You will have to wait until Dan posts the correct answers to see how many I got! There were a few ones I'm fairly certain on, the rest are more or less wild guesses. (Of which I have later confirmed one seems to be correct and one is wrong.) -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |

| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Aug 09 06:59PM -0500 GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #343 (GOLQ343) Hello everyone, and welcome to the August edition of the quiz. For this edition of the quiz I have departed from my usual audio snippet format and opted to use the traditional text lyrics format instead. There are two closely related themes in the quiz, one being a "SUBset" of the other. It is difficult to say how many of each there are since many lyric sets contain both elements. By my reckoning this quiz may be a bit of a "toughy," although the themes may help a bit. One last note; results and scoring probably will not be published until the latter part of September. I hope that will not be an inconvenience for anyone. Have fun everyone.

How far is the journey From here to a star? And if I ever lost you How much would I cry? #09) Feel like jumpin' Baby won't ya join me please I don't like beggin' But now I'm on bended knees #10) Oh what I'd give Just to sail back to shore Back to your arms once more Oh come to my rescue Oh come here to me #11) ...sending my boyfriend Somewhere across the sea I know I'll cry my heart out When they take him from me #12) He trudged the dunes and the mangrove swamps Where pirates hid and the gators romped sharks and barricudas swam Lying in wait #13) Deiner Heimat ist das Meer Deiner Freunde sind die Sterne Ueber Lido und Shanghai Ueber Bali und Hawaii Deiner Liebe ist dein Schiff Deiner Sinsucht ist die Ferne #14) I've stood upon the pyramids of Egypt Far away across the ocean blue I've seen the island beauties of Hawaii But I've never seen a beauty like you #15) If you like the Taste of a lobster stew Served by a window With an ocean view #16) Floating on a sea of shattered dreams To a isle of tears and woe No other love could rescue me, baby From this isle of loneliness Until you come and save me, baby I'll be marooned like this #17) Hey everybody gather round Listen to that bongo sound Grab the first one in your reach Now we're going to shake the beach #18) Everyone was there just waiting for me There were plenty of Stingrays and XKEs #19) You're really learning You're doing fine I like the crazy way you sway 'Cause when I got you on my mind you melt the night away. #20) The truth is America's real trouble doesn't lie in the rice paddies of Vietnam, in the masses of Red China, or in the diabolical intrigues to the South of us.
