Come-a-Come-a-Dum Doobie Do Dum Dum - A Groovy '62 Charles/Erik Fanmix
ETA: should probably warn you: first mix ever, first foray into any fandom in any way in the last 2 (3?) years. Rusty and inexperienced, woot! Consider yourselves forewarned.
This mix is comprised entirely of Billboard Hot100 #1 songs, which topped the charts in 1962.
For all the vidders and fanfic authors looking for era-accurate inspiration, and anybody who's open to some slightly cracky, often nostalgic, real cool earworms.

1. Breaking Up Is Hard To Do by Neil Sedaka
they say that breaking up is hard to do / now I know, I know it's true / don't say that this is the end / instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again
2. The Lion Sleeps Tonight by The Tokens
hush my darling, don't fear my darling, the lion sleeps tonight
3. He's a Rebel by Crystals
when he holds my hand I'm so proud / 'cause he's not just one of the crowd / my baby, always the one to try the thing they've never done
4. Duke of Earl by Gene Chandler
yes I, / oh I'm gonna love you / nothing can stop me now / 'cause I'm the Duke of Earl
5. The Stripper by David Rose
instrumental. very
6. The Twist by Chubby Checker
we're gonna twisty twisty twisting / till we tear the house down
7. Monster Mash by Bobby 'Boris' Pickett
(they did the mash) it caught on in a flash / (they did the mash) they did the monster mash
8.Good Luck Charm by Elvis Presley
don't want a silver dollar, rabbit's foot on a string / the happiness in your warm caress no rabbit's foot can bring
9. The Loco-Motion by Little Eva
do it nice and easy now, don't lose control / a little bit of rythm and a lot of soul / c'mon, c'mon, do the loco-motion with me

they say that time heals a broken heart / but time has stood still since we've been apart

If you know of any vids or fic using those songs - or other from the era - do be so kind and send me a link in the comments. The world (by which I mean me, mostly) needs more vids like
