version did. The most successful of the 4 was by James "Buzz" Cason recording
under the name Garry Miles. Norm's original clip of this song was from a
portion of the song that was essentially indistinguishable from the
corresponding portion of the version by Garry Miles. The clip used is from

the teams that identified this song correctly identified the artist.]

#T1) Burnett, Carol: "Puppy Love" (1957) [-] {-}
[We had been hoping that someone would recognize her voice on this song,
even if they hadn't heard the song before. The Across the Boarder team
and The EJ'S & Co. both identified her correctly but guessed the wrong
title. The Across the Boarder team actually guessed the more well-known
flipside of this record, "I Made A Fool Of Myself Over John Foster Dulles,"
while The EJ'S & Co. guessed at the title and came close with "Animal Love."]
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ208/GOLQ208-T2.mp3
#T2) Hickman, Dwayne: "School Dance" (1958) [-] {-}
[This song was #48 on the CHUM Radio (Toronto, Canada) charts on
April 28, 1958. This was released a year before he played Dobie Gillis on
"The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis," although he begin acting in 1942 at
age 8 (according to http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0382722/).
The quiz intro stated that the two tie-breakers are related by a mini-theme.
Besides the obvious connection that these are semi-obscure recordings by
people who would later become well known as TV stars, both of
these records were released on the ABC label, and the first major TV show
for each of them was on CBS.]
=============================================================================
This chart ranks the songs/artists from most to least recognized. The second
number on the line denotes the average number of points scored on that song
(total points divided by number of entrants, to 2 decimal places). For
