937. Charlie Brown by The Coasters (1959)

Although Charlie Brown first appeared in 1950, this has nothing to do with the Peanuts character. The song follows the antics of a school kid that is something of a Bart Simpson. He's disrepectful and goofy, but not malicious. After getting in trouble, he wonders "Why is everybody always pickin' on me?"  Lieber and Stoller wrote the #2 hit. They wrote some of music's greatest hits including "There Goes My Baby", "Hound Dog", and "Stand By Me."
