RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #292 (GOLQ292)

Three teams tied for first with perfect scores - congratulations to
Delphi Trivia Club, The EJ's & Co., and The GenaTeam!

Just off the pace by a single tie-breaker were Really Rockin' in Boston
and Will McCorry. The Gypsy's Caravan also did very well, missing only
one regular song.

After each song, I've given one or more YouTube links. Audio fidelity and
permanence of links are not guaranteed!

As always, thanks to everyone who entered! The June 2011 quiz (GOLQ #293)
will be posted soon.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #292 ANSWERS:
Answers are in the form:

#number) Artist: "Title" (chart year) [peak Pop] {peak R&B} <xxx>...<yyy>

where:
"peak Pop" = Peak position achieved on the weekly Billboard Pop chart.
"peak R&B" = Peak position on the weekly Billboard Rhythm & Blues chart.
(Billboard didn't publish an R&B chart between 11/30/63 and 1/23/65,
so recordings in that interval show peak R&B of {n/c} ("no chart").)
"xxx",...,"yyy" = prior GOLQ(s) in which the song appeared, if any.

And I've been close to heaven

We'll be drifting into space
#13) Merv Griffin: "The Charanga" (1961) [69] {-}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIkXFG50AkM

[Although Merv is best remembered today as a talk-show host (and as
the inventor of the "Jeopardy!" game show), he was a successful
big-band singer in the '40s and early '50s.]

You smiled at me and really eased the pain
#14) Bobby Hebb: "Sunny" (1966) [2] {3} <17><139>

So many people need me
I've got so much, so much to do
But when my travelin' is over
#15) The Hollies: "Pay You Back With Interest" (1967) [28] {-} <32><125>

[Originally recorded in 1958 by The Laurels. Rich Ardini noted that the
line "just you wait and see" also appears in Jan & Dean's follow-up
recording, "There's a Girl."]

The lawn we were proud of
Is wavin' in hay
Our beautiful garden
Has withered away
#18) Little Willie John: "A Cottage For Sale" (1960) [63] {-}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC4R36yxJRc

[Originally a hit song from 1930, most notably by Guy Lombardo & His
Royal Canadians. Mike Weaver mentioned the sad coda to Willie's
life: Convicted of manslaughter in 1966, died in prison in 1968
at age 30.]

How would you feel here in my place?

by Graham Nash. All songs on this album, which also contained song #15
above, were co-written by the Hollies' Nash, Allan Clarke, and Tony Hicks.]

He knows I'm gonna stay

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH7szheL6vc (Barry McGuire)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0UcQDUR-fU (Mamas & Papas)

[Written by John & Michelle Phillips in 1963, shortly after their marriage.
When The Mamas & The Papas formed in 1965, they got their foot in the door
with producer Lou Adler at Dunhill Records via their friendship with Barry
McGuire. In gratitude, they offered "California Dreamin' to McGuire, who
recorded the song first, with the group providing backing vocals. His
version was released on his 1965 album "This Precious Time." Instrumentals
were provided by members of the famed "Wrecking Crew": Hal Blaine (drums),
Joe Osborn (bass), Larry Knechtel (piano), and P. F. Sloan (guitar).

Adler wanted the group to re-make the song for their own first single,
which they did shortly after McGuire's version was cut. The original
instrumental backing was re-used, with all vocals (and McGuire's harmonica
solo) wiped, and new vocals and a flute solo were recorded. A faint trace
of McGuire's original vocals can be heard under the song's opening "All the
leaves are brown" line, particularly in the stereo mix (linked above) - his
distinctive rasp can be made out at low volume on the left channel. Some
sources claim that traces of his harmonica can also be heard beneath the
flute solo, but I can't detect this.

The song's alto flute solo was performed by Bud Shank, a prominent jazz
sax/flute player, who happened to be recording in an adjacent studio that
day. He was asked to provide the solo on the spur of the moment, and he
improvised it over the chord chart. In an interview, Adler recalled that
Shank actually recorded two takes, one an octave higher than the other.
What appears to be an octave jump during the solo was actually created by
editing the two takes together.]

Just because you've become a young man now
There's still some things that you don't understand now
#21) The Miracles (featuring Bill "Smokey" Robinson): "Shop Around"
(1960/61) [2] {1} <10><153>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLY74jXJ_b0 (original "Detroit" version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQGXa3FiXKM (national hit version)

[The group's original version was a local hit in the Detroit area. Berry
Gordy felt that it was too gritty/bluesy to be a national hit, so he had
the group re-record it weeks later in a smoother, more up-tempo style.]

We've already said "so long"
#22) The Moody Blues: "Go Now!" (1965) [10] {-} <47><115><211>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yq7R3vHTQg (Bessie Banks)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS3ixmsQgCk (Moody Blues)

[Originally recorded in 1964 by Bessie Banks, and co-written for her by
her ex-husband, Larry Banks. The Moody Blues' version features Denny Laine
on lead vocals; he left the group after their first album, and is probably
best known for his 1970's stint with Paul McCartney in Wings.]

Little girl, now you're mine
Come-a let me hug you
#23) Johnny Preston: "Feel So Fine" (1960) [14] {-} <121>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFbS_nVA-KI (Shirley & Lee)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOqSqMDuBSU (Johnny Preston)

[Johnny died on March 4, 2011, at age 71. This record was a remake of
Shirley & Lee's 1955 R&B hit "Feel So Good." The gimmick of Johnny
singing one verse in falsetto evokes Shirley's soprano.]

And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
#24) Merrilee Rush & The Turnabouts: "Angel Of The Morning"
(1968) [7] {-} <11><144>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drm29EmXjW0 (Evie Sands)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbUNVm1k3nU (Merrilee Rush & Turnabouts)

[Originally recorded in 1967 by Evie Sands; with Evie's usual bad luck,
the label she recorded it for (Cameo/Parkway) was in the process of
going under, so her record was never properly distributed.]

It's a year since he was here
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
#25) Dionne Warwick: "Message To Michael" (1966) [8] {5} <69><237>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rF15ugZN5U (Lou Johnson)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCrc2E61DDk (Dionne Warwick)

[This Bacharach/David composition was first recorded by Jerry Butler in
1962, as "Message to Martha," and was first released on his 1963 LP
"Need to Belong." Lou Johnson's 1964 version, as "Kentucky Bluebird
(Send a Message to Martha)," bubbled under at #104.]

Tie-Breakers

You broke the rules
You laid it down for all to see
You laid it down for all to see
#T1) The Beatles: "Sexy Sadie" (1968) [-] {-}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1WlhgbqG3g ("I've Been Good to You")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IcK4S5lDE0 ("Sexy Sadie")

[John Lennon cited The Miracles' "I've Been Good to You" (bubbled under
at #103 in '62; B-side of "What's So Good About Goodbye") as a favorite.
That song's first line is a clear influence: "Look what you've done,
you've made a fool out of someone" became "What have you done, you made
a fool of everyone." "Sexy Sadie" was written after the group's 1968 trip
to India, arising from Lennon's disillusionment with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
In fact, John originally entitled the song "Maharishi," but was convinced
(by George, reportedly) to change the title/lyrics so as to euphemize who
it was he was criticizing.]

Well, you know that I love you so
You're the sweetest thing in the wor-orld
#T2) The Monarchs: "Pretty Little Girl" (1956) [-] {-}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yM1pby4mH0

[Mike Weaver cited later versions by The Dreamweavers and The El
Sierros, both circa 1963.]

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2010-12-13,
and should be interpreted accordingly.

On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days. For further information see
my 2011-05-23 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI5GNM, QFTCI11, QFTCIMM)".

All questions were written by members of Five Guys Named Moe,
and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and
may have been retyped and/or edited by me.

** Final, Round 8 - History

1. Who was the first African-American to become a Supreme
Court justice?

2. Who was the first African-American Miss America? She had

The year was 1939 and it was for a supporting role in an
iconic film.

* Karl Marx

4. Prior to "The Communist Manifesto", Marx wrote critiques on
the works of what German philosopher?

5. With whom did Marx co-write "The Communist Manifesto"?

6. Marx's great work, published in three volumes (two of them
posthumous), is titled what?

* Famous Last Words

The following are said to be the dying words of famous people, and
while some quotes may be in dispute, these are generally identified
with these people. Name the speaker.

7. Died in 1900 at age 46. This playwright and author, glancing
around his rented room, said, "This wallpaper is killing me;
one of us has got to go."

8. Died in 1957 at age 57. This film star said, "I never should
have switched from scotch to martinis."

9. Died in 1932 at age 65. This showman said, "Curtain!
Fast music! Light! Ready for the last finale! Great!
The show looks good, the show looks good."

* Before they were Generals

10. This Russian lieutenant-general was also a poet and was
conscripted into the Red Army in 1938. He was wounded
in combat during the defense of Bryansk in October
1941. From 1942 onwards he was assigned to the Central
Scientific-Developmental Firing Range for Rifle Firearms of
the Chief Artillery Directorate of the Red Army. Name him.

11. This American general graduated from the United States
Military Academy in 1909 with a commission as a cavalary

Regiment, and using 3 armored cars, he conducted the
US's first armored-vehicle attack during the Pancho Villa
Expedition in 1916. Name him.

12. This American general graduated from the US Military Academy
in 1936. General George Patton said of him "I'm supposed to
be the best tank commander in the Army, but I have one peer...
He's the world champion." His 37th Armor Regiment was one
of the leaders in the effort to relieve the 101st Airborne
Division during the Battle of the Bulge. Name him.

* Conspiracies

13. What is Warren Commission Exhibit #399? Be specific.

14. The US Government is quick to kill any conspiracy theories
regarding the killings of JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King,
and uses what phrase to describe the three different shooters?

15. Dorothy Kilgallen conducted an interview with Jack Ruby
and later obtained a copy of Ruby's testimony to the Warren
Commission. She had told colleagues she was "about to blow
the JFK case sky high." Shortly thereafter she was found
dead... just hours after appearing on what game show?
