Mystery songs...

[Jarlaxle]

I have two songs...they are on an old mix tape I have had for about 20 years...it is labeled as being a mix of The Capris, The Wizards, and The Beach Boys...indeed, that is at least partially true (Morse Code Of Love is on the tape, aalong with a bunch of Beach Boyts that seem to mostly be covers of other similar stuff). I am hoping someone here can ID them. Both have a distinct 50's feel.

Song 1, tentative title She's My Girl:

There they stood
In the eyes of man
My buddy, my girl
With his ring on her hand
The preacher turned around (turned around)
And this he said
"Has anybody got a reason
Why this couple can't be wed?"
And I cried...

(Underlined part is louder, sounds like a slight key change.)
She's my girl (she's my girl)
He can't have her! (can't have her)
She's my girl (she's my girl)
And I'll never, never (never-never-never)
Let her go

The people turned around (turned around)
Wond'ring what they'd see (what they'd see)
A tear fell from my eye
When I heard them laugh at me
I looked at my love (looked at my love)
Said I'd trouble her no more
When suddenly she rushed into my arms
And we walked out the door

(instrumental break)

The years have passed by {passed by)
With a daughter and a son (daughter and a son)
It really is amazing, Lord...
How I fought for her and I won...

She's my girl.. (Repeats and fades out)

Song 2...this one CANNOT be 's, though is clearly meant to sound like a 50's tune...tentative title The Fabulous 50's:
(I'm less sure on the lyrics of this one, it's been a while...)

I wrote this song to tell you
Of the tunes that we did sing
On the street-corner nightclubs (could be "the street corners and nightclubs")
To the girls who wore our rings
I was a part of it then
And now it's back again
Yes it's the 50's, come alive

Vanilla malts Chocolate shakes
Well-done fries, and Philly cheese steaks
And ohhhh, the dancing
At the jukebox place
Yes it's the 50's, come alive

We wore our leather jackets
And our penny-loafer shoes
The hit (hip?) songs faded back in
Lord knows we paid our dues
I was a part of it then
And now it's back again
Yes it's the 50's, come alive

We tolerated rock-n-roll, the discos, and the funk
But in the final analysis
We don't really need that junk
Just a song (just a song)
We hold dear (we hold dear)
And we're back again this year (next year?)
Yes it's the 50's, come alive

Yes I was a part of it then
And now it's back again
Yes it's the 50's, come alive...(fade out)

Not sure if you use apps but I have one called SoundHound that is great for "listening" to and identifying songs.


Not sure what the titles of these songs might be. Sorry.

 

[Mr. H.]

Is that like Shazam?

Is that like Shazam?

I think so but even better imo.
