MusicFilter: You all know "Denise." I need songs like that in genre, year, and theme.
I'm making a mix for my parents for Christmas, and it's a lot harder than I thought it would be. My dad LOVES "Denise" and also "Blueberry Hill" and also "Peggy Sue." Please tell me other things that they might like!

Sounds similar to Rag Doll by the Four Seasons, so any of their songs but please also consider my true love, The Zombies.

Oops, sorry, didn't see you already mentioned Peggy Sue.
I've been in the office 14 hours, please just let me go home.
