Lyrics to Our Favorite Songs
A Whole Lot More Than Just Lyrics! |
|
|
|
|
We have a collection of lyrics to some of the best and most interesting
songs of the 50s, 60s, and early and mid 70s. Our purpose is to
bring back some memories, perhaps settle a few bets, and allow your kids
to compare the words of our songs to the lyrics of what passes for rock
today. BBHQ members have unlimited access to our lyrics collection.

We've got some of the classics, some of the silly ones, and a few from the 90s that have the boomer spirit. (But don't expect to find anything by Puff Daddy or the Spice Girls here.) So if you want to capture the "flavor" of what was on our mind back then, turn off the radio, sit back, and take a trip back in time...
In order to be a hit (in my book), a song has to have a good beat. You can't appreciate many of the songs from our youth without listening to them. In some cases, the words to a hit song - all by themselves - sound downright goofy. (Consider Buddy Holly's Peggy Sue: "Peggy Sue... Peggy Sue... pretty, pretty, pretty Peggy Sue. Oh, Peggy... my Peggy Sue.") And some of my favorites are instrumentals; you can hum along and tap your foot, but there are no words to Mason Williams' "Classical Gas."
But sometimes the lyrics alone were enough to make a song memorable. This section of BBHQ shows why.
We have lyrics to over 750 songs (although our Oldies Vault contains the names of more than 4,000 songs). You can request the lyrics to a song that is not in our collection; we're adding more every month. And you can provide lyrics to your favorite songs; if it was a top-40 hit in the U.S., we'll add it to our collection.

If you know what you're looking for.... well, you'll know it when you see it. But if you're looking for lyrics that defined the boomer years, check out the ones with this symbol: * before the title. They set the tone for our youth.

Source of our lyrics:
Experience has taught us that there may be several versions of the lyrics
to a song:
1. The version, as penned by the song writer.
2. The version in the artist's songbook and/or liner notes to an album.
3. The first popular version to make it as a (single) hit.
4. The first popular version, as recorded on an album. (i.e. Charlie Daniels
Band's "Devil Went Down to Georgia" -- the single and album versions are
different.)
5. Versions recorded by other artists or re-recorded by the original
artist.
6. Versions passed down by the masses (i.e. "Louie, Louie")
Yes, versions 2, 3 and 4 may be slightly different.
At BBHQ, we always try to show number 3, since that is the version that most of us remember.
