These have been familiar for many years but so far I haven’t been able to ascertain the titles, or artists in some instances.
“Boll Weevil”–a version circa 1961; the vocalist did a recitative, for the most part, singing only “I’m looking for a home.”
An Andy Williams song from 1963–perhaps titled “Loving You” or “Can’t Get Used to Losing You”; the first verse and the refrain go like this:
“Guess there’s no use in hanging 'round
Guess I’ll get dressed and do the town
I’ll find some crowded avenue
Though it will be empty without you…
Can’t get used to losing you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through, loving you…”
A Wayne Newton song (before he got the pitch of his voice lowered!) from early 1964; about all I remember of it is bits from the last verse:
“…I really think you’re sweet;
Too late now…
I love the girl who lives across the street,” approximately.
An upbeat song by Peggy Lee from 1963 or so; with lines like “Obrigado…Guy Lombardo…Pizzicato…Pizz-the-craziest…”
A blues song from about 1959, beginning with:
"Do it…
It may be love or war or moppin’ up the floor but do it…"
A lively song, a version of which was the closing theme for Jim (The Dating Game) Lange, on KMPC, a radio station in Los Angeles in the 70s:
“I’ve stayed around and played around
In this old town too long,
Summer’s almost gone and
Winter’s coming on
I’ve stayed around and played around
In this old town too long
And I feel that I’ve got to travel on!”
(In the version Lange played, just after each instance of “I feel that” in the refrain, a taxi horn would sound.)
A version of “Marianne” from the 50s, with tidbits in the lyrics like “Hurry up now!” and “My mother-in-law…Phooey!”
Can any Dopers identify these for me? Thanks very much. 
I can confirm that the Andy Williams song is called Can’t Get Used To Losing You.
Of course, I only know it from the (English) Beat’s 1980 cover version …
Thanks just the same, ruadh.
There was a cover of this song by ‘Colour Girl’ out recently.
The “Peggy Lee” one you mention sounds a bit like “Mambo Italiano,” but I think it was sung by Rosemary Clooney.
Nope, Peggy Lee it is:

Thanks, Cher!
There was a song played in Spring 1971, whose title may be “How He/She Makes Me Quiver,” or something similar. The duet is sung first by a woman, I think; the next verse by a man. At the end they sing together.
In Summer 1968 there was a song with the recurring line “Ev’rybody has to love somebody sometime,” no connection with the Dean Martin song.
There was also a song about a “surfin’ man,” a tragedy, from about April 1963… 
I have found the “Boll Weevil Song,” by Brook Benton, and the song played as a closing theme by Jim Lange (albeit apparently a different version) was “Gotta Travel On.”
Still no luck with the Wayne Newton song or “The Honeywind Blows.”
The Boll Weevil one might be “I ant Got no Home” By Clarence “Frogman” Henry.

I seem to remember “Boll Weevil” being a Southern standard from Civil War days. I could be wrong, of course.
Sorry, guys; I meant to say that I did find a copy of the record “The Boll Weevil Song,” by Brook Benton. For the most part he recites it like a poem, only singing the refrain; the guitar accompaniment in the background is the same phrase repeated throughout the song. With the other titles, however, I am still batting zero.
Since I made this posting I have found the recording, under the title of “Gotta Travel On,” by Billy Grammer.
And “Marianne” turned out to be by Terry Gilkyson and the Easyriders.
I’ms still batting zero about the others.
That would be Frank Mills and his group The Bells.
There’s another song I heard in the early 60s, perhaps a “torch song,” by a woman singer:
Love can be a dying ember, love can be a flame
Love is almost never ever the same.
I think, though, the same woman sang “Just One of Those Things,” by Cole Porter. That’s all I know…
In 1981 I heard a lovely song by Petula Clark, with lines (I can only remember fragments):
Tonight, tonight
When we love again
…Like we did back then
Also:*
He’s coming back to live forever…*
Then there was a soft-rock song I heard in 1983 when I was in an aerobics class for several weeks:
What a beautiful world this would be
What a wonderful time to be free
This, I’m sure, is ‘IGY’ from the Donald Fagen album ‘Nightfly’.
That would be “I.G.Y” by Donald Fagen, midi and lyrics here
To amplify a little, “Stay Away” is the “he/she makes me quiver duet” – the lyrics are at: http://www.summer.com.br/~pfilho/html/lyrics/s/stay_awhile.txt
Umm, that should be “Say Awhile”. Makes a difference, that one word does…
Okay, one last time, it’s Stay Awhile. Sigh…
