| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Jun 19 03:12PM -0500 RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #340 (GOLQ340) Congratulations to all of the following, who, with scores of 500+., took first place in this quiz: John Fox, The EJ's and Co, NAVAIRHEADS, DEC & Friends, The Village Idiots, Vito and the Salutations, 4 State Trivia Guys, and Delphi Trivia Club. Close behind, with scores of 500.., were Team Teitelbaum, Virve Harkonen, Mike Weaver, and Will McCorry. For the second time in a row for one of my GOLQs, no entry correctly identified #T2. Unlike the last time, I actually picked this song early, while I picked #T1, which was correctly identified by 9 entries, at the end. Also, I had actually heard #T2 on the radio when it was first released, and the two members who qualified this group for inclusion in this themed GOLQ went on to bigger and better things. Finally, this song was done by at least two other alphabetically- fitting (in relation to #T1), although not theme-fitting, artists. The theme for this GOLQ was groups in which all or some of the members were siblings. I also added two groups with Brothers/Bros. in their name even though the members were not brothers. I considered using two other such groups, the Brothers Four and the Statler Brothers. I decided that since the Brothers Four were in GOLQ339, I would not use them in this one. I had planned to replace the DeCastro Sisters with the Statler Brothers after I realized that there could be ambiguity with two charting versions by them of "Teach Me Tonight," plus the song by the Fontane Sisters was from the same time period and genre. However, in my haste to get this quiz released, I forgot to make this substitution. While I had thought that none of the Statler Brothers were really brothers, I learned after I released this quiz that this group did include two actual brothers. In addition to the Brothers Four, two other groups that I considered but didn't use because they had been in other recent GOLQs were the Browns (three siblings) and the Newbeats (two brothers plus an unrelated third member). A parent of the sibling members of at least two of the groups represented here, the Cowsills (mother) and the Rocky Fellers (father), was also part of the group. At least three groups--the Beach Boys, the Pips, and the Ronettes--also included cousins of the group's siblings. The Shangri-Las consisted of two pairs of sisters, including a set of twins. Other groups in this GOLQ that included twins are the Bee Gees and the Kalin Twins (duh). Also, one of the songs was written by a famous three-man songwriting team in which two of the three are brothers. Another famous three-man songwriting/ production team produced two of the records in this quiz (both of which went to #1) and also wrote one of them. Although they were not brothers, they had a few hit record of their own after they formed a group in which they took on the same last name and marketed themselves as brothers. Several entries identified the theme, but John Fox said it best--"Let's hear it for [Freddie] Marsden, Tom Fogerty, Dave Davies, Estelle Bennett, Muff Winwood, Bubba Knight, Randy Zehringer, and other 'lesser known' siblings." GOLQ340's mean score was 475.00, and the median was 500. My thanks to everyone who participated.

They went through several personnel changes both before and after this hit. One of their later members was Bernadette Carroll, who had some solo hits, including "Party Girl." "My Boyfriend's Back" was written and produced by the team of Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein, and Richard Gotteher (F-G-G). The three of them formed their own group, The Strangeloves, which had a few hits, including "I Want Candy." However, they didn't use their real names or their real hometown of Brooklyn, NY, USA. Instead, they were Giles, Miles, and Niles Strange, supposedly brothers from Australia. So it is fitting that a song connected to the members of another figurative brothers group is included in this GOLQ. In fact, another recording produced by F-G-G connected even more closely to the Strangeloves appears later in this GOLQ. I've been in this town so long It's back in the city I've been taken for lost and gone And unknown for a long, long time #02) Beach Boys, The: "Heroes and Villains" (1967) [12] {-} This is one of the best-known groups in which some but not all of the members are brothers. Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson were joined by their cousin Mike Love and the unrelated Al Jardine for much of their GOLQ-era existence. With many songs from which to choose, I picked this one because it was the only GOLQ-era single of theirs to be originally released on their own Brother label. After this one release, they reverted back to Capitol until 1970's "Add Some Music to Your Day." Now I'm crying But deep down inside Well I did it to him Now it's my turn to die #03) Bee Gees, The: "I've Gotta Get a Message to You" (1968) [8] {-} Bee Gees stands for "Brothers Gibb." The brothers in this group were Barry and twins Robin and Maurice Gibb. (Another brother, Andy, had a solo career starting in the 1970s.) At the time of this record, the group included two other members, Vince Melouney and Colin Peterson. However, both of them left shortly afterward. Most people mainly associate the Bee Gees with the disco craze of the late 1970s and have almost forgotten about their earlier hits (if they even knew about them at all). While I do like a few of their later songs, I prefer their earlier hits from the 1967-1972 time period. The room will change today I have no place to stay Thinking about the subway #04) Chambers Brothers, The: "Time Has Come Today" (1968) [11] {-} The brothers in this group were George (bass), Willie (guitar), Lester (harmonica), and Joe Chambers (guitar). The drummer was Brian Keenan. I messed up on the lyrics for this one. The word "room" should be "rules." This was pointed out to me before I sent out the final version of this quiz, but when I played it again then, I thought I was still hearing "room." I played it on a better piece of equipment later and decided that it really was "rules." The same person thought "Thinking" should be "I'm thinking," but I didn't hear it this way any time that I played it. And I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew) She had made me happy (happy, happy) (She had made me very happy) Flowers in her hair (in her hair) Flowers everywhere (everywhere, everywhere) #05) Cowsills, The: "The Rain, The Park & Other Things" (1967/68) [2] {-} The Cowsills were a seven-member group consisting of siblings Bill, Bob, Paul, Barry, John, and Susan plus their mother, Barbara.They were the inspiration for the 1970s T.V. series, THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY. I have heard that the Cowsills themselves were originally supposed to star in this series. It ain't me It ain't me I'm no Senator's son #06) Creedence Clearwater Revival: "Fortunate Son" (1969) [14] {-} Several years ago, I put together a list of four-man groups in which the most famous member of the group also had a lesser-known brother in the group. I came up with seven such groups, five of which are in this GOLQ. The only ones that aren't are the Bobby Fuller Four (best-known member - Bobby Fuller; brother - Randy Fuller; other members - Jim Reese, DeWayne Quirico) and post- GOLQ-hitmakers Dire Straits (best-known member - Mark Knopfler; brother - David Knopfler; other members - John Illsley, Pick Withers). Creedence Clearwater Rival is one of these groups: Best-known member - John Fogerty. Brother - Tom Fogerty. Other members - Stu Cook, Doug Clifford. I have wanted to use this song in a GOLQ for a while. I lived in the Wash- ington, DC, area during the anti-war protests of the late 1960s and early 1970s. My parents sent me to a private school run by liberals who closed the school on days of major protests so that students could participate if they so desired. My parents' liberalism didn't go that far, though, so I was never permitted to put myself in danger of arrest, injury, or worse by attending such rallies. But at least one boy in my school made it to one of the protests. As I watched the 6:00 p.m. news coverage of the event, I saw him interviewed on camera. He was a fairly new student then, and I didn't know much about him except for his name. He had the same common last name as one of the most outspoken anti-war U.S. Senators of that time, but I never made the connection. Several days after I saw him on T.V., I learned that he was indeed that Senator's son. "Fortunate Son," part of a two-sided hit with "Down on the Corner," had just started being played on the radio at that time, and every time I've heard it since then, I've thought of my former schoolmate who really was a Senator's son but still spoke out against what he (and his family) thought was an unjust war. This is another one where I messed up on the lyrics. Someone told me that the third line should begin with "I ain't" instead of "I'm." I originally heard "I'm" there, but when I played the song on the better equipment later, I did hear "I ain't." And I'm so glad we made it So glad we made it #07) Davis, Spencer, Group: "Gimme Some Lovin'" (1968) [7] {-} One of the better-known members - Steve Winwood. Brother - Muff Winwood. Other members - Spencer Davis (also one of the better-known members), Pete York. One thing isn't very clear, my love Should the teacher stand so near, my love Graduation's almost here, my love #08) DeCastro Sisters, The: "Teach Me Tonight" (1954/55) [2] {-} The three DeCastro Sisters were Peggy, Babette, and Cherie. They were from Cuba, back when there was freer movement between there and the U.S. In 1959, they re-did this song as "Teach Me Tonight Cha-Cha." That one peaked at #75. Because both versions contain these lyrics, I would have accepted either one as the correct answer. While every entry mentioned this version, Mike Weaver and NAVAIRHEADS also mentioned the Cha-Cha version. This song has been re- corded by a lot of artists, but somehow I had managed to never hear or even hear of it until Neil Diamond performed it on a T.V. special in 1988. Even- tually, he put a live version on his 2003 box set, STAGES. The reference in these lyrics to graduation was meaningful to me because my niece Celia just graduated from college! Never had you on my mind Now you're there all the time #09) Everly Brothers, The: "('Til) I Kissed You" (1959) [4] {22} Don and Phil Everly were probably the most famous sibling recording duo of all time. I haven't kept up with hit music in recent years, but it would be very heard for anyone to have surpassed them. |
