Game 3

Windows Down, Radio On

The Fourth of July, 1964

The game's question

Go slowly, one sentence at a time. If the name comes early, you can stop right there.

Summer 1964: car windows rolled down, a cooler on the back seat, the radio turned up. On July 4, while families gathered for picnics and fireworks, “I Get Around” reached No. 1. It was the group’s first No. 1 hit. Two years later, “Good Vibrations” took them to the top again. Circle their name together.

  • The Four Seasons
  • The Beach Boys
  • The Drifters
Need a hint?

Their name tells you where to find them on a summer day: on the sand, by the waves. The second word is simply what they were: young men.

Answer: The Beach Boys—their first No. 1, on July 4, 1964.

Why this game : Summer hits carry the smell of suntan lotion and the long drives of family vacations. Each one opens up a different summer.
