Mike Florio beat me to a 1968 quiz, and I had to revamp the quiz I was to do, but here it is.

We're getting closer to the end of the 1960's with the 1968 "A to Z" lyrics quiz.  There are 21 here, with none starting with the letters K, Q, U, X, or Z.  Limit four for now.

Remember, if a song is a remake or has been remade, I'm looking for the artist who had the hit with it in 1968.

1.  Didn't they try to find some good in you and me?

MNIK 2.  Fire all of your guns at once
Born to Be Wild--Steppenwolf

3.  You treated me mean

4.  You can't see the forest for the trees

MNIK 5.  A butcher, a baker, a drummer and then
Everyday People--Sly & the Family Stone

6.  You fought hard and you saved and earned

7.  Reflections of the music that is mine

MNIK 8.  You were made to go out and get her
Hey Jude--The Beatles

9.  Or a honey-lovin' mama bear

10.  I was washed up and left for dead

11.  My father left, he never even married Mom

MNIK 12.  Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you
Mrs. Robinson--Simon & Garfunkel

13.  When I gonna finish, I do

14.  Within the prison walls of my mind

15.  I see your face underneath my pillow

16.  You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow

17.  And look like nothing's gonna come my way

18.  I didn't even know you, you couldn't've been too much more than ten

19.  But she sure looks different than the way she looked before

20.  You'd better think about it twice

21.  And now it hurts to know the truth

Good luck.

Also, dances mentioned in the song are boogaloo and Philly
Group's name--the last word originally had six letters, the "G" was somehow dropped
