Subject: RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #134 (GOLQ134) Message-ID: Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1999 14:26:43 GMT Reply-To: Rich Ardini Organization: GOLQ, Inc. RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #134 Congratulations to RON ANDERSON, winner of GOLQ 134 by a half a song over the team of BARRY SILK, JOE HAERTEL, JENNY McCAW and SCOOTER MAGRUDER in what turned out to be a very competitive contest. The DELPHI TRIVIA CLUB was close behind in third and six other teams scored at least 400. Ron also had the highest individual score and posted the biggest jump from GOLQ 133 with an increase of 210 points. In trying to make it easier, I only used songs from the Top 40, and the average score turned out to be 320. Well over half of the teams were able to score at least 300. GOLQ 135 will feature the debut of Barry Chamish of Team Asia as a guest quizmaster. Thanks to all for entering, and I will see you in a later quiz. -- Rich Ardini _____________________________________________________________________________ After each score below are two characters representing the two tie-breakers: A "+" indicates a tie-breaker answered correctly; a "-" indicates partial credit; an "x" indicates a totally incorrect guess; a "." indicates no guess.

I thought that I could do without her Thought that I could get along just fine, but I was wrong For, ever since we said goodbye I just can't seem to get her off my mind #01) Barry And The Tamerlanes: "I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight" (1963) [21] {-} Songwriters Barry DeVorzon, Terry Smith and Bodie Chandler made up this group. She told me "Baby, when you race today Just take along my love with you And if you knew how much I love you, baby Nothing could go wrong with you" #02) Beach Boys: "Don't Worry Baby" (1964) [24] {-} Written for the Ronettes but rejected by Phil Spector. EJs: Written by Brian Wilson and Roger Christian; produced by Brian Wilson. The B-side of "I Get Around." Also recorded by The Tokens (1970, their last charted single) and B.J. Thomas (1977, his last Top 20 hit). I'm not half the man I used to be There's a shadow hanging over me #03) Beatles: "Yesterday" (1965) [1] {n/c} HT: A Beatles song in name only, for all intents and purposes, a Paul McCartney solo effort. Recorded on 14 June 1965, with Paul being backed by a string quartet. The strings were scored by producer George Martin (a classically-trained musician himself), with some input from Paul. Released in the UK on 6 August on the "Help!" LP, and in March 1966 on the "Yesterday" EP. In the US, released on a single in September 1965 (backed with "Act Naturally"), and included in the June 1966 LP "Yesterday ... and Today." EJ: A million-seller. From the album "Yesterday...And Today." interestingly, although there have been more than 2500 recorded versions of this classic song, only one other version has charted: Ray Charles' (1967). GC: It's working title was "Scrambled Eggs." BR: Yesterday and Today was banned due to its album cover in the US and never released anywhere else. Most of the songs found themselves split up between other albums in different countries (most notably Rubber Soul and Revolver). And I recall the moment of them all The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small And you don't ask the time of day But you and I, our love will never die #04) Bee Gees: "First Of May" (1969) [37] {-} Right after I graduated from college in Boston, I rented the second floor of a house that turned out to be owned and inhabited by one Adrian Barber, engineer on several Aerosmith and Allman Brothers albums, and the Bee Gees "Odessa," which this song was part of. Adrian was a moody individual who was seldom around, but had a lot of plants in his house. One night, he threw an unforgettable tantrum that went on for over an hour and resulted in every plant finding its way out the door and onto the cul-de-sac the house was on. We tread softly around him after that. I long to wake up in the morning And find everything has changed And all the people that I meet don't wear a frown But every day is just the same I'm chasing rainbows in the rain #05) Petula Clark: "Who Am I" (1966) [21] {-} EJs: Written and produced by Tony Hatch. I don't know why she left me I don't know where she's gone But all I know is I'll never be happy Until my baby comes back home #06) Sam Cooke: "Sad Mood" (1960) [29] {23} The single that followed "Chain Gang." Call the sun in the dead of the night And the sun gonna rise in the sky Touch a man who can't walk upright And that lame man, he gonna fly #07) Neil Diamond: "Holly Holy" (1969) [6] {-} EJs: Composed by Neil Diamond; produced by Tom Catalano. Diamond's second million-seller, following "Sweet Caroline." Later recorded by Jr. Walker & The All-Stars (1970). When sundown pales the sky I want to hide awhile behind your smile And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find #08) Donovan: "Catch The Wind" (1965) [23] {-} According to Marianne Faithfull's autobiography, when Donovan was first introduced to Bob Dylan at a party, Bob invited him to play a song. Donovan proceeded to play what he thought was an old English folk song he had just put new words to. Donovan's new song: "Hey Mr. Tangerine Man." CC: Flip side to the single, "Why Do You Treat Me Like You Do," is a must have for pop-folkies. And women were created to make love their destiny Then why should true love be so complicated, oh yeah #09) Exciters: "Tell Him" (1962) [4] {5} HT: Produced by Leiber & Stoller. In a 1986 Audio Magazine interview with L&S, Jerry Leiber had this to say about lead singer Brenda Reid: "We had this hysterical-sounding group called The Exciters. The girl, Brenda, sang out of tune, but she sang in a wild, exciting way." JL: In the 12/14 episode of Ally McBeal (and the original pilot as well; she didn't submit an entry). EJs: Music and lyrics by Bert Russell; produced by Leiber & Stoller. The first and biggest hit for the R&B quartet from Queens. Remade as "Tell Her" by Dean Parrish (1966) and Kenny Loggins (1989). There was a fence that held our love There was a gate that he walked out of This is the heart, it has turned to stone This is a house, it ain't no home #10) Aretha Franklin: "The House That Jack Built" (1968) [6] {2} JL: Originally done by Thelma Jones. EJs: Produced by Jerry Wexler. From the album "Aretha Now." CO: The "A" side of "I Say A Little Prayer." "The House That Jack Built" charted higher (6 vs. 10 for "I Say A Little Prayer"), but "I Say A Little Prayer" seems to get a lot more airplay today. I'll sing to you each morning I'll kiss you every night But darling, don't cling to me I'll soon be out of sight #11) Gale Garnett: "We'll Sing In The Sunshine" (1964) [4] {-} EJs: Music and lyrics by Gale Garnett. The first and biggest hit for the New Zealand native, a Grammy-award winning song. GY: Went on to star on Dallas (The TV Show). Walkin' about, even in a crowd Well, you'll pick her out #12) Herman's Hermits: "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter" (1965) [1] {-} The biggest US hit for the group from Manchester, England. They never released it as a single in Britain, thinking it too corny for British audiences. In concerts, they would change the lyrics to "she wants to return the things I bought her, tell her she can shove them down the drain." I saw him live in a small local club in his post-HH incarnation, the Tremblers. JL: Answer record: Mrs. Brown, You Had A Lovely Daughter by OJ Simpson Will you try to justify the meaning Of the note you sent this evening To my door, you're not deceiving me I'd have thought that you'd have known much better Sending 'round an unsigned letter Facing me would be much better now #13) Keith: "Tell Me To My Face" (1967) [37] {-} As many teams guessed The Hollies as Keith (10-10), but their version never charted in the US. Those who like this song are encouraged to seek out the epic, seven minute plus Dan Fogelberg-Tim Weisberg version from their "Twins Sons of Different Mothers" album. Your name and mine inside a heart, upon a wall Still finds a way to haunt me, though they're so small #14) Left Banke: "Walk Away Renee" (1966) [5] {-} The first of three songs lead singer Michael Brown wrote about Renee Fladen, a girl friend of one of the other band members. The others were "Pretty Ballerina" and "She May Call You Up Tonight." Aerosmith's Steven Tyler would be a backup vocalist on later Left Banke singles. EJs: Also a hit in 1968 for the Four Tops; revived in 1986 by Southside Johnny & The Jukes. I must admit she knew her mind And it will not take her long to find Another place where the sun will shine #15) Mamas & The Papas: "Look Through My Window" (1966) [24] {-} Their first single not to chart in the Top 10. Written by John Phillips. Could it be you misunderstood When you tried to read my mind? 'Cause this time you will find #16) Scott McKenzie: "Like An Old Time Movie" (1967) [24] {-} Also written by John Phillips for his close friend, this moody single was meant to show a different side of Scott. Unfortunately for Scott, it was to be his last side in the Top 100. Scott and John Phillips had both been in the Journeymen, and would later team in the 80s to write the Beach Boys "Kokomo." With you to stand beside me I'll never be alone And what more could I long for Than to have you for my own #17) Ricky Nelson: "Sweeter Than You" (1959) [9] {-} Half of the two-sided hit that included "Just A Little Too Much" There's a bunch of alley cats, ought to be chasing rats Instead of little mouses here like you But they're out trying their best, trying their best to mess Up a love that's honest and true #18) Newbeats: "Everything's Alright" (1964) [16] {-} Pop-trio that included Larry Henley, who would later write "Wind Beneath My Wings." Ah, nineteen sixty-five, hah Now you come around signifyin', woman #19) Wilson Pickett: "Mustang Sally" (1966) [23] {6} JL: First recorded by Mack Rice. Soon as I have some money For a home and everything We won't have to keep it a secret That you've got my wedding ring #20) Joey Powers: "Midnight Mary" (1963) [10] {-} EJs: The only hit song for the Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, native. Ue o muite aruko Namida ga kobore naiyouni Omoidasu harunohi Hitoribotchi no yoru #21) Kyu Sakamoto: "Sukiyaki" (1963) [1] {-} Kyu would eventually be turned into Sukiyaki by a 1985 plane crash near Tokyo that killed 520 people. HT: "Ue O Muite Aruko" is the original title of this Japanese tear- jerker, meaning "I Look Up When I Walk." The song was heard by Pye Records head Louis Benjamin during a trip to Japan; he had one of his artists, Kenny Ball (a dixieland jazz bandleader), record an instrumental version, which became a top-10 hit in the UK. Benjamin jettisoned the song's original title, and substituted his favorite item of Japanese cuisine. Meanwhile, Sakamoto's original version was released in the States, under the same silly title as Ball's, and became a surprise hit. (A Japanese record executive should've retaliated by releasing some American ballad in Japan as "Cheeseburger.") When it looked like everything would turn out all right But then I came home a little early one night And there she was, kissin' on another man Now I know what mama meant when she took me by the hand #22) Percy Sledge: "Take Time To Know Her" (1968) [11] {6} I really love you, girl I really need you now I've got to have you each and every day #23) Steam: "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" (1969) [1] {20} What? It's really in the song, at the beginning of the fadeout, just after the interminable chorus that makes one appreciate just how repetitive this song really is. But then again, that was the original intent of the producer, who wanted this to be the B-side from hell. Somehow, I ended up owning their one follow-up single. The house that we built was once filled with laughter But I changed that laughter to tears And now I live in a world without sunshine Oh, how I wish you were here #24) Jerry Wallace: "Shutters And Boards" (1962) [24] {-} CO: Co-written by movie star, Audie Murphy. Well, I see that you're still here Aren't you lonely since our darling disappeared Well look here, is that a teardrop in the corner of your pane? Now don't you try to tell me that it's rain #25) Faron Young: "Hello Walls" (1961) [12] {-} JL: Written by Willie Nelson. In the soundtrack of "The People vs. Larry Flynt." On C&W charts for 23 weeks, 9 at #1. EJs: Performed at last month's Kennedy Center Honors in tribute to honoree Nelson. ----------------------- T I E - B R E A K E R S ----------------------- If I ventured in the slipstream Between the viaducts of your dream Where immobile steel rims crack And the ditch in the back roads stop Could you find me? #T1) Van Morrison: "Astral Weeks" (1968) [n/c] {-} Van's highly-praised first solo album, partially written while Van was living in Cambridge, MA. And the warriors of winter Give a cold, triumphant shout And all that stays is dying And all that lives is getting out You see the geese in the chevron plane Flapping and a-racing on before the snow #T2) Tom Rush: "Urge For Going" (1967) [n/c] {-} The first appearance of a Joni Mitchell song was on Tom Rush's "Circle Game" album, but the story does not start there. Tom had made a tape of the song months earlier and given it to two Boston disc jockeys, Jefferson Kaye and Dick Sommers, who played it by listener request on WBZ, a progressive AM radio station with a 50,000 watt, clear-channel signal that could be heard throughout the eastern half of the U.S. There were so many requests that the song reached the top of the charts at WBZ. Tom still gets e-mail from fans who only know it as a song they heard on a distant AM radio station while parked with their future spouse late at night in a remote town in Ohio, etc. The album also provided the first major exposure for songwriters Jackson Browne and JamesTaylor, who would be major players in the singer/songwriter era of the early seventies. Joni would record the song herself in 1971 as the B-side to "You Turn Me On, I'm A Radio," as would Crosby, Stills & Nash later. Only Tom's name got you credit, since the others were after 1969, and before Morrison in the alphabet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This chart ranks the songs from most recognized to the least recognized. The third number on the line denotes the average number of points scored on that song (total points divided by the number of entrants, to 1 decimal place). For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 0-20 point scale. Rank Song Avg.

A definite eye-opener was the lack of recognition of #23. Most of the songs were recognizable to over half the entrants. Even the tie-breakers were rather well-known. The average score was 320.3, which works out to be 12.8 for non-tie breaker songs. _____________________
