Well, here's the 1961 edition of the "A to Z" lyrics quiz.  Only 17 songs are on this list as I have omitted the letters A, F, J, K, O, U, V, X, and Z since I could not find suitable songs that start with those letters.  Limit four for now.

And remember, I'm looking for the artist who had the hit with the song in 1961, in case the song was remade.

1.  And everybody knew you didn't give no lip

2.  But it's true, so true

3.  If tin whistles are made of tin

4.  I would whisper "I do"

5.  Shoot me out of a cannon, I don't care

6.  I want you back, I think you'll change

7.  Made my heart an open book

8.  Don't fear, my darling

9.  And everything was going fine

10.  And I said no, cannot go

11.  So many days you passed me by

12.  Everybody was as happy as they could be

13.  There must be clouds in my head

14.  Or the mountain should crumble to the sea

15.  Paint rainbow all around her

16.  Nothing seems to be the same old way

17.  It may sound funny but I don't believe she's coming

Good luck.
