RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #253 (GOLQ253)
Seven teams identified all 25 songs in the main part of the quiz.
Congratulations to Randy Price & Peter Morley, and the Gypsy's Caravan,
each with a perfect 500++ score. The EJ's, Village Idiots, Delphi Trivia
Club, Ron Anderson, and Will McCorry also identified all 25, but minor
gliches on the tie breakers kept them from obtaining perfect scores.
Close behind were the Gena Team and Really Rockin' in Boston, having
missed just one or two.
Median score was 490, and mean was 407.
Thanks to all who entered!
Tom and Rick

You'll know that she has left you

How much I need him
How much I want him
How much I long for his love
#02) Annette: "O Dio Mio" (1960) [10] {-}
He's hot with ram induction
But it's understood
I got a fuel injected engine
Sittin' under my hood
#03) Beach Boys, The: "Shut Down" (1963) [23] {-}

Note: According to Whitburn, the Cleftones version did not include
"(I Love You)" in the title, though the Sam Cooke and earlier Nat King
Cole versions did.
Thought of going back
But all I'd see are strangers' faces
And all the scars that love erases
But as my mind walks through those places
I'm wondering what's come of them

When I see her tonight, I'm gonna squeeze her to death
#08) Everly Brothers, The: "Claudette" (1958) [30] {-}

Mmm, you look so fine (come out)
Move it nice and easy
Girl, you make me lose my mind

And when she passes
Each one she passes goes, "Aah"
#11) Getz/Gilberto: "The Girl From Ipanema" (1964) [5] {n/c}
This time we almost made our poem rhyme
This time we almost made that long, long climb
#12) Harris, Richard: "Didn't We" (1969) [63] {-}
Second verse
Same as the first
#13) Herman's Hermits: "I'm Henry The VIII, I Am" (1965) [1] {-}
How could I know
How could I tell
How could I know what was in
What was in her little little heart
#14) Impalas: "Oh, What A Fool" (1959) [86] {-}
And then with a voice as kind as could be
He cut him down like a big oak tree
#15) Kingston Trio, The: "Reverend Mr. Black" (1963) [8] {15}
Yodel-deedle-ay-ee, you ought to see my car
#16) Miller, Roger: "Kansas City Star" (1965) [31] {-}
It's there I'm gonna make my bed
Easy now

Though we go on our separate ways
Still the memory stays for always
My heart says
#18) Newton, Wayne and the Newton Brothers: "Danke Schoen" (1963) [13] {1}
I'll tie back my hair
Men's clothing I'll put on
I'll pass as your comrade
As we march along
#19) Peter, Paul & Mary: "The Cruel War" (1966) [52] {-}
Your kind of love is a treasure I hold
It's so much greater than silver or gold

You'll know her if you see her
Blue eyes and a ponytail
#21) Roe, Tommy: "Sheila" (1962) [1] {6}
My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
#22) Rolling Stones: "As Tears Go By" (1965/66) [6] {-}
Doo Ron De Ronde Ronde Boppa Doo Ron
#23) Shirelles, The: "I Met Him On A Sunday (Ronde-Ronde)" (1958) [49] {-}
And the elephants are kindly but they're dumb
#24) Simon & Garfunkel: "At The Zoo" (1967) [16] {-}
Through a meadow land
Toward a closing door
A door marked, "Nevermore"
That wasn't there before
#25) Williams, Andy: "Days Of Wine And Roses" (1963) [26] {-}
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
I don't know why I love you like I do
Nobody in the world can get along with you
You got the ways of the devil sleeping in a lion's den
I came home last night, you wouldn't even let me in
#T1) Dylan, Bob: "You're No Good" (1962) [-] {-}
From his first album. Written by Jesse Fuller, of "San Francisco Bay Blues"
fame. I think the correct lyrics are actually "ways of A devil," vice "THE
devil" but I didn't catch the error until after the quiz was released, but
I doubt if it was a discriminator. If any of you who missed this one think
that you would have gotten the correct answer if the word "a" was in there
instead of "the," let me know and I'll make the adjustment.
A squirmin' dog who's just had her day
#T2) Shannon, Del: "Under My Thumb" (1966) [-] {-}
Del's version was released on Liberty 55904. The original Rolling Stones
version, written by them, was not eligible because a Stones song was already
used in the main part of the quiz. Also, the Stones say, "THE squirmin' dog."
That distinction being made, we also gave credit to entrants who responded
with "The Who," a version that also qualifies.
_____________________________________________________________________________
The following table ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized.
The first column indicates the average number of points scored on that song
(total points divided by number of entrants). For comparison purposes,
