You're the only one that I rely on A shoulder there for me to cry on And the hours alone that I'm without you All I ever do is think about you #06) Clark, Petula: "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love" (1966) [9] {-} <60> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTqTzHkwdzc Written by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent, chronicling their then-secret affair. Shortly thereafter, Hatch divorced and the pair married.

In its original form, the lyrics describe someone still aspiring to get to Broadway. When Leiber & Stoller needed another song to fill out a Drifters recording session, they worked with Mann & Weil to revise the song into its now-familiar form, in which the protagonist is already on Broadway, but struggling. Team Asia noted a version by Dave Clark Five (LP track in 1964).

Song was a #1 hit in the UK, noted Team Asia. I knew the end was in sight (in sight) And now you're walkin' out on me (on me) You're wonderin' where the little tears can be (can be) #23) Springfield, Dusty: "All Cried Out" (1964) [41] {n/c} <279> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-WMX5rN6oo Life's a funny thing When it comes to love You don't always conquer The one you're dreaming of #24) Vaughan, Sarah: "C'est La Vie" (1955/56) [11] {-} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4_WgtTyR8g When we go out stepping on the town for a while My money's low and my suit's out of style #25) Wonder, Stevie: "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" (1965/66) [3] {1} <37><234> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAcwUSVxgWA Songwriter/producer Sylvia Moy died 4/15/17 at 78. By 1965, Stevie's voice had changed from his "Little Stevie" soprano, and Motown was preparing to drop this 15-year-old has-been. Moy approached Berry Gordy and got him to reconsider, on the condition that she could create another hit for him. She and Hank Cosby fleshed out this song from a fragment Stevie played for them. At the recording session, there hadn't been time to prepare a Braille version of the lyrics for Stevie to learn, so she fed him the words via his headphones one line ahead of the music. ------------ Tie-Breakers ------------ We trapped them in a warehouse And much to our surprise There were five big machine guns Staring in our eyes #T1) Coasters, The: "Bad Detective" (1964) [-] {n/c} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOI70OsgdVc Written by Keni St. Lewis, then a high-school student.

The hurt I put you through (baby) Was so unfair to you (baby) If you leave me now for someone new #T2) Jones, Samantha: "I Deserve It" (1965) [-] {-} <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCmk6ZIPaa0 Arranger/conductor Arnie Goland had been long associated with Phil Spector, before their inevitable falling-out. This song definitely has the familiar "Wall of Sound" vibe, and its arrangement owes a good bit to "Be My Baby." ________________________________________________________________________________ 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. Avg.

| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Jun 04 09:03PM -0700 RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #363 (GOLQ363) Hello, Wie Gehts, Bon Jour etc., Congratulations are in order for tied first place performances of 4 State Trivia and Vito & The Salutations. The latter team advised that they had multilingual members, so that may have worked in their favor. Honorable mention must be given to the EJs for being the only team to identify T2. The intended theme was foreign words/foreign locations in lyrics or title. Everyone picked up on that. As an experiment, I have created a Youtube playlist of all 27 songs. Go to: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMZ2lthAs1JlgmEa0T_ODiA and select the playlist "GOLQ 363". This is my first attempt at putting a playlist together and my Youtube skills are lacking; for reasons I can't explain #6 is out of sequence (last). I apologize in advance for any ads, bad versions, etc. Thanks to all who entered.

"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").)

It turned out that it fit the theme as well. There is supposed to be an album release of all new material by Chuck sometime in June. It will be an interesting listen, I think. http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-04.mp3 #04) Charles, Ray, Singers: "Al-Di-La" (1964) [29] {n/c} <-> 'Google Translate' says the title means "beyond" in Italian. http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-05.mp3 #05) Checker.

(1969) [82] {-} <-> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-06.mp3 #06) Coasters, The: "Little Egypt (Ying-Yang)" (1961) [23] {16} <52><158><321> A sharp-eared GOLQer advised that this snippet was not taken from the original version. Several others agreed. This did not seem to be a problem with most entrants. http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-07.mp3 #07) Dowell, Joe: "Wooden Heart" (1961) [1] {-} <79><217> Done by Elvis in the movie G.I.

I confess to thinking that the language was Portuguese. but I have since learned it is in Spanish. http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-09.mp3 #09) Glahe, Will and His Orchestra: "Liechtensteiner Polka" (1957) {-} http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-10.mp3 #10) Irish Rovers, The: "The Biplane, Ever More" (1968) [91] {-} <246> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-11.mp3 #11) Jones, Etta: "Canadian Sunset" (1961) [91] {-} http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-12.mp3 #12) Lawrence, Steve: "Fraulein" (1957) [54] {-} A slightly more popular (#36 pop) was done by Bobby Helms. That version was on the country charts for a year. http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-13.mp3 #13) Locklin, Hank: "Geisha Girl" (1957/58) [66] {-} http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-14.mp3 #14) Lolita: "Cowboy Jimmy Joe (Die Sterne Der Prarie)" (1961) [94] {-} Lolita traded in her 'Sailor' for a cowboy. I believe the German means: Star(s) of the Prairie. My German is only good enough to order a beer. http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-15.mp3 #15) Longet, Claudine: "Love Is Blue (L'Amour Est Bleu)" (1968) [71] {-} <78> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-16.mp3 #16) Martin, Dean: "Volare (Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu)" (1958) [12} {-} http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-17.mp3 #17) Modugno, Domenico: "Piove (Ciao, Ciao Bambina)" (1959) [97] {-} http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-18.mp3 #18) Monte, Lou: "Pepino The Italian Mouse" (1962/63) [5] {-} <37> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-19.mp3 #19) Outsiders, The: "Girl In Love" (1966) [21] {-} <101><239><319> The theme exception song for the quiz. Sonny Geraci, North East Ohio native and lead of the "Outsiders" passed away in February of this year after a long bout with the effects of a brain aneurysm. http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-20.mp3 #20) Robic, Ivo "The Happy Muleteer" (1960) {58] {-} http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-21.mp3 #21) Royal Guardsmen, The: "The Return Of The Red Baron" (1967) [15] {-} http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-22.mp3 #22) Sakamoto, Kyu: "China Nights (Shina No Yoru)" (1963) [58] {-} http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-23.mp3 #23) Shore, Dinah: "Chantez-Chantez" (1957)[19] {-} http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-24.mp3 #24) Singing Nun, The (Soeur Sourire): "Dominique" (1963/64) [1] {-} <117><251> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-25.mp3 #25) Valens, Ritchie: "La Bamba" (1958/59) [22] {-} <83><182><257> ------------ Tie-Breakers ------------ http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-T1.mp3 #T1) Escorts, The: "Gaudeamus" (1962) [-] {-} There are several groups named "Escorts" but this one hailed from Brooklyn, New York. As far as I know, their closest brush with national success was a low numbered entry (#119) on the "Cash Box" chart with the "West Side Story" song "Somewhere". However, my personal favorite is the flip, "Submarine Race Watching". I may have taken a bit of "quizmaster's license" with this one, since Latin is not commonly spoken anywhere with the possible exception of Vatican City; even then probably only in rituals. An aside: I had two years of Latin in high school; it was a requirement. Our teacher was former exotic dancer whom we referred to as "Bubbles." It was really uncalled for, because she was a nice lady and an effective teacher. Blame it on the shallowness of youth. At any rate, Gaudeamus (or Gaudeamus Igitur) is sometimes sung, albeit in a far more solemn fashion, at university graduations in Europe, perhaps even here in the US. A version was performed by Mario Lanza in the 1954 movie "The Student Prince", but it did not contain these lyrics. According to Wikipedia the snippet and its translation is: Vivat academia Vivant professores, Vivat academia Vivant professores, Vivat membrum quodlibet, Vivat membra quaelibet; Semper sint in flore! Long live the university, Long live the teachers, Long live the university, Long live the teachers, Long live each male student, Long live each female student; May they always flourish! To see more at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaudeamus_igitur http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363-T2.mp3 #T2) King Tones, The: "Goodnight Baby" (1969) [1] {-} Believe it or not, this was a big hit - in Japan. It was released here in the US on Atco and pops up from time-to-time on doo-wop compilations. Once again relying on the internet, the translation for the snippet is: I believe someday your Daddy Will understand how much I love you Our love is true, it will never change So, don't you cry oh my baby I'll touch your trembling shoulders And hold you tight won't let you go I won't even try the phonetic Japanese! _____________________________________________________________________________ The following table ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized.

| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jun 04 02:38PM -0500 You have a bit less than 2 days remaining to enter RQ 258, if you have not done so already. See the original contest posting for further details. I'll just repeat this part: There are 22 questions in this quiz, but I hope a lot of them will be easy. They are listed in random order within each of two groups, but I won't tell you how what question number starts the second group. Note that some questions will provide details, but not necessarily the most relevant ones; others will just be hints. In either case, you must name whoever, or whatever, it is that I'm describing or hinting at. A hint to the theme that all answers must fit is available if you can guess where to look for it. 1. This American New Wave writer won multiple Hugos, including one for "Lord of Light". 2. This executive was the other title character of Michael Moore's first documentary. 3. This 91-year-old has hundreds of movies (or TV-movies or direct-to-video movies) credited to him as a producer or director, including "Death Race 2000" in 1975, and 4 sequels or remakes up to this year's "Death Race 2050". While his career has been described as "Six Decades of Schlock", people who have worked with him have included Martin Scorsese, Jack Nicholson, Peter Bogdanovich, Francis Ford Coppola, James Cameron, and Ron Howard. 4. In the original novel he was censored, but in the movie he was framed. 5. "For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly, more dearly than the spoken word can tell." 6. Dallas player, MVP of the VIth event. 7. 61*. 8. He was the first to tile the plane aperiodically with only two different tiles, using a pattern with fivefold symmetry about its center. 9. When he wasn't chosen to succeed Walter Cronkite as anchorman for the main CBS newscast, this man moved to NBC. For about a year their newscast was co-anchored by Tom Brokaw in New York and him in Washington. 10. This 13th-century Englishman was a Renaissance man before there was a Renaissance. He advocated that science should be based on experiment; he worked in philosophy, astronomy, alchemy, and math; he conceived machines that would not be practical for centuries; but his work in optics was particularly important. 11. If you were married to Brigitte Bardot, wouldn't you make at least a couple of movies starring her? 12. Some say GOAT. 13. Until recently he was the only person to have run Fox "News". 14. He was a regular on "The Mothers-in-Law" until he was fired for demanding the studio pay him the amount specified in his contract; but fans of the original "Star Trek" may best remember him as Harry Mudd. 15. Who he? 16. Dead, now dead. 17. The fat one, who worked for the Sun-Times. 18. He held a world record for 46 days in 1954. 19. This British writer, now living in Colorado, specializes in the subject of bicycle racing. Several of his books are about Lance Armstrong; another is "World of Cycling". 20. This "alternative rock" band was formed in 1994 by former members of Uncle Tupelo. Singer Jeff Tweedy has been with them ever since. Albums include "Blue Sky Blue" and "Star Wars". 21. At the end of "The Lord of the Rings", Sam marries Rose Cotton. In the appendices you may learn that her brother known as Jolly, and her uncle known as Will, actually both had the same name. What was it? 22. An Iron Maiden he. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "Jargon leakage is getting to be a real problem; msb@vex.net | sb should do sth about it." --R.H.
