The Beatles topped the Billboard Hot 100 the week of May 18, 1965, with ‘Ticket to Ride,’ their eighth #1 on the chart and second of 1965.
In second that week was Herman’s Hermits’ ‘Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter,’ featured a couple of weeks ago when it was at #1. How many acts saw themselves kicked out, or kept out, of the top spot by The Beatles?
That brings us to #3, where Gary Lewis and the Playboys landed with ‘Count Me In.’ This song peaked at #2 the week before. It was the group’s second single, and the second of seven straight to reach the top ten (a record they share with The Lovin’ Spoonful).
If you need someone to count on, count me in
Someone you can rely on through thick and thin
When you start to count the ones that you might ever doubt
If you think of counting me, count me out
[Verse 2]
When you count the ones that want you, count me, too
And if I’m not first on your list, count me blue
Just be sure you count on me and when the counting’s through
Count me madly in love with you
[Bridge]
Woo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
Woo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
[Verse 3]
If you need someone to count on when you’re down
And all your other friends you’ve lost, count me found
Just be sure you count on me when you’re down and out
Count me in through thick and thin or it don’t count
[Verse 2]
When you count the ones that want you, count me, too
And if I’m not first on your list, count me blue
Just be sure you count on me and when the counting’s through
Count me madly in love with you
[Outro]
Woo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
Woo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
Meet Me In Montauk 
I’ve heard of Gary Lewis and the Playboys, but I’ve never heard this song before.
Don’t know this song either. I was probably busy getting ready for my wedding 😊
