96 Tears (Dedicated to Ronnie C. and Family)

On this day in musical history in 1966, Question Mark and the Mysterians hit the #1 spot in the US Singles Chart with 96 Tears.

A while back I was talking to my friend Ronnie from Lulubelle III and we thought it would be funny to see if we could find 96 cover versions of of 96 Tears, so here goes (Not all the songs are by signed artists and some are a little bizzare to say the least!). 

I'd like to dedicate this blog to Ronnie and his family who recently lost their Mother.
