She was gonna be my wife and I was gonna be her man But she let another guy come between us and it shattered our plan #02) Beach Boys: "Help Me, Rhonda" (1965) [1] {-} The EJ's: Written and produced by Brian Wilson. From the album "The Beach Boys Today!" although the versions on the album and the single are different; the single was cut AFTER the album. The single was the group's first hit featuring guitarist Al Jardine as the lead vocal. Also recorded by Johnny Rivers in 1975 (with Brian Wilson providing backing vocals). Father McKenzie Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear No one comes near #03) Beatles: "Eleanor Rigby" (1966) [11] {-} Howard Teitelbaum: Backing instrumental tracks (a double string quartet) were recorded in 14 takes on 28 April 1966, conducted by George Martin, who'd written the score. (The "Anthology 2" compilation includes this pre-vocal version.) Paul overdubbed lead vocals the following day (with John & George contributing a few renditions of "ah, look at all the lonely people" as backing vocals). After a minor additional overdub by Paul on 6 June, mixed to mono & stereo on 22 June. On 5 August, it was released simultaneously as a single (backed with Yellow Submarine) and as part of the Revolver LP. Charting covers by Ray Charles (1968) and Aretha Franklin (1969/70). A parody version by comedian Doodles Weaver may be found on various compilations (by Dr. Demento, etc.).] The EJ's: The B-side of "Yellow Submarine"; both songs were from the album "Revolver." You came near me And rolled those eyes You knew they'd get me By and by #04) Eddie Cooley & the Dimples: "Priscilla" (1956) [20] {-} Rick Schubert: He co-wrote "Fever".

Well, what are we gonna tell your mama? What are we gonna tell your pa? What are we gonna tell our friends when they say oo-la-la? #07) Everly Brothers: "Wake Up Little Susie" (1957) [1] {1} The EJ's: Written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant; produced by Archie Bleyer. The song's content resulted in it being banned from some radio stations in Boston and elsewhere. Nevertheless it still became a million- seller, the Brothers' first #1 song on the pop chart, and #1 as well on both the Country and R&B charts. Also charted for Simon & Garfunkel in 1982 (a recording from their New York Central Park concert in 1981). You saw me with some of your buddies And that was careless of me But everything went wrong When you came along And saw what you weren't supposed to see #08) Shelley Fabares: "Ronnie, Call Me When You Get A Chance" (1963) [72] {-} Shelley was born Michele Fabares in Santa Monica, CA back in 1944. She is probably best known for her role as Mary Stone on "The Donna Reed Show." Written by Ted Cooper and Mike Anthony. You said now you don't need me Because I cheated Why didn't you believe me When I repeated #09) 4 Seasons, Featuring the sound of Frankie Valli: "Ronnie" (1964) [6] {-} Written by Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe. It's so hard For me to say The things I really feel If I could I'd chase away The pain your eyes reveal The pain your eyes reveal #10) Grass Roots: "Bella Linda" (1968/69) [28] {-} Co-written by Steve Barri. I was looking 'round for someone new What a foolish thing to do All the time I knew it Heaven knows what made me do it, girl #11) Hollies: "Sorry Suzanne" (1969) [56] {-} Written by Instone Anthony Gordon ("Build Me Up Buttercup") and Stevens Geoffrey, who also teamed to write "Smile A Little Smile For Me". Now there's just enough to prime it with So don't you go drink it first You just pour it in and pump like mad Buddy you'll quench your thirst #12) Kingston Trio: "Desert Pete" (1963) [33] {-} All my life I've done crazy things Gonna find a bird that sings to me La la you La la la #13) Gary Lewis & the Playboys: "Jill" (1967) [52] {-} Written by Alan Gordon and Garry Bonner who also wrote several songs for the Turtles and Lovin' Spoonful. Gonna tell Aunt Mary about Uncle John #14) Little Richard & His Band: "Long Tall Sally" (1956) [6] {1} The EJ's: Written by Enotris Johnson, Richard Penniman, and Bumps Blackwell; produced by Bumps Blackwell. Little Richard's biggest hit, #1 on the R&B chart. Like "Tutti-Frutti" just a few months earlier, "Long Tall Sally" was covered by Pat Boone; but unlike "Tutti-Frutti," Richard's version of "Long Tall Sally" outsold Boone's. Now there's Donny, there's Joe And there's Frank and Jim Just to name a few #15) Marvelettes: "Don't Mess With Bill" (1966) [7] {3} She's the sweetest girl that I ever seen She came from down in New Orleans And I-I-I love her All she's done for me #16) Mello-Tones: "Rosie Lee" (1957) [24] {-} I'm through with Billy, Willie, Ricky, Dickie, Eddie, Freddie Got me a brand new steady #17) Hayley Mills: "Johnny Jingo" (1962) [21] {-} True love means waiting and hoping that soon Wishes we've made will come true My love, my love #18) Paul & Paula: "Hey Paula" (1962/63) [1] {1} The EJ's: Written by Ray Hildebrand; produced by Major Bill Smith. Originally recorded by Ray Hildebrand and Jill Jackson under their own names on Smith's Le Cam label. When it sold well in the Atlanta area, the Philips label picked it up for re-release, but felt that it would sell better if the artists were renamed Paul & Paula, the song's protagonists. Good thinking: it became #1 on both the Pop and R&B charts, Paul & Paula's first and hit and only million-seller. I won't get in your way (get in your way) Oh please don't say that we are through You came on so strong (came on so strong) Was I so wrong When I gave all the love that I had to you #19) Rag Dolls: "Dusty" (1965) [55] {-} Produced and co-written by Bob Crewe.

Once I had a pretty girl Her name it doesn't matter She went away with another guy Now he won't even look at her #23) Del Shannon: "Hats Off To Larry" (1961) [5] {-} The EJ's: Music and Lyrics by Del Shannon. Like Shannon's first and previous hit, "Runaway," "Larry" featured a distinctive solo by Max Crook's musitron, a keyboard instrument that was a precursor of the synthesizer. I really think you're groovy Let's go out to a movie #24) Turtles: "Elenore" (1968) [6] {-} Written by The Turtles. It was probably the first pop record to have an early use the Moog synthesizer. Dear Eddie I love you With all my heart Vacation Last summer Was so grand #25) Dale Ward: "Letter From Sherry" (1963/64) [25] {-} Rick Schubert: Female vocals ("Sherry") by Robin Ward ("Wonderful Summer"; vocals on "Speedy Gonzales")] ------------ Tie-breakers ------------ She does her hair with great precision It's her favorite indoor sport And by the light of the television She can even write a book report #T1) Surfaris: "Karen" (1964) [-] {-} Written by Bob Mosher and Jack Marshall.

Twinkle was born Lynn Annette Ripley back in 1948. "Terry", a doomed biker saga, reached #5 in Britain. This chart ranks the songs/artists from most recognized to least recognized. The 3rd number on the line denotes the average number of points scored on that song (total points divided by number of entrants, to 1 decimal place). For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale.

I was disappointed that the theme didn't help more than it did overall. ______________________________________________________________________________ Barry Silk -- -To unsubscribe from the Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz mail list, send e-mail -to golq-request@world.std.com with the word "unsubscribe" in the body, -not the subject, of the message.
