“Hello Goodbye” joins “I Am the Walrus” on the survey.

“Little Becky’s Christmas Wish” by five-year-old Becky Lamb will only spend this one week on the survey.  It did not make the Billboard Hot 100 but it did peak at number two on the BB Christmas chart.  It’s a horribly maudlin spoken-word record about Becky’s brother Tommy not making it home from Vietnam.

The Doors’ “Love Me Two Times” was a number 25 BB hit that will get up to number ten here.  And “Monterey” by Eric Burdon & the Animals will beat its number 15 Billboard peak by getting to number four.

Odd Observation #37: It seems like there are a lot of “oo”s in this survey.  We’ve got “Spooky,” “Chattanooga Choo Choo” and “Boogaloo Down Broadway” in consecutive spots; “Hello Goodbye,” “Snoopy’s Christmas” and “Itchycoo Park” in consecutive spots; plus “Never Too Much Love,” “Too Much of Nothing,” “In the Misty Moonlight,” and the Doors.
