I was thinking of the Mary Hopkin version which was in 1969. Bobby Vinton did it the year before. I was (and still am) a Beatle fan and she did it on Apple Records so that was the one I knew. You are still right.

E10. Dear Doctor - The Rolling Stones

[sygazelle]

51. Poor poor pitiful me - Linda Ronstadt

[Vindicator3]

All correct answers above, except I was thinking of the original "Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats" (actually Ike Turner and the Kings of Rhythm, with Brenston on vocals) version of Rocket 88 rather than the James Cotton cover, and the Warren Zevon original of Poor Poor Pitiful Me rather than Linda's cover.

Expanded clues for those unsolved -

16. Been to Yokohama, been fightin' in the war,
Army bunk, Army chow, Army clothes, Army car
(title, title, title) for me to be involved in

Workin' in the filling station too many tasks,
Wipe the windows, check the tires, check the oil, dollar gas
(title, title, title) for me to be involved in

17. When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump in my car and I throw in my guitar
My heartbeat in time with my breathing

(chorus)

Well my buddy Jim Bass he's a workin' pumpin' gas
and he makes two fifty for an hour
He's got rhythm in his hands as he's tapping on the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower

EARLY ROCK & ROLL

44. Feel a little tired, feeling under the gun
Well, All of Chuck's children are out there playing his licks

45. Nothing but blues and Elvis and somebody else's favorite song

46. Well, we busted out of class
Had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three-minute record, baby,
than we ever learned in school

PERSONAL SAFETY

47. Between the store front shadows and the street lights glow
Everybody walks right by like they're safe or something
They don't know


RANDOM OBJECTS

49. Every day a little sadder
A little madder
Someone get me a ladder

52. Red VW Microbus, took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction

53. To the abandoned old prison down by Airdrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes we'd shot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill

JOBS/PROFESSIONS/WORKING

54. All I really know is I don't need no priest
Hangin' religion around my back
Be it science-fiction, theory, or fact

57. Nothing matters but the weekend
from a Tuesday point of view
Like a kettle in the kitchen
I feel the steam begin to brew
(chorus)

Now here's a new twist for today's new fun - name that tune in one word. Because of the likelihood that these words are used in multiple songs despite being seemingly rare, the correct answers must come from the classic rock canon (with my personal opinion serving as the only arbiter of what that is), so a hip-hop song or a country song or even some obscure track on side 2 of an early Floyd album doesn't count. If it got airplay on AOR stations back in the day (even if it was never a hit single), or if it's anything by the Beatles, it's probably the answer I'm looking for.

Part 1 of this today, part 2 tomorrow, then I'm done posting these for a while (maybe I'll do it again at Christmas), but I'd love to see some other quizzes posted by others in the meantime, once we clear the decks of these.
