So, three of those 7 were on the chart this week- and one of them was in the top ten this week. They did it psychedelic, Joan Jett did it slutty.

The one that started not only their career but the idea for this post. Another of my three favorites, it peaked at #2. At least it was when I was a teenage drunk. #4- Mony Mony- The favorite 'change the words' anthem of teenage drunks everywhere. #5- I Think We're Alone Now- the song Tiffany would later slaughter stopped at #4. #6- Sweet Cherry Wine- a song I wish our gang infected youth would learn- 'Only God has the right, to decide who's to live and die.' It peaked at #7. #7- Mirage- one of my three favorites, it stopped at #10. And your only clue- here are the top 7 highest charting hits of Tommy James and the Shondells, with their final Billboard peaks: Bonus points if you get all three of the ones that were on the chart this week, somewhere in between 1966-1970. Your task should you choose to accept it, is guess which one is going to be in our top ten this week- and thus, the highest that they ever charted on this week. All of these were among their top eight charting hits, which I will reveal in mere moments. Now, on this week in history, the Shondells had three songs on the chart in three different years. Oh, and this was the week that three different versions of Here Come Da Judge hit the charts simultaneously, as featured on Time Machine vol. first rode into the charts with The Horse.

And we are taking a time machine trip to this week in '68, the week that the 5th Dimension first hit the charts with Stoned Soul Picnic, and Cliff Nobles and Co. Charles DeGaulle heads off revolution by dissolving Parliament and calling new elections, and The Beatles begin work on what the world will call, 'The White Album'. Which one? Well, you'll have to wait for this week's top ten. And I thought, 'Why not do a TJ&S Time Machine? ' So here we are, in the year that the Shondells had their highest charting hit on this week. 1968? Yes, 1968, because today I put Tommy James and the Shondells in the cd player and it made me feel good.
