio in 1979. Didn't care for it much then. But it is one of those where I like it now. Has grown on me probably since it takes me back to 1979 when I hear it.

Horrible, horrible song. Repeat the title 8,000 times in a sickly-sweet ballad, and you've got it.
Blondie, Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello and the Clash take me back to '79. We were clearly listening to different music back then.

"French Montana." Wasn't that one of the original 13 Colonies? Anyway, French Montana's real name is Karim Kharbouch.
He was born in Morocco. I say he's a one-hit wonder. Here are his three top-40 hits:
Unforgettable (with Swae Lee) (3/2017)
No Shopping (with Drake) (36/2016)
Pop That (with Rick Ross, Drake & Lil Wayne) (36/2012)

I hear those songs too and they also take me back. I was listening to top 40 radio back then. I was 17.

I was also 17, and I thought My Sharona signaled the end of civilization. I came from a very different musical background. But I agree that whatever we liked back then has always stayed with us.

I was a late bloomer (I think we have discussed this). I first started really listening to music in 1978. My tastes admittedly were non-refined at the time and I liked almost everything on the top 40.
