BONUS TRACK #1:  A Camp  ~  “Psycho”  (This is actually the same song as #14 above. But this version manages to be FAR LESS creepy! Also, Nina Persson’s vocals are way more lovely than those of that Beasts Of Bourbon guy – but then again, he was obviously going for the “ick factor.” And nailed it, I might add.)




BONUS TRACK # 2:  Poe  ~  “Trigger Happy Jack”  (While the word “Psycho” doesn’t appear anywhere in the title of this song, it does figure prominently throughout the chorus – plus, I happen to like the song, so here it is!)

Popular Songs Of 1965, Vol. 2


One last round of Swinging Sixties hits, then we take a break from this series for a little while. I think you'll find that you're at least somewhat familiar with most of these songs, if you've spent any time at all over the past couple of decades listening to "oldies" music. If you just happen to be old enough to remember them when they came out fifty years ago, then maybe this is a bit of nostalgia for you as well. Enjoy!  ~  JH
