Since this is my last quiz for a while (if not forever), these are the final standings. Dan Murphy and Barry Silk were the class of the field with success rates of 86.95% and 85.6% respectively. The overall points may have been closer if Barry had entered the first quiz. Thanks, however, to everyone who participated.

Solutions are in the form: #number) "Title" -- Artist (year) [peak position on Billboard Chart] After the answer to each question is a list of 14 scores (for the 14 entrants) enclosed in brackets. The first score is that of the person who came in first overall this week (i.e. Barry Silk), the second score is that of the person who came in second (Dan Murphy), etc. There are a total of 20 points possible per question (10 for title, 10 for artist). ___________________________________________________________________ But don't you know That it hurts me so To say goodbye to you Wish you didn't have to go Oh, no, no, no #01) "A Summer Song" -- Chad and Jeremy (1964) [7] [20,20,16,20,20,20,20,20,20, -,20, -,20, -] (average 15) Come on Baby give me a whirl I want to know if you'll be my girl #02) "Hey! Baby" -- Bruce Channel (1962) [1] [20,20,20,20,20,20,10,10,10, -, -, -, -, -] (average 11) You don't love me, it's plain I should know I'll never wear your ring #03) "Sweet Dreams (Of You)" -- Patsy Cline (1963) [44] [ -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -] (average 0) This was the only stumper this time (and only the 2nd in 4 quizzes. I didn't realize that it would be that difficult, but I guess it's not too surprising since this was the least popular song in this quiz (according to the Billboard Pop Charts. This song may have done better on the country charts. Tommy McLain's version made it to #15 in 1966, though, although I suspect that the words were slightly different (I probably haven't heard that version in 20-25 years). For those of you who know this song but still can't place the lyrics, the lyrics that follow in the song are: "I should hate you the whole night through Instead of having sweet dreams about you." This was also the title song for a movie about Patsy Cline that came out about a year or two ago. I can't understand No, I can't understand How life goes on the way it does #04) "The End of The World" -- Skeeter Davis (1963) [2] [20,20,20, -,20, -,10,10,20,10, -, -, -, -] (average 9) One person said that this was by Herman's Hermits. I heard that version recently for the first time, and it is surprisingly good. Unfortunately, it either wasn't released as a single or didn't hit the top 100; besides, it doesn't fit alphabetically. My daddy he once told me Hey don't you love you any man #05) "We'll Sing In The Sunshine" -- Gayle Garnett (1964) [4] [20,20,20,20,20, -, -,18,16, -, 8, -, -, -] (average 10) We were never meant to worry The way that people do And I'm not in a hurry As long as I'm with you #06) "Let's Live For Today" -- Grass Roots (1967) [8] [20,20,20,20,20, -, -, 8, 8, -, -, -, -, -] (average 8) Ooh-ee This feeling's killing me Aw, shucks I won't stop for a million bucks I love you so #07) "Don't Let Go" -- Roy Hamilton (1958) [13] [20,20, -,20, -,20, -, 3, -, -, -, -, -, -] (average 6) I was surprised that so many people got this one -- I thought it was the most obscure song on this quiz. Maybe the fact that I chose very distinctive lyrics made it easier. Everything I want I have Whenever I hold you tight #08) "This Magic Moment" -- Jay and the Americans (1968-9) [6] [20,20,20,20, -,20,10,20,20, -,20, -, -, -] (average 12) Barry Silk added that this song was done originally by the Drifters (their version, in 1960, only made it to #16). Chris Huey said that this song was by Jay and the Americans (etal). I don't know who the "etal" were, but I gave full credit with or without them. If you ever leave me I'll be sad and blue Don't you ever leave me I'm so in love with you #09) "Bad To Me" -- Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas (1964) [9] [19,19,19,19,19,19, -, -,10, -, 8, -, -, -] (average 9) I got picky on scoring this one. No one had "with the Dakotas". I gave 9 points for "and the Dakotas." Sorry if that's too picky, but that's why I had a 10 point scale. It's hurting me more each minute That you delay #10) "Go Away Little Girl" -- Steve Lawrence (1963) [1] [20,20,20,20,20,20,10, -,10,10, -, -, -, -] (average 11) The Happenings' 1966 version made it to #12; Donny Osmond's 1971 version made it to #1. Maybe it's the clothes she wears Or the way she combs her hair #11) "She's Just My Style" -- Gary Lewis and the Playboys" (1965-6) [3] [20,20,18,20,20,20, 9,18,18,10, -, -, -, -] (average 12) And the darkest hour Is just before the dawn #12) "Dedicated To The One I Love" -- Mamas & The Papas (1967) [2] [20,20,20,20,20,20,20,18, -,20, -, -, -, -] (average 13) Barry Silk added that the Shirelles did this song originally. Their 1959 released only made it to #83, but then they rereleased it in 1961, and that version made it to #3. A team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart #13) "Stuck On You" -- Elvis Presley (1960) [1] [10,20,10,20,10,20,20, -,10, -, -, -, -, -] (average 9) Three people misidentified this as "All Shook Up", while someone else misidentified it as another Elvis song, "I Need Your Love Tonight." When he's near me I'll kiss him And when he leaves me Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'll miss him #14) "Walking In The Rain" -- Ronettes (1964) [23] [20,20,20,20,20,20,10,10, -, -, -, -, -, -] (average 10) Jay and the Americans hit #19 with this song in 1970, although these lyrics were slightly changed. Our dreams have magic Because we'll always stay In love this way #15) "Our Day Will Come" -- Ruby & the Romantics (1963) [1] [20,20,20,20,20,20,10,10,10, -, -, -, -, -] (average 11) It's a long, long journey So stay by my side When you walk through the storm I'll be your guide, be your guide #16) "I'll Never Find Another You" -- Seekers (1965) [4] [20, -,17,20,18, -,17, 8, 7, -, -,18, -, -] (average 9) Two people misidentified the artists as The New Christy Minstrels, while one person misidentified them as The New Seekers. He stood there and asked me "Why?" But all I could do was cry #17) "Leader Of The Pack" -- Shangri-Las (1964) [1] [20,20,20,20,20,20,10,10,10,20,10, -,20,10] (average 15) How I've waited for this moment To be by your side Your best friend wrote and told me You had teardrops in your eyes #18) "Daddy's Home" -- Shep and the Limelites (1961) [2] [20,20,20,20,10,20, -, -, -,20, -,10, -, -] (average 10) Someone will look at me Like I'm looking at you One Day And then I might find I don't want you any old way #19) "Mama Said" -- Shirelles (1961) [4] [20,20,20,20, -, -, -, -, -,10, -, -, -, -] (average 6) Loving eyes can never see #20) "When A Man Loves A Woman" -- Percy Sledge (1966) [1] [20,20,20,20, -,20,20,20, -, -, -,20, -, -] (average 11) Now I belong to you From this day now until forever #21) "A Lover's Concerto" -- Toys (1965) [2] [20, -,20, -,20, -, -,10, -, -, -, -, -, -] (average 5) Talking is cheap People follow like sheep #22) "Silence Is Golden" -- Tremeloes (1967) [11] [20,20,20, -,20, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -] (average 6) It was so heavenly You meant the world to me #23) "Wonderful Summer" -- Robin Ward (1963-4) [14] [20, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, -] (average 1) Only Barry Silk got this one. But what can I do I'm still in love with you #24) "Since I Fell For You" -- Lenny Welch (1963-4) [4] [20,20,20,20, -, -,19, -, -, -, -, -, -, -] (average 7) Won't you place your sweet lips To mine Won't you say you love me All the time #25) "Stay" -- Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs (1960) [1] [20,20,17,20,20, -, -, -,10,20, -, -, -, -] (average 9) ___________________________________________________________________ #17, #18, #20, and #25 were songs that were in other people's quizzes previously but with different lyrics. I had selected these songs and lyrics before their quizzes came out, but they posted theirs first. Since the lyrics were different, I decided to keep mine for a later quiz (this one). ___________________________________________________________________ Here is the combined results matrix in case anyone is interested. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25| tot --------------------------------------------------------------------------+---- 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 19 20 20 20 10 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20| 469 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 19 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20| 419 16 20 20 20 20 20 19 20 18 20 10 20 20 17 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 17| 417 20 20 20 20 20 20 19 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20| 399 20 20 20 20 20 19 20 20 20 10 20 20 18 20 10 20 20 20| 337 20 20 20 20 19 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 0| 279 20 10 10 10 10 9 20 20 10 10 17 10 20 19 0| 195 20 10 10 18 8 3 20 18 18 10 10 8 10 20 10 0| 193 20 10 20 16 8 20 10 10 18 10 10 7 10 10| 179 10 10 10 20 20 20 10 20| 120 20 8 20 8 10 0| 66 18 10 20 0| 48 20 20 0| 40 10 0| 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------+---- 15 11 0 9 10 8 6 12 9 11 12 13 9 10 11 9 15 10 6 11 5 6 1 7 9| 227 ___________________________________________________________________ -- Rick Schubert (rns@tortuga.SanDiego.NCR.COM)
