RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #209 (GOLQ209)
Thanks to all for playing GOLQ 209, and CONGRATULATIONS to Ron Anderson
and the Village Idiots, who tied for the top spot . . . both teams had
perfect scores and identified both tie breakers. Randy and Peter, and
Across the Boarder also had perfect scores but got partial or no credit
on T1. Delphi Trivia, who identified both tie breakers, came in fifth
and would have tied for first, except for two picky deductions which we
hated to assess (but did anyway, since the other four teams had them
perfect). As a point of interest, eight of the fourteen entrants missed
two or less, while the remaining six teams--many of which often score
well--commented that our quiz was very challenging. We also noted that
a number of regular players did not submit an entry, and we hope the
quiz wasn't so difficult that we scared folks away. Either that, or it
"just shows t'go ya" that different folks have different memory triggers.
We hope everyone enjoyed the quiz.

#05) Dove, Ronnie: Cry (1966) [18] {-}
Note: Dove was our intended artist, but Ray Charles is also correct.

answers alphabetically.
If I called out your name like a prayer at night

Forget the fellas at the candy store
'Cause you ain't gonna see 'em anymore
#10) Kalin Twins, The: Forget Me Not (1958) [12] {-}
I don't need a fortune teller
I don't need a crystal ball
#11) Lewis, Gary and the Playboys: (You Don't Have To) Paint Me A Picture (1966) [15] {-}
And I wish my head had been working right
We'd have gone for coffee and talked all night
#12) Lovin' Spoonful, The: Six O'Clock (1967) [18] {-}
Do they take 'em for expresso, yeah, I guess so

Ah, but now I see the light
And everything's gonna be alright, baby

Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes

Is this the way our romance ends?
I got the message when you said we could be friends
My love was true
#20) Sinatra, Frank: I Can't Believe I'm Losing You (1968) [60] {-}
It's so quiet in the street
You can hear the sound of feet walking by
I'll put the coffee on to brew
We can have a cup or two
#21) Spanky and Our Gang: Sunday Mornin' (1968) [30] {-}
My girlfriend Betty tells me he's lazy
But I know Betty loves him like crazy
#22) Storm, Gale: Teenage Prayer (1955) [6] {-}
If good looks was a minute
You know that you would be an hour

And I will be your mentor
And night will be our darling
And fear will be our name
It's hi, ho, hey
#T1) Farina, Richard & Mimi: Bold Marauder (1965) [-] {-}
Note: Mimi is sister of Joan Baez; recorded with husband Richard Farina.
Duo was gaining in popularity among the Dylan/Baez folk music crowd
until Farina died in a motorcyle accident shortly after publishing
his book, "Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me." Sitting about
20 feet away, I saw them perform this song during a workshop at the
1965 Newport Folk Music Festival; same event where Dylan "went
electric" and sang "Like A Rolling Stone."
TV dinner by the pool
Watch your brother grow a beard
Got another year of school
You're okay he's too weird
#T2) Mothers of Invention: Brown Shoes Don't Make It (1967) [-] {-}
