RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #359 (GOLQ359)
 
Congratulations are due to DEC & Friends, Dale Latimer, Delphi Trivia Club,
EJ's & Co., and the Village Idiots for their perfect entries on what
I think was a very difficult quiz.
 
As I was creating this quiz I reached my Biblical allotment of three score
and ten years, and thus gave me inspiration for the theme. Everyone
got the birthday/born/baby concept although a couple were not sure how
T2 was related (see discussion).
 
Thank you to all who entered. May everyone have happy birthdays and
"unbirthdays" during the upcoming year.
 
--Mike Weaver

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #359 ANSWERS:
Answers are in the form:
 
#number) Artist: "Title" (chart year) [peak Pop] {peak R&B} <xxx>...<yyy>
where:
"peak Pop" = Peak position achieved on the weekly Billboard Pop chart.
"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.

Every time I hear

Touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why
#03) Bachelors: "I Believe" (1964) [33] {-} <->

To mend each dream that's torn
To string along
When things go wrong
#12) Harper, Janice: "That's Why I Was Born" (1957) [84] {-} <->

#13) Little Richard: "Baby Face" (1958) [41] {12} <145><217>

Another morning, another day
#14) McPhatter, Clyde: "Deep In The Heart Of Harlem" (1964) [90] {n/c} <92><305>

#15) New Christy Minstrels, The: "Green, Green" (1963) [14] {-} <84><253>

A party, party
Yes, we're going to
A party, party
Yes, we're going to
A party, party
#22) Underground Sunshine: "Birthday" (1969) [26] {-} <->
 
Originally a Beatles song from the "White" album (1968).
The quoted lyrics are probably the only ones that could
be used in a GOLQ.
 
I can feel a newly-born vibration
Sneakin' up on me again
There's a song bird on my pillow
I can see the funny weeping willow
I can see the sun
You're on your way and you'll be coming
#23) Vanity Fare: "Early In The Morning" (1969/70) [12] {-} <59><182><257>

All my world was bright and gay
Thought for sure you'd write or call
But you didn't after all
#24) Young, Kathy, with The Innocents: "Happy Birthday Blues" (1961) [30] {-}
<59><217>
 
The waitress, a vampire named Perkins
Was so very fond of small gherkins
While she served the tea, she ate 43
Which pickled her internal workins
#25) Zacherle, John, "The Cool Ghoul": "Dinner With Drac Part 1" (1958) [6] {19}
<27><202><267>
 
Cleveland had "Ghoulardi", while Philly and New York had "Roland/Zacherly".
(Not to mention "Count Floyd" on SCTV). This was the non-themed song on the
quiz and was intended to memorialize Zacherle's passing on 10/27/16.
Ironic that it was so close to Halloween.
 
Long, long since I became sixteen
We've wanted to walk down the aisle
And as we stand here
Hand in hand
I hear them playing 'Here Comes The Bride'
#T1) Orlons: "(Happy Birthday) Mr. Twenty-One" (1962) [-] {-} <->
 
Can you imagine us years from today
Sharing a park bench quietly
How terribly strange
To be seventy
#T2) Simon & Garfunkle: "Old Friends/Bookends" (1968) [-] {-} <->
 
Yes, it is a bit strange to be seventy. The tie-breakers were
sort of an homage to what I consider to be personal birthday
milestones. At 21 I was going to set the world on fire, at 70,
the globe is pretty safe from any conflagration caused by me.
 
At first, I was fully prepared to "spank" those who did not
use the full "Old Friends/Bookends" title. The song is the flip of
"Mrs. Robinson" and that is how Whitburn identifies it. In whole,
it really is a combination of "Old Friends" and "Bookend Theme". It was
pointed out to me though that it ("Old Friends") was a stand-alone
title on the "Bookends" album. Everyone identified the song by
one of the two possible titles.
 
_____________________________________________________________________________
 
The following table ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized.
The first column indicates the average number of points scored on that song
(total points divided by number of entrants). For comparison purposes,
tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale.
