RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #227 (GOLQ227)
Congratulations to the Delphi Trivia Club and the team of Randy Price and
Peter Morley who tied for first place in this quiz with perfect scores of
500++. Tied for third place are The Coasters, Really Rockin' In Boston,
and Will McCorry, who receives the GOLQ227 Individual Achievement Award.
This has been a high-scoring quiz with the mean score being 407.45 and the
median 488.5.
Both Will McCorry and Rick Schubert noticed that, except for the tie-breakers,
the songs I selected for the quiz have all been used in GOLQ01-GOLQ25 and
not since. The tie-breakers have no intended connection to earlier quizzes.
I would have picked fewer quizzes to draw from, but I needed to ensure that
there were enough candidates whose recordings I had access to. Rick, the
founder of the GOLQs, points out that these songs have not been used on a GOLQ
for between 13.6 years and 15.2 years: GOLQ01 was posted on September 5, 1990
and GOLQ25 was posted on April 16, 1992.
I'd like to give credit to those entrants to this quiz that were active back
in that era. Here is a list of those people, along with the GOLQ in which
their names were first mentioned in the results. (Please accept my apologies
if I have omitted anyone.)
GOLQ01: Rick Schubert
GOLQ04: Howard Teitelbaum
GOLQ05: Dave Cochran
GOLQ07: Kathy Schubert
GOLQ10: Bonnie Teitelbaum
GOLQ21: Genasys Team
My thanks go to those and to all the others who have participated.
Regina Litman will be posting GOLQ228 later this week.

Blow, Daddy
Oh that's great
Let's celebrate
A'playing real good now
#01) Bonds, Gary (U.S.): "School Is Out" (1961) [5] {12}
And when I hold you in my arms
My love can't do me no harm
#02) Brown, James, and The Famous Flames: "I Got You (I Feel Good)"
(1965/66) [3] {1}
From Rick Schubert (The Coasters): Last used in GOLQ001, setting a new
GOLQ record of 226 quizzes between uses of a song. The previous record
had been 217 by "Mind, Body and Soul" (used in GOLQ009 and GOLQ226).
They say that our love won't grow
But I just want to tell them that they don't know
#03) Butler, Jerry, & the Impressions: "For Your Precious Love" (1958) [11] {3}
You should see my little sis
She really knows how to rock

Why can't I forget the past

Oh if you do it, do it right
Just make your body loose and light

You and I under the moon of love
#08) Danleers, The: "One Summer Night" (1958) [7] {4}
Do you remember a girl, that very special girl?
Well to the old and to the new
We rededicate this song to you
#09) Dells, The: "Oh, What a Night" (1969) [10] {1}
I'm not trying to be smart
I'm not trying to break your heart
But if I ask you for a date
Will you tell me that I'm not too late
#10) Domino, Fats: "I Want To Walk You Home" (1959) [8] {1}
From Paul Stanton (Really Rockin' In Boston): My 23-year-old daughter
just got back from New Orleans, where she volunteered for three weeks
with the Red Cross. She was staying in a hotel in the French Quarter
and having a drink in the bar when she bumped elbows with the guy next
to her. She looked at the bartender and asked, "Is that him?" The
bartender nodded, and she and her crew proceeded to express their appre-
ciation to "Mr. Domino," who entertained them with songs--some classic
and one he just made up. It turns out that Fats is living in the French
Quarter after having his home washed out of the Ninth Ward (poor part of
town), but he has been rediscovered as a symbol for New Orleans' recovery.
(I was proud of her for knowing who Fats Domino is!)
And maybe we'll be lovers when the music ends
#11) Drifters, The: "Dance With Me" (1959/60) [15] {2}
No wondering and a'guessing
Don't need dancing lessons
Listen to the jerky beat
#12) Flares, The: "Foot Stomping - Part 1" (1961) [25] {20}
Sentimental fool am I
To hear an old love song and want to cry
But the melody keeps haunting me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
#13) Four Tops, The: "It's the Same Old Song" (1965) [5] {2}
And there will be beneath the midnight sky above
Just you and me and you will whisper words of love
#14) Gore, Lesley: "California Nights" (1967) [16] {-}
Now you take Sally and I'll take Sue
And we're gonna rock away all our blues
#15) Kenner, Chris: "I Like It Like That, Part 1" (1961) [2] {2}
Oh, Melinda, she's a solid sender
You know you'd better surrender
#16) Little Richard and His Band: "Slippin' and Slidin' (Peepin' and Hidin')"
(1956) [33] {2}
Your lips were oh so soft and warm
And a wonderful love was born
#17) Majors, The: "A Wonderful Dream" (1962) [22] {23}
To fall in love
To fall in love
Yes, to fall in love right now
#18) Mason, Barbara: "Yes, I'm Ready" (1965) [5] {2}
I'd watch you cry
I'd laugh at your tears and tell you goodbye
#19) McDaniels, Gene: "Tower of Strength" (1961) [5] {5}
Way across the sea
