| GOLQ Mailing List <list@golq.org>: Sep 02 11:42AM -0700 RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #366 (GOLQ366) Congratulations to The Village Idiots, the only team to correctly identify all 25 songs in the main part of the quiz, as well as the two tie-breakers. For what seems like the first time in a long time, the tie-breakers actually served their purpose by separating out a winner. Identifying the two tie-breakers allowed the Village Idiots to edge out Will McCorry, who also identified all twenty five songs in the main part of the quiz, but skipped the tie-breakers. Impressive entries by both teams, nonetheless. Also with impressive scores were the Delphi Trivia Club and DEC And Friends, each of whom identified all 27 songs but mis-identified one of the artists in the main part of the quiz. Overall, I was surprised that the quiz proved more difficult than I anticipated, especially after my previous Beatles theme quiz (GOLQ-362), in which every team got a perfect score. Perhaps not having a theme contributed to the difficulty, and kept some regulars from participating this month. Still, in spite of the difficulty, nine songs - a third of the quiz - were identified by every team. Maybe that is not a bad mix, regarding level of difficulty. As always, thanks to everyone who entered. I missed seeing the entries of some of our favorite participants, and hope all will play again in August. Mike Weaver has already posted the August quiz (GOLQ #367). -- Tom _____________________________________________________________________________ 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's why the drums are drumming That's why the pipes are humming #01) Ames Brothers, The: "My Bonnie Lassie" (1955) [11] {-} <133><208> Well I saved my pennies And I saved my dimes #02) Beach Boys, The: "409" (1962) [76] {-} <208> Dear Sir or Madam Will you read my book #03) Beatles, The: "Paperback Writer" (1966) [1] {-} <98><216> You ask me if I'll miss her kisses I guess I will, every day #04) Cash, Johnny, and The Tennessee Two: "Guess Things Happen That Way" (1958) [11] {-} <114> Wondrously Love can see So I knew #05) Chordettes, The: "Born To Be With You" (1956) [5] {-} <152><253> You've changed a lot somehow From the one I used to know For when you hold me now It feels like you never want to let me go #06) Clark, Petula: "A Sign Of The Times" (1966) [11] {-} <9><154> Your kisses take me To #07) Four Coins, The/Dana, Vic: "Shangri-La" (1957) [11] {-} <61> Note: Full credit was also given for Vic Dana as the artist. I did not realize, at the time I wrote the quiz, that Vic Dana recorded and charted the song. Otherwise I would have inserted a song between #05 and #07 to eliminate Dana alphabetically. However, as the quiz is written, he fits alphabetically and therefore yields full credit to any team citing him as the artist. Don't make me live from day to day Watching the clock that ticks away Another day, another way Another reason for me to stay #08) Four Tops, The: "7 Rooms Of Gloom" (1967) [14] {10} <90><320> I think it's so groovy now That people are finally getting together #09) Friend & Lover: "Reach Out Of The Darkness" (1968) [10] {-} <11><243> Everything here is so clear, you can see it, and Everything here is so near, you can feel it #10) Friends Of Distinction, The: "Grazing In The Grass" (1969) [3] {5} <62><161> I saw you were standing by your locker As I went strolling by Well, I'm not much at flirtin' and I'm not a talker but I just had to wink my eye #11) Fuller, Jerry: "Shy Away" (1961) [71] {-} Your love for me why not reveal It's over now but it was grand #12) G-Clefs, The: "I Understand (Just How You Feel)" (1961/62) [9] {-} <71><156> Since that day our love began I've become a new and happy man I can hold my head up high When you are near I touch the sky #13) Grass Roots, The: "Lovin' Things" (1969) [49] {-} <72> One day soon you'll have a date And you'll take her home that night Then you'll find you'll wonder Would a kiss be right? #14) Hodges, Eddie: "(Girls, Girls, Girls) Made To Love" (1962) [14] {-} <60> Note: Written by Phil Everly and featured on the Everly Brothers album, "A Date With The Everly Brothers."? Their version was a favorite of mine before Hodges recorded the song. I've thrown away my nights And wasted all my days Over you #15) Holly, Buddy: "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" (1959) [13] {-} <45><188><264> Note: Written by Paul Anka Goodbye romance It could't last somehow I had my chance But it's all over now #16) James, Joni: "There Goes My Heart" (1958) [19] {-} <190> Any woman he wants, he'll get He will break any heart without regret #17) Jones, Tom: "Thunderball" (1965/66) [25] {-} <51> Don't sigh a sigh for me Don't ever cry for me This is goodbye from me #18) Lee, Brenda: "Losing You" (1963) [6] {13} <88><229> Note: Still love Brenda's original, but Alison Krauss has, in my opinion, a fantastic version on her most recent album. Just noticed, while reviewing the YouTubes below, that the third line should be, "This is goodbye FROM me,"? not, "This is goodbye FOR me,"? as originally posted. Correction made above. Seems to be an insignificant difference, but if any team claims they missed the song because of that, let me know and I will adjust the score. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLpuId3BNcU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rRUk9rIqMA Seeing you alone with the moonlight above Then I touched your hand and next moment I kissed you #19) Morgan, Jane, and The Troubadors: "Fascination" (1957) [7] {-} <129><251> I hear that love is planned How can I understand When someone says to me #20) Peter and Gordon: "I Don't Want To See You Again" (1964) [16] {n/c} <54><225> He can walk the streets and boast like most But he don't know a thing It's all been done before It's all been written in the book #21) Peter, Paul & Mary: "Too Much Of Nothing" (1967/68) [35] {-} <136><244> Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall Ain't gonna do you no good at all #22) Presley, Elvis, with The Jordanaires: "Stuck On You" (1960) [1] {6} <4><272> Now, don't you ever Be sad Lean on me When the times are bad #23) Sam & Dave: "Hold On! I'm A Comin'" (1966) [21] {1} <57><189> And already I miss you, my dear If I had known I'd be so alone Do you think that I would have let you go? #24) Scott, Jack: "It Only Happened Yesterday" (1960) [13] {-} Train whistle blowing Makes a sleepy noise Underneath their blankets Go all the girls and boys #25) Seekers, The: "Morningtown Ride" (1967) [44] {-} <112> ------------ Tie-Breakers ------------- I stole away and cried I stole away and cried The tears, they fell like raindrops The night my old friend died #T1) Dian and the Greenbriar Boys/Country Gentlemen: "He Was A Friend"/"He Was A Friend Of Mine" (1963) Note: From the self titled album, considered a rare but valued classic by 1960's folk music purists. Greenbriar Boys included founder John Herald, considered one of the finest flatpickers of the era, and who provided many impressive guitar solo breaks on albums by Ian & Silvia and others. Full credit was also given for the Country Gentlemen as the artist because, although they were not my intended artist (I was not even aware they recorded the song), their version is similar and their lyrics match mine perfectly. There are many other cover versions, some of which were named by several teams, with lyrics that were close but different enough not to qualify. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn7dFz-AuYE They found a shattered empty rifle And the shawl she used to wear But they never found his Julie And they never found They never found The hungry bear #T2) New Christy Minstrels, The: "Julianne" (1963?) Note: From the album "New Christy Minstrels Tell Tall Tales! Legends & Nonsense."? I have long been a sucker for this somewhat corny but intriguing ballad about a handsome but poor young man who promises his sweetheart, Julianne, that he will search for silver to "fashion her a ring,"? but instead has a tryst with another woman, leaving Julianne alone in their cabin in the woods. You can tell by the lyrics I posted that the story does not end well. The lyrics were written by founder and leader Randy Sparks of the New Christy Minstrels on one of their most successful albums. The melody is an uptempo and haunting rendition of the old folk song, "I Am A Poor Wayfaring Stranger."? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i55XkSbN9w _____________________________________________________________________________ The following table ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized.
