40. To Know Him is to Love Him - Teddy Bears
Still my choice for the eeriest no. 1 single. A teenage love song inspired by the words on a father's gravestone after he commits suicide. Also the fact that Spector's father killed himself in 1949 in NY and the Teddy Bears released the song in LA in 1958, so Spector must have had the words rattling around in his head for all those years...and suddenly he turns it into a song of teenage angst amid the California sunshine.
