438.2 Who Sang That
These three songs hit the charts in 1960. Can you tell me the
title and the artist for that year?

438.2.1 Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor,
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,

438.2.2 Well, the old folks say that ya gotta end your date by ten
If you're out on a date and you bring it home late it's a
sin
You know there's no excusin'
You know you're gonna lose and never win

438.2.3 Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you to carry me through

===== FACTOIDS =====
factoid: a briefly stated and usually trivial fact

The first shot of World War II in Europe was fired 20 years, 9 months,
19 days and 18 hours after the last shot of World War 1 was fired. It
was fired from the 13,000 ton German gunnery training battleship
Schleswig Holstein (Captain Gustav Kleikamp) which was on a visit to
Poland to honor the sailors lost on the German cruiser Magdeburg sunk
in 1914, some of whom were buried in Danzig. It was anchored in Danzig
(now Gdansk) harbor at the mouth of the River Vistula. At 4.30 am on
September 1, 1939, the ship moved slowly down the Port Canal and took
up position opposite the Westerplatte (an area containing Polish troop
barracks, munitions storage and workshops) and at 4.47 am, at point
blank range, the order to 'Fire' was given. World War 11 had begun.
Seven days later, on September 7, after a heroic defence by Major
Henryk Sucharski and his troops, and a devastating attack by Stuka
dive bombers, the 200 man Westerplatte Garrison surrendered.

The Schleswig Holstein berthed at Gdynia (Gotenhafen) till the end of
the war. Attacked by the RAF on December 18, 1944, twenty eight crew
members were killed. Attacked again in March, 1945, the burning ship
was scuttled near the port on March 21.
