Round 2

Here are the 18 songs that made it through our first round:

"Double Shot (of my Baby's Love)" - The Swinging Medallions
"Up on the Roof" - The Drifters
"What Kind of Fool (Do You Think I Am)" - The Tams
"39-21-40 Shape" - The Showmen
"Backfield in Motion" - Mel and Tim
"Baby Let Me Bang Your Box" - Doug Clark and The Hot Nuts
"Give Me Just a Little More Time" - Chairmen of the Board
"Build me up Buttercup" - The Foundations
"Dancing in the Moonlight" - King Harvest
"I Love Beach Music" - The Embers
"Under the Boardwalk" - The Drifters
"Twistin' the Night Away" - Sam Cooke
"Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy" - The Tams
"Carolina Girls" - Chairmen of the Board
"Just My Imagination" - The Temptations
"Brandy, You're a Fine Girl" – Looking Glass
"Tears of a Clown" - Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
"Another Saturday Night" - Sam Cooke

There remains a great deal of animosity among beach music purists, myself included, toward "Brandy" and "Dancing in the Moonlight." Well this week is your chance to see to it that songs like this don't advance. Things are going to speed up a bit now too - this time around, 6 songs will be voted on and only the top 3 will advance to the third round, leaving us with only 9 for next week.
