| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Nov 04 10:17AM -0500 Reply-To: RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #344 (GOLQ344) Obviously, this was an extremely simple quiz, with the theme of records that reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. By the time I realized it was going to be way too simple, it was too late to go back and either choose another theme or have no theme at all. As a result, virtually every entry got a near-perfect score, although some points were deducted for incomplete titles (especially for #08) or artists (especially for #16). While some entries gave an incomplete artist for #T2, I decided to give full credit (+ instead of - in the score). My rationale is that tie-breakers are more obscure. Plus, in this particular case, the featured artist had a long solo career (and died just this year, 60 years after #T2 was an R&B #1 song) and may have released this song later in his career under just his name instead of including the additional nickname and backing band credit that appear on the original 45 for this recording. So, congratuations to all of the following, who got 500 on #01-#25: First place with 500++ - Delphi Trivia Club, James White, and, the only 500++ or 500.+ score with the full name of the #T2 artist, The Village Idiots Second place with 500+. or 500.+ - The Coasters and The EJ's and Co. Third place with 500.. - Team Teitelbaum and Will McCorry #T1 was a #1 record on the U.K. chart that didn't make any Billboard-generated chart (although another version of it made the Cashbox Bubbling Under chart). #T2, as already mentioned, was a #1 record on the Billboard R&B chart but did not make the equivalent of the Hot 100 that was published at the time it was released. I set a minimum of one song and a maximum of two songs for each year for the #01-#25 songs. However, due to a late substitution I needed to make, which would have left 1959 with no songs, I did some scrambling around and ended up with three songs for 1961. 1969 also has three songs in this quiz, but one of them is a tie-breaker, which did not count against the maximum. Also, where possible, I included the Whitburn determination of the top hit of each year. According to my Whitburn book, "The top hit is determined by most weeks at the #1 position, followed by total weeks in the Top 10, Top 40, and total weeks charted." Billboard had its own #1 for each year, which sometimes differs from this one. (For example, "Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies was the Billboard #1 for the year 1969 instead of the 5th Dimension hit used here.) I was able to do this for 10 of the 15 years. Such songs are noted in the list- ing below. I couldn't do it for the other years for three different reasons: Instrumental: 1955 - "Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White" by Perez "Prez" Prado 1960 - "The Theme From a 'A Summer Place'" by Percy Faith Artist also had the #1 hit for a different year, and I chose to use that other one: 1957 - "All Shook Up" by Elvis Presley 1968 - "Hey Jude" by the Beatles Song was used too recently in another GOLQ: 1959 - "Mack The Knife" by Bobby Darin - A different version of this song, "Moritat (A Theme From 'The Three Penny Opera')" by Lawrence Welk and His Sparkling Sextet, was used too recently in GOLQ331. I also used songs that were #1 in the months of September in 1955 (60 years ago), 1960 (55 years ago), and 1965 (50 years ago). The September 1960 #1 song would have likely been used, if eligible, in no matter what month this quiz was done because of its special place among #1 songs. A few of the songs were written by songwriters/songwriting teams who were included in a list of the Top 100 songwriters put together by Rolling Stone earlier this year. These songwriters are noted along with their rankings. (Bob Dylan was #1.)

It was the B-side of his #13 hit, "Why," which itself was a remake of a 1959 #1 song, done by Frankie Avalon. Yeah you got that somethin' I think you'll understand When I feel that somethin' #02) Beatles, The: "I Want To Hold Your Hand" (1964) [1] {n/c} Whitburn #1 hit for the year. Songwriters - Paul McCartney and John Lennon, #2 and #3, respectively, on Rolling Stone list. I've made up my mind To live in memories Of the lonesome time #03) Charles, Ray: "I Can't Stop Loving You" (1962) [1] {1} Whitburn #1 hit for the year. This song was written and originally recorded by Don Gibson. His version reached #81 in 1958. My daddy is sleepin' And mama ain't around #04) Checker, Chubby: "The Twist" (1960,1961/1962) [1,1] {2,4} #1 record for one week in September 1960 and again for two weeks in January, 1962. This is the only recording to hit #1 and then to chart again and hit #1 again. This did not happen again in the GOLQ era or for a long time after that, and it may still have been the only record with this claim to fame. (Note that I refer to "recording" and "record" and to the concept of charting again. Several songs have reached #1 but done by multiple artists. Other records have fallen out of the #1 slot for a week or so and then climbed back up.) Chubby Checker went on to have several more hit records about the twist and other dances. This is the first of two consecutive artists based in Philadelphia in this GOLQ. This song was written by Hank Ballard and originally recorded by his group, Hank Ballard and the Midnighters. Their version reached #28 earlier in 1960. Do the dance sensations That are sweepin' the nation #05) Danny & The Juniors: "At The Hop" (1957/58) [1] {1} Whitburn #1 hit for the year (1958). This is the second of two consecutive artists based in Philadelphia in this GOLQ. Like Chubby Checker, most of their hits were about particular dances or, like this one, going to a dance. He stood 6 foot 6 and weighed two-forty-five #06) Dean, Jimmy: "Big Bad John" (1961/62) [1] {-} This was a late substitution for Bobby Darin's "Mack The Knife" after the fairly recent use of "Moritat" was pointed out to me. I wanted something that fit in this slot in the alphabet (and, while keeping Paul Anka as the #01 artist, I substituted "Lonely Boy" from 1959 for "Diana" from 1957). But I had been wanting to use this song in a GOLQ for a while anyway, so I was glad to have this opportunity now. Although originally from Texas, Jimmy Dean started his career in Washington, DC. Jim Henson and the Muppets made their T.V. debut on a local show that Dean hosted there. In the last GOLQ I did, I mentioned having seen Skeeter Davis sing "Gonna Get Along Without You Now" on a T.V. show, but I didn't remember whose show it was. I now think that it was the ABC-TV show hosted by Jimmy Dean from 1963-1966. Bells will ring The-uh-uh sun will shine Whoh-oh-oh I'll be his And he'll be mine #07) Dixie Cups, The: "Chapel Of Love" (1964) [1] {n/c} Songwriters - Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry, #19 on Rolling Stone list. When my team, The Coasters, is trying to narrow down the artist possibil- ities for a song, we will often look at the lyrics to determine if they were sung by a male or a female artist. With these lyrics, in the GOLQ era, they had to have been sung by a female artist. ("I'll be his/And he'll be mine.") While there were occasional gender-specific songs sung by the opposite gender (such as "You Better Sit Down, Kids" by Cher), the great majority were sung by the expected gender. I attended a wedding earlier this year in which the two people getting married could have sung of each other, "I'll be his/And he'll be mine." But in this case, both of them are male. I wondered if there are any versions yet of "Chapel Of Love" that refer to a gay or lesbian marriage. I did a quick search on YouTube, but I didn't find any. Even Elton John sings, "I'll be hers/And she'll be mine," in his recording of this song. The same (heterosexual) couple that I mentioned in an earlier GOLQ as having used "At Last" by Etta James at their wedding also used the Bette Midler version of this song. Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars #08) 5th Dimension, The: "Medley: Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures)" 1969 [1] {6} Whitburn #1 hit for the year. This was from the musical HAIR. Group member Florence LaRue graduated from Abington High School, near Philadelphia. A local paper did a great column about her in September. You can read it at: http://tinyurl.com/nmk2qbh We just sit around and dream of those old memories Ah but one of these days I'm gonna lay down tracks #09) Gilmer, Jimmy, & the Fireballs: "Sugar Shack" (1963) [1] {1} Whitburn #1 hit for the year. I once wrote a parody of this song about meeting a guy working at a Radio Shack. Unfortunately, this guy and I would have to now "just sit around and dream of those old memories," because the Radio Shack stores have either closed or are about to close. I am sorry to see them go because I bought so many great things from them. Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone But Judy left the same time #10) Gore, Lesley: "It's My Party" (1963) [1] {1} Sadly, Lesley Gore died earlier this year, not long before she would have been able to sing "I'll be hers/And she'll be mine" to her long-time female partner. They had been planning to eventually wed until Lesley became ill with lung cancer (which she got despite being a non-smoker). She was afraid to come out in the open And so a blanket around her she wore #11) Hyland, Brian: "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" (1960) [1] {1} Two things I remember about my family's vacation in Atlantic City, NJ, in July 1960: Something called a Democratic Convention on every channel on our hotel room's T.V. and this song on the radio. At the time, Atlantic City was still a family-friendly resort. By the end of the 1960s, it was no longer a popular place to go and had fallen on hard times. By the end of the 1970s, though, it had found new life as the location of the only casinos in the U.S. outside of Nevada. But now, as casinos have opened in the surrounding states, it has fallen on hard times again. Ah, now I don't hardly know her But I think I could love her #12) James, Tommy, and the Shondells: "Crimson And Clover" (1969) [1] {-} This was one of two #1 hits by Tommy James and the Shondells. The other was their first hit, "Hanky Panky" (also written by Greenwich and Barry). Jumped out of bed Turned on the light I pulled down the shade Went to the kitchen for a bite #13) Lewis, Bobby: "Tossin' And Turnin'" (1961) [1] {1} Whitburn #1 hit for the year. If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters That would soar a thousand feet high |

In fact, when Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You", a #1 hit in 1992-93, re-charted and made it to #3 in 2012 after Whitney's death, that was noted as being the first time since "The Twist" that any recording had made the top _three_ in two separate chart runs. -- Joshua Kreitzer gromit82@hotmail.com |

Discovered while a Cavern Club coat-checker, she was naturally always linked with The Beatles. Here's a great quote from her on that topic, from a 2011 interview: "When you saw the Beatles as a kid, your first love was Paul, 'cause he had that lovely baby face. And then you went on to John, because he was rugged and very feisty. And then you went on to George, because he was just so lovely. And the last resort was Ringo. But, mind you, have you seen him lately? Who'd have thought that Ringo would turn out the cute one? He used to look like Yasser Arafat." The original Italian version of the song ("Il Mio Mondo") was recorded in 1963 by co-writer Umberto Bindi. Carl Sigman later wrote English lyrics. Come on home to your adobe And slap some mud on the wall The roof is leaking like a strainer There's loads of roaches in the hall #03) Pat Boone: "Speedy Gonzales" (1962) [6] {-} <58><117> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se9NKGpK5DY (David Dante, 1961) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMEIz3-3_SY (Pat Boone, 1962) Co-written by David Hess, who originally recorded the song in 1961 (as "David Dante"). Boone's hit version featured two notables: Mel Blanc (Speedy's actual cartoon voice) and Robin Ward (the "la-la-la" vocals). Listen, mister, can't you see I got to get back to my baby once more #04) The Box Tops: "The Letter" (1967) [1] {30} <50><127><241> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4F6qjypTcI (Box Tops, 1967) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf-b3alsmFo (Wayne Carson, date unknown) Songwriter Wayne Carson died 7/20/15 at 72.

Thompson, "Boy Watcher", 1968) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTIaRZYdGJo (O'Kaysions, 1968) The song's history is somewhat murky. Ronald Killette, as "Buck Trail," wrote & allegedly recorded an early version of "Girl Watcher" around 1958. Two 1962 recordings by Pat Parker ("Boy Watcher"; 1st two links above), with composer credit to Buck Trail, bear little resemblance to the familiar O'Kaysions track. Parker recorded it twice, for the Skyland and Heartbeat labels ("ver1" and "ver2" links, respectively). Ginger Thompson's 1968 "Boy Watcher" (also listing Trail as sole writer) is very similar to the O'Kaysions arrangement (less the gender flip); sources differ as to which of the '68 versions came first. Ginger sings the given lines as "Hey you across the street / My my but you sure look sweet". The O'Kaysions recording lists Buck Trail and (group member) Wayne Pittman as composers. Their version was first released on North State, a small North Carolina label. When ABC picked it up for national distribution, the master tape could not be located; thus, they had to create a new master via a "needle-drop" of a North State pressing. If I can't reach up and know that you'll be there Then this old world ain't spinnin' anywhere #18) Peter and Gordon: "There's No Living Without Your Loving" (1966) [50] {-} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoQt-qoGCg0 Ah-her name drives me insane #19) Tommy Roe: "Sheila" (1962) [1] {6} <15><253><306> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oECeELWJ6nA (1960 version) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zofZ5tf7pf0 (1962 hit version) Written by Roe, who first recorded the song in 1960. His 1962 remake topped the charts. Don't let your friends say you have no taste Go ahead and marry anyway #20) Jimmy Soul: "If You Wanna Be Happy" (1963) [1] {1} <9><227> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZnNwZyaGf8 (Roaring Lion, 1934) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VzFWyzmwEw (Jimmy Soul, 1963) The original 1934 calypso tune, by Roaring Lion (real name: Rafael DeLeon), was titled "Ugly Woman." Sunny afternoons that made me feel so warm inside Have turned as cold and gray as ashes As I feel the embers die #21) Spanky and Our Gang: "Sunday Will Never Be The Same" (1967) [9] {-} <10><173><291> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZQK-n_AwyE (CP&W, 1967) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy3kJt_tQrY (S&OG, 1967) Written by Terry Cashman & Gene Pistilli. Their group (Cashman, Pistilli and West) recorded the song first. Cashman, regarding Spanky's version, noted: "They changed it, and they added the vocal, 'Ba-da-da-da-da,' which was a great hook." Exactly what you say In that very special way #22) The Turtles: "You Showed Me" (1969) [6] {-} <30><137><188> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX2qLbu45CI (Byrds, 1964 acoustic) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sHCEYjNYsI (Byrds, 1964 electric) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyJ46ATQN7Q (Turtles, 1969) Written by Gene Clark and Jim (Roger) McGuinn of The Byrds. They recorded several versions in 1964, just as the group was coalescing, but never released it at the time. The Byrds' acoustic version was finally released on the 1969 "Preflyte" LP, which compiled much of their early material. She left you last night And today you called me on the phone Asked me if you could come over 'Cause you didn't want to be alone #23) Mary Wells: "Your Old Stand By" (1963) [40] {8} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPscMdeX4Uc I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right I'll never forget the sound that night #24) Wilson, J.
