| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jul 04 01:44AM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-05-30, 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 to the newsgroup in a single followup, 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. All questions were written by members of the Usual Suspects and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see my 2016-05-31 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". I wrote one of these rounds. * Game 2, Round 9 - Science, or is it Science & Leisure? - Cat Pictures It is well known that the principal uses of the Internet are watching pornography and looking at pictures of cats. Since we are totally family-values-oriented in this league, we'll concentrate on the kittehs. Watch your table talk in this round. For the first two questions in this round, we'll name a breed of cat and ask you to indicate the picture on the handout: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/2-9/meow.pdf (Hey, at least it's in color this time.) 1. Abyssinian. 2. Sphynx. Please complete questions #1-2 before decoding the rot13 for #3-6. For these questions we'll give you a picture number, and you have to tell us which breed is shown. Just the breed, not the coloring; these are one-word answers. 3. Cvpgher friragrra. 4. Gur sbhegrragu cvpgher. 5. Gur arkg cvpgher nsgre gung. 6. Cvpgher ryrira. Please complete questions #1-6 before decoding the rot13 for #7-10. These remaining questions will not be about specific breeds but rather about the distinctive coloration and markings exhibited by certain cats, both pure and mixed breeds. 7.

Gbltre. ** Game 2, Round 10 - Challenge Round - Brought to you by Fords This is the challenge round, and your categories are Ford, Fords, Fords, Fords, Fords, and fords. Naturally, an answer of "Ford" is not sufficient on any question. * A. Canadiana: Ford A1. Officially, Rob Ford was Mayor of Toronto for 4 years, from December 1 of 2010 until the same date in 2014. But his practical power was ended earlier in a special action by the city council. Within 2 months, give the month and year when they reduced Ford to a figurehead. A2. After his term as mayor, Rob Ford became a city councillor again. Give the *number* of his ward. * B. History: Fords B1. Who killed Jesse James? B2. When this man was born, his name was Leslie Lynch King Jr. Under what name did he become famous? * C. Literature: Fords C1. In what futuristic novel are dates given according to "the year of our Ford", meaning Henry Ford? C2. This British writer lived from 1873 to 1939. His original surname was Hueffer, but he most certainly fits the category of the round. His best-known works include the novel "The Good Soldier" and the "Parade's End" series. Who was he? * D. Sports: Fords D1. In major-league sports in the US, which team plays home games in a facility with the name Ford on it? City and team name required. D2. This pitcher for the New York Yankees in the 1950s and 1960s set a career record for winning percentage that still holds, with 236 wins and only 106 losses. Name him. * E. Entertainment: Fords E1. Movies starring this Canadian-born actor, who was married for a while to Eleanor Powell, included "Gilda", "The Big Heat", and the original "3:10 to Yuma". One of his last appearances was in "Superman" (1978) as Jonathan Kent. Who was he? E2. John Ford won the Oscar for Best Director 4 times, a record that still stands. One win was for "Stagecoach". Name any of the other three. * F. Geography: fords F1. What's the capital city of Connecticut? F2. Speaking of Connecticut, what place name in Connecticut also occurs both in England and in Ontario -- with all three places being connected to the same writer? -- Mark Brader | "Go have a life -- but I'm telling you right now, Toronto | you will be bored sick.

Misrepresentation of American Indians on movies and TV, as well as the ongoing siege at Wounded Knee. (Anything along these lines was sufficient.) 4 for Marc, Pete, Dan, and Calvin. > 2.

| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Jul 03 10:34AM -0700 RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #353 (GOLQ353) Congratulations to DEC & Friends, Delphi Trivia Club, and Village Idiots, who tied for first with nearly-perfect scores. They only missed #T2, which was a complete stumper for all entrants. Just behind were Really Rockin' In Boston (off the pace by a tiebreaker), followed by The EJs (missing just one regular song). As a few entrants noted, even my quizzes that have "no particular themes" have an implied theme of "homage to the recently departed." In this case, that included songs #01, 02, 08, 12, and 14. Song #20 became part of this group during the running of the quiz. Each song has one or more audio links (quality and permanence not guaranteed). As always, thanks to everyone who entered! The July 2016 quiz (GOLQ #354) 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The need for you Just to be with you Is the reason why I plead to you #01) Lee Andrews and The Hearts: "Try The Impossible" (1958) [33] {-} <27><151><322> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkKdaF8cPLQ Lee Andrews (Arthur Lee Andrew Thompson) died 3/16/16 at 79. His son Ahmir Thompson, known as Questlove, is a prominent musician and producer. You know my heart will never let you go You know my love for you is on the square When I wake up in the morning, I find you right there #02) The Belmonts: "Tell Me Why" (1961) [18] {-} <33><250> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_F9yXtYAXU (NF&RR, 1957) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioaa8uaeGrY (Belmonts, 1961) Carlo Mastrangelo, the group's baritone (and lead singer on this recording), died 4/4/16 at 78. The song was originally recorded by Norman Fox and The Rob-Roys in 1957, and was written by Buzzy Helfand, the Rob-Roys' bass. Both groups hailed from the Bronx. He's lost in the wilderness He's lost in bitterness #03) James Brown and The Famous Flames: "It's A Man's Man's Man's World" (1966) [8] {1} <91> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAI91vPEChA (T. Montgomery, "I Cried", 1963) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk5V--cqoAs (JB unreleased, 1964) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f50O871TBds (JB hit version, 1966) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb-B3lsgEfA (JB & Pavarotti live, 2002) Songwriting is credited to Brown and then-girlfriend, Betty Jean Newsome. They offered conflicting accounts of how much each contributed to it. In 1963, Tammy Montgomery (before adopting her stage name of Tammi Terrell) recorded "I Cried" for JB's "Try Me" label; this has the same chord progression, so is arguably a precursor to IAMMMW. Brown recorded an early version (as "It's a Man's World") in 1964. This version remained unreleased until the CD era. Last link is a live version performed in 2002 by JB with Luciano Pavarotti. It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns now that bind me Or something that somebody said because they thought we fit together walkin' #04) Glen Campbell: "Gentle On My Mind" (1967/68) [39] {-} <53> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGs1IUS7ugg (John Hartford, 1967) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Clv7X7I09xg (Glen Campbell, 1967) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Bon3WIhDq4 (JH & GC live) Written & first recorded by John Hartford, appearing on his 1967 LP "Earthwords & Music." When they see me walkin' down the street (hey, hey, hey) When the fellas want to speak (hey, hey, hey) On their faces they wear a silly smirk #05) The Capitols: "Cool Jerk" (1966) [7] {2} <6><105> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27PydomerjM Written by group member Donald Storball. The Detroit variation of the jerk that Storball was writing about was evidently dubbed the "pimp jerk." Not surprisingly, he decided to alter the title/lyrics to make the song more radio-friendly. Backing musicians were moonlighting members of Motown's legendary "Funk Brothers." She took my love, said she's not comin' back Thought my world and my sky would all turn to black Now I see the light, I'm wise to her #06) Dion: "Lovers Who Wander" (1962) [3] {16} <129> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzOTVRZElPg I love you so, I always will And in your voice, I hear a choir of carousels #07) The 5th Dimension: "Wedding Bell Blues" (1969) [1] {23} <77><268> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvKzCspqGgQ (Laura Nyro, 1966) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn5fZIV_ygk (5th Dimension, 1969) Written & first recorded by Laura Nyro in 1966; her single bubbled under at #103. The protagonist's name "Bill" was apropos to the 5th Dimension, as lead singer Marilyn McCoo was then engaged to bandmate Billy Davis Jr. (They've been happily married since 1969.) Ask yourself And ask the friendly dove Why bluebirds mate above #08) Gogi Grant: "Who Are We" (1956) [62] {-} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SD1eB8FWfU Gogi died on 3/10/16 at 91. After recording "Who Are We", in November 1955, there was some spare time left in the session. Label owner Herb Newman suggested a song he'd co-written; thus was born her subsequent release, "The Wayward Wind," which was her biggest hit. The EJs noted that the label also credits Buddy Bregman's Orchestra and Chorus. I don't need her Don't need her kind of heartaches and pain She's gonna have to see Things now can never be The same again #09) Herman's Hermits: "I Can Take Or Leave Your Loving" (1968) [22] {-} <131> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtMKA7Q7BoI Oh, I could never, never justify All the tears I made you cry But I do regret it #10) The Hollies: "Sorry Suzanne" (1969) [56] {-} <124><206> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30EH0mUIOw4 Interesting trivia from the RRiB team: The Hollies are now one of the oldest Top 40 groups in which no one in the classic lineup has passed away. Though the talk is now all over town Darlin', you know I'd never put you down True, her and me were at the party as guests There's nothing else to say about whom I love best #11) The Impressions: "You Must Believe Me" (1964) [11] {n/c} <90><274> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_JwOnmppKo Lady's eyes go off and on with a finger full of glue Lips are drawn upon her face in come-to-me tattoo Creamy suntan color that fades when she bathes Paper dresses catch on fire and you lose her in the haze #12) Jefferson Airplane: "Greasy Heart" (1968) [98] {-} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymSqJEwmb_k On 1/28/16, two of the original members of Jefferson Airplane passed away, both at age 74. The better-known was Paul Kantner, who led the group through most of its Airplane/Starship incarnations. The other was vocalist Signe Toly Anderson, who left after "Jefferson Airplane Takes Off" (their first album). Signe's replacement was the lead singer of The Great Society, Grace Slick. Grace wrote & sang lead on this song. Time to blow the smoke away, look at the sky again Time to let our friends know we'd like to begin again Time to send a message across the land and sea #13) The Kingston Trio: "Ally Ally Oxen Free" (1963) [61] {-} <157> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65sXJwKEQcQ I gotta be there in the morning Spruced up and looking in my prime Girls, come and kiss me Show how you'll miss me #14) Julius LaRosa: "Get Me To The Church On Time" (1956) [89] {-} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPNQuOSRa0o He died 5/12/16 at 86, having survived and thrived after his infamous ouster by Arthur Godfrey in 1953. The song is from "My Fair Lady." I don't know how to say that I love you 'Cause you would smile and say "tell a joke or two" #15) Gary Lewis and The Playboys: "Everybody Loves A Clown" (1965) [4] {-} <15><151><249> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paG22By80Xg Written by producer Snuff Garrett, arranger Leon Russell, and Gary Lewis.
