| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Nov 03 07:01AM -0600 Congratulations to our FIVE co-winners, each of whom had perfect scores: DEC & Friends, Delphi Trivia Club, EJ'S & Co., Really Rockin' In Boston, and Village Idiots. Just behind the leaders were Barry Silk, who got all of the regular songs, and Will McCorry, who missed just one. On a sad note, Lori of the Vito & the Salutations team noted that their entry was "minus one of our beloved members, the late Warren Fellman, who passed away last month. We dedicate our entry to Warren!" After each song, I've given one or more audio links (YouTube, mostly), if available. Sound quality and permanence of links are not guaranteed. As always, thanks to everyone who entered! The November 2014 quiz (GOLQ #334) will be posted soon. -- Howard Teitelbaum _____________________________________________________________________________ After each score below are two characters representing the two tie-breakers: + indicates a tie-breaker answered correctly. - indicates partial credit. x indicates a totally incorrect guess. . indicates no guess.

"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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why can't our love go on forever? To let it end would surely be a sin I could never look for any other love, dear #01) Eddy Arnold: "I Wouldn't Know Where To Begin" (1956/57) [22] {-} <-> If I had forever With nothing else to do I don't know if I could show Half my love for you #02) LaVern Baker: "I Can't Love You Enough" (1956) [22] {7} <254> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY4ZkB5qRZc If you resist Look what you miss Baby, if it's late at night (nighty-night) Or if the sun is shinin' bright (brighty-bright) #03) Hank Ballard: "Do You Know How To Twist" (1962) [87] {-} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUGfsMC7G68 Nominally credited as a Hank Ballard solo, but The Midnighters provide backing vocals. Song comprises new vocals recorded over the instrumental track of the group's big 1960 hit, "Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go." I still hear your sea winds blowin' I still see her dark eyes glowin' She was twenty-one #04) Glen Campbell: "Galveston" (1969) [4] {-} <88><168> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arYwREJ2KnU (Don Ho, 1968) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHjWil-f3C8 (Glen Campbell, 1969) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_YK_L_Fr4Q (Jimmy Webb, 1972) Written by Jimmy Webb. First recorded by Don Ho in 1968, as the B-side of "Has Anybody Lost a Love?" (an uncharted single). When Ho was a guest on Glen Campbell's Goodtime Hour in 1969, he gave the host a copy of his recording, telling him "I didn't have any luck with this, maybe you will" (per Campbell's recollection of the event). Webb recorded the song himself for his 1972 album "Letters." Not sure if the 1-minute monotonic guitar intro in Webb's version is truly part of the song, or if it's an intermezzo between songs on the album. The recently released movie "Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me" documents his farewell tour in 2011/2012, which followed his announcement that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind Had to get away to see what we could find #05) Crosby, Stills & Nash: "Marrakesh Express" (1969) [28] {-} <60><168> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9p_zQxONXs (Graham Nash demo) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFijDetwdPg (CS&N) Written by Graham Nash, during his latter days as a member of The Hollies. He presented the song to his then-bandmates, but it was rejected. Before we say we're in love Are we right for each other? Can what we feel be lasting love? #06) Dale & Grace: "Stop And Think It Over" (1964) [8] {n/c} <70> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5HYZpwk7T8 Similar sound to their chart-topping "I'm Leaving It Up To You." It'll take time, I know it But in a while You're gonna be mine, I know it We'll do it in style #07) Donovan: "Sunshine Superman" (1966) [1] {-} <117> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5skVznVvk8Q She smiles so nice like she wants to come with me, uh-huh But she's tied to the dock and she can't get free #08) Every Mothers' Son: "Come On Down To My Boat" (1967) [6] {-} <9><171><259> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-056FPxXTmI (The Rare Breed, 1966) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EHe3p3cSHI (Every Mothers' Son, 1967) First done by The Rare Breed in 1966, as "Come and Take a Ride in My Boat." They know the hurt and pain Of losing a love you can never regain #09) The Four Tops: "Ask The Lonely" (1965) [24] {9} <51><177> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZG5dazL6S4 If she finds that I've been 'round to see you Tell her that I'm well and feeling fine #10) Herman's Hermits: "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter" (1965) [1] {-} <11><134><281> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsaXnZSipBA (Tom Courtenay, 1963) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA1uknS9JgM (Herman's Hermits, 1965) Originally recorded by actor Tom Courtenay for a 1963 British TV play, "The Lads"; Courtenay's original was then released as a single in the U.K. When Herman's Hermits recorded their version in 1965, they considered this old-fashioned-sounding song as LP filler, and it was not deemed worthy of U.K. single release. At the height of the British Invasion, though, any material from England was chart gold in the U.S. Sometimes she'd shop And she would show me what she'd bought #11) The Hollies: "Bus Stop" (1966) [5] {-} <6><88><147> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LoBAeogYcs (Hollies, 1966) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43RBe0hOh2A (Graham Gouldman, 2012) Second link is a recent acoustic version by composer Graham Gouldman. How long can I go on amusing myself? Night after night, sitting all alone While you're in the arms of someone else #12) The Honey Cone: "While You're Out Looking For Sugar?" (1969) [62] {26} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvC6YOXhY04 Trio is best known for their 1971 #1 hit "Want Ads." Just tuned my car, now she really peels A-lookin' real tough with chrome reverse wheels A Blue Coral wax job sure looks pretty #13) Jan & Dean: "Drag City" (1963/64) [10] {-} <53> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngMP6hhlmmk And he plays at stocks and shares And he goes to the regatta He adores the girl next door 'Cause he's dying to get at her #14) The Kinks: "A Well Respected Man" (1965/66) [13] {-} <12><233> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAjsjbC0Nd4 Why did I listen to my friends When they told me what to do? Yes, I still have my friends But I don't have you #15) Brenda Lee: "Everybody Loves Me But You" (1962) [6] {-} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJGDgjBpg7s There I found an angel An angel I could love She told me that she knew me That I'd been spoken of #16) The Ly-Dells: "Wizard Of Love" (1961) [54] {-} <27><151> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL-7YZpPD2I If I gathered all my means (all my means) In a pile beside me (in a pile) It couldn't help to fill my dreams (fill my dreams) #17) The Mamas & The Papas: "For The Love Of Ivy" (1968) [81] {-} <116> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaHMaADPFbk My mother once told me something And every word is true Don't waste your time on a fella Who doesn't love you #18) The Marvelettes: "Too Many Fish In The Sea" (1964/65) [25] {15} <48> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ5RKG2FqGo Except to pray That there'll come a day When love will start A flame in your heart #19) Rick Nelson: "There's Nothing I Can Say" (1964) [47] {n/c} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84G6F3owsZc I play the game Pretending out loud But it don't seem the same #20) Roy Orbison: "The Crowd" (1962) [26] {-} <153> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NefHFoTZjwI Let's make a vow To never, ever part #21) The Pentagons: "To Be Loved (Forever)" (1961) [48] {-} <46><193> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM115N5ebl8 For here in my arms is your place When the night grows cold And I want to hold you #22) Elvis Presley with The Jordanaires: "Don't" (1958) [1] {4} <125> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fJAxnVB338 I'm gonna buy her pretty presents Just like the ones in a catalog Gonna show how much I love her Let her know one way or the other #23) The Reflections: "(Just Like) Romeo & Juliet" (1964) [6] {n/c} <16><86> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs9JlWnc9fI Made my heart an open book Why haven't I told you? #24) Linda Scott: "I've Told Every Little Star" (1961) [3] {22} <8><122> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzbEhRyeuo4 (Jack Denny, 1932) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K-WRXProdo (Linda Scott, 1961) This song originated in the 1932 Kern/Hammerstein Broadway musical "Music In The Air," and was a hit that year for Jack Denny & His Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra, featuring vocals by Paul Small.

Every time I feel a little groove coming on, I just have to move I got a tune I play I got a song I sing I got a dance I do, yeah-yeah You can do it, too #25) Little Stevie Wonder: "Workout Stevie, Workout" (1963) [33] {n/c} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYzODvDLIgo ------------ Tie-Breakers ------------ It's the big house on the corner The rich and the poor go there You get a chance to mix with everybody Nobody seems to care #T1) The Drifters: "Three Thirty Three" (1954) [-] {-} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlTDnPhGeko How could GOLQ #333 not include this one? Recorded in October 1954, this session was Clyde McPhatter's last with the group before he embarked on his solo career.

The Spoonful's version is from their 1965 debut album, "Do You Believe in Magic"; it was also on their 1967 best-of LP. John Sebastian was closely associated with the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, who recorded the song in 1963 (vocals by Geoff Muldaur). Sebastian has performed over the years with various Jug Band alums (Kweskin, Muldaur, Fritz Richmond, etc.). Final link is a 1999 rendition by Sebastian's J-Band, featuring Muldaur's vocals and John on harmonica. _____________________________________________________________________________ The following table ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized.
