From: Howard Teitelbaum <golq204@golq.org>
RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #204 (GOLQ204)
Congratulations to Randy Price & Peter Morley, who solved all 25 regular songs
to finish first. One song behind them, in second place, was Across the
Boarder, who had the distinction of being the only team to identify song #T1.
Third place went to the Really Rockin' in Boston team, and three entrants tied
for fourth: Navairheads, Ron Anderson, and The Village Idiots.
Intended micro-themes were "Howard's concert review" (songs #08 & 24) and
"half of the duo died recently" (songs 05 & 22). Unintended micro-theme, noted
by Bonnie T., was "proposed legal reforms" (songs #16 & 18).
As always, thanks to everyone who entered!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love
You tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of
But who are you to tell her who to love?
#01) Arthur Alexander: "You Better Move On" (1962) [24] {-}
[Previously used in GOLQ #82.]
Well, it's the second time I caught you talkin' to him
Do I have to tell you one more time, I think it's a sin
#02) The Beatles: "You Can't Do That" (1964) [48] {n/c}
[Previously used in GOLQ #73.]
[Written by John; B-side of Paul's "Can't Buy Me Love"; both, of course,
credited to Lennon-McCartney. The session when this song was recorded --
25 February 1964 -- was the first to feature George's new toy, his
12-string Rickenbacker guitar.]
Every tear you shed
Tells me that your love is true
#03) Bobby Bland: "Don't Cry No More" (1961) [71] {2}
A heart beats softly, about to die
Wandering alone at night
Waiting for the storm to pass away
#04) The Critters: "Don't Let the Rain Fall Down on Me" (1967) [39] {-}
The whole world seems to know
Love is like a candlelight
Always giving off a glow
#05) Dick and Deedee: "Young and in Love" (1963) [17] {-}
[Previously used in GOLQ #83. Dick St. John (Richard St. John Gosting)
died on December 27, after falling off a ladder at home, at age 63. His
wife, Sandy, became the new "Deedee" in the early '70s, when Dick's
original singing partner, Mary Sperling, retired from the act.]
There's a little place near our town
We're gonna go there
Everybody comes from miles around
We're gonna go there
#06) Duane Eddy and The Rebelettes: "Boss Guitar" (1963) [28] {28}
[The Rebelettes are actually Darlene Love's group, The Blossoms. Minus 1
point if you forgot them.]
I've learned my lesson
It left a scar
And now I see
How you really are
#07) Betty Everett: "You're No Good" (1963/64) [51] {n/c}
[Previously used in GOLQ #76.]
We enjoy sitting side by side
In the booth in the ice cream parlor
Where we play the nickelodeon
And we dance when we hear our favorite melody
#08) The Everly Brothers: "That's Old Fashioned (That's the Way
Love Should Be)" (1962) [9] {-}
[Previously used in GOLQ #43. See my comments re: song #24.]
Suspended under the twilight canopy
We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us
#09) The 5th Dimension: "Up-Up and Away" (1967) [7] {-}
[Previously used in GOLQ #50.]
When you were so in love with me
I played around like I was free
Thought I could have my cake and eat it too
But how I cried over losin' you
#10) The 4 Seasons featuring the "sound" of Frankie Valli: "Working My Way
Back To You" (1966) [9] {-}
[Previously used in GOLQ #130.]
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
And there you were
#11) Marvin Gaye: "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You" (1964/65) [6] {n/c}
[Previously used in GOLQ #44. Minus 4 points if you omitted the latter
5/9 of the title. Jessica Raine noted: "James Taylor did a
not-nearly-as-good cover of this."]
When you asked me to meet your Ma
I knew that, baby, we'd be goin' far
#12) Herman's Hermits: "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" (1965) [2] {-}
[Previously used in GOLQ #35. This was the second US hit for this
British Invasion band. It covered the original UK hit version (as
"Can't You Hear My Heart Beat?"), which, ironically, was by an American
band, Goldie & The Gingerbreads. Genya "Goldie" Zelkowitz (a Polish-born
Holocaust survivor) re-emerged as a solo act in the '70s as Genya Ravan.
Check out her interesting website at "genyaravan.com".]
Come on, come on, come on, baby, now (come on baby)
Come on and work it on out (come on and work it on out)
#13) The Isley Brothers: "Twist And Shout" (1962) [17] {2}
[Previously used in GOLQ #33. Capably covered by The Beatles in 1963.]
[The song was written by Bert Berns and Phil Medley, and the Isleys'
recording was produced by Berns. It was originally recorded in 1961 by The
Top Notes on Atlantic Records - an uncharted and undistinguished rendition.
In Rhino's "The Isley Brothers Story Vol. 1" CD, Jerry Wexler of Atlantic
related this story about the Top Notes' rendition: "It was when Phil
Spector was working with us, and he and I produced the record and it was
horrible. Bert was such a newcomer, he was sitting in the spectator's
booth, watching Phil and I butcher his song. Phil changed the middle
around, we had the wrong tempo, the wrong feel, but we didn't realize that
Bert could've produced it. Did he say anything afterward? Yeah, he said
'Man, you f***ed it up.'"]
'Cause your heart keeps beatin'
Like a big bass drum
And the beat's gettin' stronger
And it's so much fun
#14) Tommy James and The Shondells: "It's Only Love" (1966/67) [31] {-}
[The originally posted song #14 was Jan & Arnie's "Jennie Lee." Jean
O'Shea noted that we had used the cover version by Billy Ward and His
Dominoes in GOLQ #181, which was too recently to have re-used the song.]
Her love for me is wider than the ocean
Goes deeper than the sea
Woh-oh-oh she makes me feel so good
When she rock and roll for me
#15) Ernie K-Doe: "Te-Ta-Te-Ta-Ta" (1961) [53] {21}
[Previously used in GOLQ #72.]
I'd pass the greatest law in history
A lovely little law
I hope you'd never break
And it would make you fall in love with me
#16) Little Peggy March: "I Wish I Were a Princess" (1963) [32] {-}
[Previously used in GOLQ #39. Follow-up release after "I Will Follow Him,"
with similar style. The Coasters team noted the song's use in the
soundtrack of the movie "Hairspray."]
I kissed you once and then
I felt so wonderful
So very wonderful
Let's do it over again
#17) Johnny Mathis: "Gina" (1962) [6] {-}
[Previously used in GOLQ #90.]
Then you would have to change your ways
Or you'd get thirty days
#18) Mickey and Sylvia: "There Oughta Be a Law" (1957) [47] {8}
[Previously used in GOLQ #58.]
He'll put stardust in your eyes
And build castles in your skies
And he's out with a new girl every night
#19) The Newbeats: "Break Away (From that Boy)" (1965) [40] {-}
[Previously used in GOLQ #93.]
You're the sweetest thing that I have ever seen
'Cause I really love you, baby
I'm gonna shake your tree
#20) Otis & Carla: "Lovey Dovey" (1968) [60] {21}
[Last of three charting singles from Otis Redding & Carla Thomas' album of
duets, "King & Queen" (others were "Tramp" and "Knock on Wood"). This
verse is referenced in the Steve Miller Band's 1973/74 hit, "The Joker." I
awarded a point for those who cited "The Joker" without identifying "Lovey
Dovey" as the source. Miller's quote is closer to the original 1954
version by The Clovers (a #2 R&B chart hit), who sang this verse as:
Well, you're the cutest thing that I did ever see
I really love your peaches
Gonna shake your tree ]
Am I crying because I'm happy
Or am I crying because I'm blue without you, yeah, yeah
You took my heart and threw it away
Now you're gone, and come what may
#21) Patty & The Emblems: "Mixed-Up, Shook-Up, Girl" (1964) [37] {n/c}
[Previously used in GOLQ #26.]
Girl, I can't let you do this
Let you walk away
Girl, how can I live through this
When you're all I wake up for each day?
#22) The Righteous Brothers: "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" (1966) [1] {13}
[Previously used in GOLQ #14 and #100. Bobby Hatfield, the tenor of the
duo, died in November 2003 at age 63.]
Pitter-patter of the feet
Movin' and a-groovin' with that beat
Jumpin' and stompin' on the floor
#23) The Sensations: "Let Me In" (1962) [4] {2}
[Previously used in GOLQ #11.]
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
#24) Simon & Garfunkel: "I Am a Rock" (1966) [3] {-}
[Previously used in GOLQ #82.]
[I saw the duo on December 7, during their recent "Old Friends" tour. To
conclude the first set, they did their Tom & Jerry hit, "Hey, Schoolgirl,"
and pointed out how they had done their best to sound like the Everlys.
They then introduced the Everly Brothers, with whom they were touring, and
who performed a short set. S&G then joined the brothers for a rendition of
"Bye Bye Love" (which S&G had covered on the "Bridge Over Troubled Water"
LP), after which S&G did a second set. It was interesting to hear the S&G
harmonies on some Simon solo material, such as "American Tune" (from his LP
"There Goes Rhymin' Simon").]
Ginnie only wants you
'Cause she thinks she has to have everyone
Minnie only wants you
'Cause she thinks that hurting me would be fun
#25) Mary Wells: "The One Who Really Loves You" (1962) [8] {2}
[Previously used in GOLQ #23 and #96.]
------------
Tie-breakers:
------------
Don't you know I'm in love with you?
Can't you see what I'm sayin' is true?
I've loved you right from the start
Oh, baby, we'll never part
#T1) The Cleftones: "String Around My Heart" (1956) [-] {-}
She's sweet, she's fine
Makes me lose my mind
I love her so
I never let her go
#T2) The Five Satins: "The Jones Girl" (1956) [-] {-}
[This was originally meant to be the A-side. However, it was the B-side
that went on to glory -- "In the Still of the Nite." The obscurity of the
intended A-side is demonstrated by the fact that this song was the complete
stumper of the quiz.]
