RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #213 (GOLQ213)
Congratulations to the team of Randy Price and Peter Morley, who took first
place in this quiz with a score of 490++. Tied for second were The EJ's &
Co. and The Village Idiots, while The Genateam had the only other score over
400. James White was the high solo entrant.
GOLQ213's mean score was a relatively low 304.
As stated in the quiz preface, there is "no letter "x" in any of the song
titles, artist names, or lyrics in this quiz." This was intended as a small
tip-off to the fact that recordings #01 through #25 are by artists whose
names begin with A through Z, excluding X.
Check out the solution to The Puzzler and the names of those entrants who
solved it in the section following the main quiz.
My thanks to all those who participated. Rick Schubert & Norm Katuna have
already posted GOLQ214 ...
And the hits just keep on coming!

And let me drink to a love I thought was mine
A love I thought was true to me
But now I'm drinking to a memory
#01) Anka, Paul: "A Steel Guitar And A Glass Of Wine" (1962) [13] {-}
The Dutch Officials: With Ray Ellis and his Orchestra.
Anka is still actively performing in casinos and community theaters
in the U.S. and Canada.
Hold ya tight
Gotta need ya so
With all my might
I gotta squeeze ya
Hold ya tight
Because
I love ya so
#02) Brown, James: "Give It Up Or Turnit A Loose" (1969) [15] {1}
(Say you love me)
Darling, say we'll never part
Your love for me, dear, stays in my heart
Tell me why-y-y-y should I make you sigh
#03) Charts, The: "Deserie" (1957) [88] {-}
Run your hand
Through your hair
Paint your face
With despair
That's your lot in life
#04) Donovan: "Lalena" (1968) [33] {-}
"It's not very well known, but 'Lalena' is a composite title made up
from the name of the German actress Lotte Lenya," said Donovan. "I was
fascinated with 'The Threepenny Opera' as a socially conscious musical."
The renowned Kurt Weill/Bertolt Brecht "opera for beggars" starred
Weill's wife, Lenya, in the immortal role of the prostitute Jenny Diver
(in fact, Bobby Darin and Louis Armstrong inserted Lenya's name into
their classic versions of the musical's opening theme, "Mack The Knife").
The way you hug me
The way you squeeze me

Mister, you can be a hero
You can open any door
#06) Four Aces, featuring Al Alberts: "Heart" (1955) [13] {-}
Eddie Fisher also fits alphabetically.
From the Broadway musical "Damn Yankees." This was my pre-playoffs
attempt to spur the Red Sox on to a potential meeting with and defeat
of the dreaded New York Yankees for the American League Championship
and an eventual World Series victory. I take full credit for this
surprisingly prescient inspiration's part in helping the Sox come back
from a 3-games-to-none hole to defeat the Yanks in 7 games and finish
off the mighty Cardinals in 4 straight. Just doing my job as a member
of Red Sox Nation! (And no, the Four Aces are not Schilling, Martinez,
Wakefield, and Lowe.)
Since I can't love you right, baby
I don't have to love you at all
#07) George, Barbara: "I Know (You Don't Love Me No More)" (1961/62) [3] {1}
Don't know what a slide rule is for
But I know that one and one is two
#08) Herman's Hermits: "Wonderful World" (1965) [4] {-}
A cover of Sam Cooke's #12 hit in 1960. It was covered again by
Art Garfunkel with James Taylor & Paul Simon in 1978.
Just because I don't do the dance they way they want me to
Can't they see that I'm in a different bag?
#09) Intruders, The: "Slow Drag" (1968) [54] {12}
Oh, can't you hear the angels callin'
Oh, yeah
Listen!
Shinin' through eternity
As it was, so it shall be, yeah
#10) James, Tommy, and The Shondells: "Ball Of Fire" (1969) [19] {-}
I've laid in a ghetto flat cold and numb
I've heard the rats tell the bedbugs to give the roaches some
#11) King, B. B.: "Why I Sing The Blues" (1969) [61] {13}
Mom and papa told me, "Son, you'd better watch yourself"
If they knew about
#12) Little Richard: "Good Golly, Miss Molly" (1958) [10] {4}
Richard Wayne Penniman was born and raised in Macon, Georgia, the third
of twelve children, and began singing in his local church choir. He
signed with RCA Records in 1951 after winning a talent contest and
released two fairly unsuccessful singles. After returning to his job
washing dishes in a Greyhound bus station, Richard sent a demo tape
of "Tutti Fruitti" to Specialty Records, and the rest is rock 'n' roll
history. By 1968, Little Richard had sold over 32 million records
internationally. He was one of the first class of inductees into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1986) and received the Grammy Lifetime
Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993.
What can I say now?
Being sorry's just not good enough
I wouldn't blame you if you hurt me now
The way I hurt you then
But who else can I turn to?
Baby, I'm begging you
Please reach out to a dying man
And let him live again

(Oh, you take) West Street, East Street, North Avenue
#15) Orlons, The: "South Street" (1963) [3] {4}
All this aggravation ain't satisfactionin' me
#16) Presley, Elvis, with The Jordanaires: "A Little Less Conversation"
(1968) [69] {-}
This recording is used as the theme song for the TV drama "Las Vegas."
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire
I got a cobra snake for a necktie
#17) Quicksilver Messenger Service: "Who Do You Love" (1969) [91] {-}
A Bo Diddley song from 1956.

Folks were watching from the windows, everybody held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death

Just I and my friend
We'll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles

If you want some huggin', baby, I can hug some, too (yes, yes, oh)
Rrrrrowww!
All I want, baby, is some parts of you (yes, yes, of you)
Just a little bit of 'tention (yes, yes, from you)

'Cause you know you're my kind

Boudleaux Bryant. Also recorded by Roy Orbison (B-side of "Running

Emmylou Harris in duet with Carl Jackson. There will be a duet of
this great song coming out soon from the Gram Parsons Memorial Concert
that took place this July in L.A. The duet is (if you can imagine)

There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind at play

PUZZLER SOLUTION

Felicitations to those entrants who solved the Puzzler:

Team Teitelbaum, and Will McCorry.
The Mystery Quote, from Janis Joplin while on a long cross-country tour
with Big Brother & the Holding Company:
"I'M SAVING THE DRUMMER FOR OMAHA."
It turns out that the actual quote may be about saving the bass player
rather than the drummer, but, hey, you get the idea!
Clue Quotes:
DAVID CROSBY: "I am having so much fun performing, I feel almost guilty.
I think, my God, I hope no one comes and busts me for this."
MAMA CASS ELLIOT: "Probably the biggest bringdown in my life ... was being
in a pop group and finding out just how much it was like everything it was
supposed to be against."
JIMI HENDRIX: "The only thing that bugs me is critics. It's like shooting
at a flying saucer as it tries to land, without giving the occupants a
chance to identify themselves."
BUDDY HOLLY: "If anyone asks you what kind of music you play, tell him
"pop." Don't tell him "rock 'n' roll" or they won't even let you in the
hotel."
KEITH MOON: "We don't do anything outrageous off-stage besides having the
occasional game of backgammon. We don't smash hotels ... we redecorate them."
COLONEL TOM PARKER: "When I first knew Elvis he had a million dollars'
worth of talent. Now he has a million dollars."
KEITH RICHARDS: "I never had a problem with drugs - only with cops."
GRACE SLICK: "I've enjoyed accommodations offered by police departments
from Florida to Hawaii. Any time I saw a badge, something in me would snap."
FRANK ZAPPA: "Most rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing
people who can't talk for people who can't read."

Oh, how I love your legs")
BLACK Last name singer Priscilla White used as a recording artist

("Lodi" reached #52 as the flip side of "Bad Moon Rising")
POLKADOT Longest word in the title of the Billboard pop chart #1 single
from 1955-1969 which had the most letters in its title
(The longest title of a 1955-1969 #1 hit was Brian Hyland's
"Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini", just edging
out "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures)")
CHICK Royal Teens: "Man, dig that crazy _____!"
(The lead-in line to 1958's "Short Shorts")
MISERABLE One-word finish to Janis Joplin's statement that "People,
whether they know it or not, like their blues singers ..."
(The quote continues: "They like their blues singers to die
afterwards.")
