| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Sep 15 12:28AM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-04-04, 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 10-12 days. All questions were written by members of 5 Easy Pieces 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 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". ** Final, Round 8 - Arts & Literature * African-American Writers After World War II, a number of African-American novelists, poets, and playwrights of incredible ingenuity emerged. Name the writer from the description. 1. He wrote the novel "Native Son" in 1940 and the memoir "Black Boy" in 1945. 2. She brought "A Raisin in the Sun" to Broadway in 1959. 3. His novel "Invisible Man" won the US National Book Award in 1953. * Booker Prize Winners From each list of three novels by a Booker Prize winner, name the author. 4. "Flaubert's Parrot"; "England, England"; "Arthur and George". 5. "The Comfort of Strangers"; "Atonement"; "Nutshell". 6. "The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith"; "Illywhacker"; "The Tax Inspector". * Abstract Expressionism Although it has roots in earlier 20th-century art, abstract expressionism came to the fore in New York after World War II. In each case, name the painter. 7. See <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR8/art1.jpg>, which is "Woman I". This Dutch-American artist was noted for his series of Woman paintings such as this one. 8. See <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR8/art2.jpg>, which is "White and Greens in Blue". This Russian-American painter was known for his reds, but as you see here, he did some pretty mean greens and blues, too. 9. See <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR8/art3.jpg>, which is "The Seasons". One of the few female abstract expressionists, she was married to Jackson Pollock. * Science-Fiction Book Covers We give you the year and the cover art; you name the novel. 10. From 1961: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR8/book1.jpg 11. From 1932: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR8/book2.jpg 12. From 1960: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR8/book3.jpg * Clothing Designers In each case, name either the designer or, if its name is different, their company or brand. 13. Known for her clean and simple designs, this 66-year-old New York designer heads a company with over $300 million in annual revenue. Her first Toronto store opened last year at Sherway Gardens. 14. This clothing company is named after its 75-year-old founder. Its slogan is "Swedish design with a green soul." Its colorful clothes have been described as "having forgiving cuts, if not outright billowy". 15. This British-born designer moved to Montreal in 1970 at the age of 23. She has been dubbed "The Queen of Outerwear", and her first signature piece was called the "Sunburst Coat". Her clothes are fixtures in major North American department stores. -- Mark Brader | "'"'Tisn't very easy to tell if a '"' or ''' mark Toronto | is an opening or closing quote or ditto or prime," msb@vex.net | said Mark,' said 6'2" d'Artagnan," said Mark Brader.

Thanks, but I am not understanding how the hardest-question tie-breaking works. Marc and I both answered a, b, and d correctly and his other two correct answers were solos. Only one of mine was, so if I were scoring this I would certainly place Marc above me. (Dan Tilque would arguably also place above me, but below Marc.) -- _______________________________________________________________________ Dan Blum tool@panix.com "I wouldn't have believed it myself if I hadn't just made it up." |
| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Sep 14 05:50PM -0700 RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #367(GOLQ367) Congratulations to the EJ's, Really Rockin' In Boston and Village Idiots for scoring a perfect 500++ on this quiz. Will McCorry finished strongly, missing only one tie-breaker. A special "Hello" to Jamie & Carol Lubin and Ron Crandall. Both teams are GOLQ legacies and was great to see them in the participant field again Actually, everyone did well on what I thought would be a more difficult than usual quiz. Essentially, there were no lyrics on a lyrics quiz. While I thought I would be soundly pilloried for that, all entrants had the forbearance not to point it out. I regard that as carte blanche to do it again in the future (insert evil laugh here). With my perceived level of difficulty in mind I mentioned the answer distribution clue. Every answer in the regular portion of the quiz represented a letter of the alphabet in order. The exception was "X", for which there is no GOLQ eligible song in the "regular" portion of the quiz. I am aware of a couple of tie-breaker possibilities, but they would be waaaay too obscure to use (insert another evil laugh here). The 4 song mini-theme was "Batman", chosen to note the passing of Adam West in June of this year. Nearly everyone mentioned this and the alphabetic sequencing. To hear all 27 songs in their entirety go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0x-SSGH5jg&list=PLOM9kp_8LqisnE00JP5EQi7e5Bw2wjrbs The usual Youtube caveats apply; versions, availability etc. Songs may not be in exact order. I hope everyone had fun with this one.

He went right to the source and asked Paul Evans! This was Paul's response: "Hi, and thanks for writing. I believe that the two Susan's did cut one more record before going their separate ways, possibly on Evergreen Records (now defunct). They were part of the Ray Charles Singers, a chorale that did much TV work like the Perry Como and the Jackie Gleason shows. Sue and Sue were hired by the writers, as was I, to make a demo of 'Seven Little Girls'. The demo was released 'as is' on Guaranteed Records under the name 'Paul Evans and the Curls', but Joe Carlton, the owner and president of Guaranteed, decided that it was easier to build a solo career for me rather than tying me to the two girls. I know that Joe copyrighted the name, the "Curls" so I'm not sure how Sue and Sue managed to record again - for a different label - under that name. Anyway, I hope this info helps you out. Paul Evans" Howard recently updated this information "I do have a couple of updates regarding The Curls. First, they actually recorded two singles (not one) on Everest (not Evergreen): "Why Didn't I Go"/"Imaginez Vous" and "Like a Waterfall"/"He's My Hero". All are available on YouTube. Here's a write-up I found about the duo; it contains the only publicity photo of theirs I've ever run across. Sue Singleton is in the front, Susan Terry in the rear: http://whitedoowopcollector.blogspot.com/2009/10/curlsimaginez-vous.html Sadly, as the Grim Reaper of GOLQ, I must report that I found an obit for Sue Singleton, from 2008: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dailynews-sun/obituary.aspx?n=sue-singleton-love&pid=101713252& I haven't been able to find anything about Susan Terry's whereabouts."

The show ran from 1966 to 1968 and I admit was a guilty pleasure of mine. http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-09.mp3 #09) Impressions, The: "I'm So Proud" (1964) [14] {n/c} <56><246><318> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-10.mp3 #10) Jan & Dean: "Popsicle" (1966) [21] {-} <32> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-11.mp3 #11) Knockouts, The: "Darling Lorraine" (1959/60) [46] {-} <21><293> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-12.mp3 #12) Little Joey & The Flips: "Bongo Stomp" (1962) [33] {-} <56> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-13.mp3 #13) Mamas & The Papas, The: "Creeque Alley" (1967) [5] {-} <89><165><248><309> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-14.mp3 #14) Nervous Norvus: "Ape Call" (1956) [24] {-} <145><198> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-15.mp3 #15) Orbison, Roy: "Blue Angel" (1960) [9] {23} <19><184><317> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-16.mp3 #16) Procol Harum: "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" (1967) [5] {22} <31><108><307> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-17.mp3 #17) Quaker City Boys, The: "Teasin'" (1958) [39] {-} <131> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-18.mp3 #18) Rydell, Bobby: "The Cha-Cha-Cha" (1962) [10] {-} <30><319> As Joel Whitburn points out, the melody and arrangement are essentially the same as "Rinky Dink" for which author credit goes to "D.Clowney". The author credit for this song is to Kal Mann and Dave Appell. Frankly I think Mr. Clowney would have had a legal case here; I have seen infringement cases won for less similar sounding songs. http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-19.mp3 #19) Smith, Whistling Jack: "I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman" (1967) [20] {-} In proof that we live in bizarre times, I ran across a version of this credited to Pat Boone!! (From the LP of the same name!!!) No lyrics, just the whistling. Here is the Youtube URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR_xW57Ln_E http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-20.mp3 #20) Tiny Tim: "Great Balls Of Fire" (1969) [85] {-} Sorry Jerry Lee; the devil made me do it. http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-21.mp3 #21) Unifics, The: "Court Of Love" (1968) [25] {3} <75><190> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-22.mp3 #22) Vito & The Salutations: "Unchained Melody" (1963) [66] {-} <86> A special tip of the Oldtunes' hat to the long time players of the same name. http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-23.mp3 #23) Wallace, Jerry: "How The Time Flies" (1958) [11] {11} <70><268> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-24.mp3 #24) Yardbirds, The: "Heart Full Of Soul" (1965) [9] {-} <12><105><280> http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-25.mp3 #25) Zombies, The: "She's Not There" (1964/65) [2] {n/c} <19><108><200><283> ------------ Tie-Breakers ------------ http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-T1.mp3 #T1) Diamonds: "Batman, Wolfman, Frankenstein Or Dracula" (1959) [-] {-} Probably intended as a Halloween novelty record; it was released in October of 1959. http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-T2.mp3 #T2) Adam West: "Miranda" (1966) [-] {-} While obviously relating to "Batman" this appears to go out of its way to avoid any copyright issue. The term "Batman" or any other related character is not used. The "Boy Genius" voice is probably not that of Burt Ward (no label credit). My guess is that the producers wanted to avoid any royalty discussion with DC comics. The flip side of this is a (surprisingly) not-too-bad ballad "You Only See Her". It can be heard here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1xhGqLymC8 ________________________________________________________________________________ The following table ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized.
