I know all of them.

You'd probably know at least numbers two and three I would think. Without You was a huuuuuge hit (Can't live, if livin' is without you.....) and Brand New Key is pretty well known as well (I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key....). The Chicory Tip one is more obscure, but I have it on a couple of compilation albums.

My birthday songs are very sad:
UK - Apache (The Shadows)
US - It's Now Or Never (Elvis)
Aust - Clap Your Hands (Beau Marks - whoever the hell he is ).

Oh, THAT "Without You". Its so pathetic I assumed it was early 80s.
The other two don't seem at all familiar still.
