GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #199 ANSWERS:
Answers are in the form:
#number) Artist: Title (year[s]) [peak Pop] {peak R&B}
"peak Pop" = Peak position achieved on the weekly Billboard chart
"peak R&B" = Peak position on the weekly Billboad Rhythm & Blues chart
Recordings charting between late 1963 and early 1965 show a peak R&B of {n/c},
meaning "no chart", as Billboard didn't publish an R&B chart from 11/30/63
through 1/23/65.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do your livin' in a comic book
Be a Superman or a Captain Hook
Ah ah ah, ya
Ah ah ah, ya
#01) American Breed: Step Out Of Your Mind (1967) [24] {-}
It's so easy to be smart
With somebody else's heart
But I don't know where to start
Forgetting you, what can I do
#02) Ames Brothers: It Only Hurts For A Little While (1956) [11] {-}
Like the Samba sound
My heart begins to pound
I go off the ground
To where I'm poco loco
#03) Paul Anka: Eso Beso(That Kiss!) (1962) [19] {-}
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
#04) Beatles: Something (1969) [3] {-}
You keep lookin' at me
While you dance in another's arms
And you pretend to be
So enchanted with all his charms
#05) Brook Benton: Revenge (1961/62) [15] {12}
And when I'm gone
There'll be one child born
In this world to carry on, carry on
#06) Blood, Sweat & Tears: And When I Die (1969) [2] {-}
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
And he would always win the fight
#07 Cher: Bang Bang(My Baby Shot Me Down) (1966) [2] {-}
The movie's over, it's four o'clock
And we're in trouble deep
#08) Everly Brothers: Wake Up Little Susie (1957/58) [1] {1}
I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I
Several stories high
#09) Eddie Fisher: On The Street Where You Live (1956) [18] {-}
Several entrants mentioned it was written for the musical MY FAIR
LADY. This song was recognized more than I thought it would be.
Old man rhythm is in my shoes
It's no use a-sittin' an' a-singin' the blues
#10) Frankie Ford: Sea Cruise (1959) [14] {11}
Each time we kiss good night
I find I get so excited I can't sleep at night
I've lost my appetite
No appetite no sleep, at night
#11) Four Lads: Who Needs You (1957) [9] {-}
L'Equipe mentions that this popular Toronto quartet also backed
Johnny Ray on several of his hits.
Hang on, hang on to him
Think, what a big man he'll be
Think, of the places you'll see
#12) 4 Seasons: Dawn(Go Away) (1964) [3] {n/c}
I wanna tell you a story
Every man oughta know
If you want a little lovin'
You gotta start real slow
She's gonna love you tonight now
#13) Roy Head And The Traits: Treat Her Right (1965) [2] {2}
A great sensation
Oh you and me baby
A good combination
Aw sock it to me (sock it to me)
Sock it to me (sock it to me)
#14) Isley Brothers: I Turned You On (1969) [23] {6}
Ooh, gotta get away from you
Fast as I can
Too much for me baby
More than my heart can stand
#15) Gladys Knight & The Pips: The End Of Our Road (1968) [15] {5}
Marvin Gaye's version charted in 1970
Drop a dime before I walk away
Any song you want I'll gladly play
Money feeds my music machine
#16) Lemon Pipers: Green Tambourine (1967/68) [1] {-}
Not surprisingly, every entrant got this one
I'm not ashamed to cry
It's better than to hold it inside
And I won't be satisfied
Until you're here by my side
You're as close to me as two is to three
#17) Dean Martin: The Door Is Still Open To My Heart (1964) [6] {n/c}
I just want a chance to see her face
Don't stop the meter, let it race
#18) Mills Brothers: Cab Driver (1968) [23] {-}
Come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow, will be too late

Oh-O-Oh
Here he comes again
He'll smile and then
Should I smile too?
#20) Raindrops: What A Guy (1963) [41] {25}
To him you were nothin' but a little plaything
Not much more than an overnight fling
To me you were the greatest thing
This boy had ever found
#21) Johhny Rivers: Poor Side Of Town (1966) [1] {-}
Come on baby fly your hands around
You can even do it sitting down
#22) Dee Dee Sharp: Do The Bird (1963) [10] {8}
Oh I wake up in the mornin' with my hair down in my eyes,
and she says hi
And I stumble to the breakfast table while the kid's
are goin' off to school, goodbye
#23) O.C. Smith: Little Green Apples (1968) [2] {2}
And who's the one you didn't need to plead
To give her time to the Little League
#24) B.J. Thomas: Mama (1966) [22] {-}
Ron Crandall mentions that in the UK version by Dave Berry the
line is "To give her time to the little me."
As we stroll by the sea together
Under stars twinkling high above
So in love are we two
No one else but me and you
#25) Tymes: So Much In Love (1963) [1] {4}
Several entrants mentioned it was also labeled "So In Love."
My grandpappy, he don't like your records
He said if I play them
I will surely die
Look out I see him comin' with his shotgun
There's nothing left to do
#T1) Carole King: Oh, Neil (1959)
King's answer record to Neil Sedaka's "Oh! Carol." (GOLQ109)
I think it was issued in late 59, although it's also listed as
1960. The Coasters and Silk/Magruder/McCaw teams identified
this oft mentioned, but seldom heard recording.
Automation, tin can lids
Pretty soon they're gonna make your kids
How'd you like a Body By Fisher girl?
If man keeps goin' in this same old way
Makin' himself some robot slave
#T2) Turtles: Pall Bearing, Ball Bearing World (1966)
From "You Baby", The Turtles second LP. The Price/Morley
team identified this very tough selection.
