It turns out that 1961 was a pretty dull year in music. There were two instrumentals in "Wonderland by Night" and "Calcutta." There were a few dance numbers like Chubby Checker's
Pony Time" and U.S. Bonds' "Quarter to Three." There's no terrible songs, but there aren't any that are really great either. But, we have to pick a winner and a loser, so let's go.
The best: Quarter to Three
Like I said, no songs really stood out this year, so I picked "Quarter to Three" because it's got good energy and a raw sound that I enjoy.
The worst: Wooden Heart
Had to be one of them.
