RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #258 (GOLQ258)
Nine teams identified all 25 songs in the main part of the quiz. Of those
nine, only the Village Idiots were able to attain a perfect score by
correctly identifying both tie breakers. Only other team to correctly
identify both tie breakers was Randy Price & Peter Morley, who narrowly
missed a perfect 500++ score.
Median score was 500 (!), and mean was 401.
Thanks to all who entered, especially those who only knew a few, but played
anyway for the fun of it!
Tom and Rick

================================================================================
Well, I've just told you, yes, the story of my life
And that little girl, oh yes, she is my loving wife
And our little house where we now stay
Sits in the middle of our little moonlit bay
#01) Anka, Paul: "Let The Bells Keep Ringing" (1958) [16] {-}
Then when your heart says he loves only you
And when it says he won't make you blue
Then ask your heart if your love is true
Just as his heart loves only you
#02) Avalon, Frankie: "Just Ask Your Heart" (1959) [7] {-}
So I say from me to you
I will make your dreams come true
Do you love me

They look just like two gurus in drag
#04) Beatles: "The Ballad of John and Yoko" (1969) [8] {-}
John says it's James who started first
James tells de story in reverse
I drag my belt from off me waist

#05) Belafonte, Harry: "Mama Look At Bubu" (1957) [11] {10}
Note: Some pressings show title as,

It's some endless yakking hound dog
Hawking and sweet talking to my dear
#06) Freddy Cannon: "Buzz Buzz A-Diddle-It" (1961) [51] {-}
Ain't no harm to take a little nip,
But don't you fall down and bust your lip

If I can't conceal the thrill that I'm feeling

Though my nights are lonely since we've been apart

We try acting grown up, but as a rule
We're all little children fresh from school

Sacred and moving as a lover's sigh
My love for you will always be

What does it matter how my heart breaks
I should be happy with someone new
But my heart aches for you
#14) Marcels: "Heartaches" (1961) [7] {19}

When everything I do is wrong
You give me love and consolation
You give me hope to carry on
#17) Peterson, Ray: "The Wonder Of You" (1959, 1964) [#25, #70]

(1959) [4] {-}
Turn it on, wind it up, blow it out
#20) Ronny & The Daytonas: "G.T.O." (1964) [4] {n/c}
The girl who loves a soldier is either sad or gay
'Cause first of all he's with her and then he's far away
But soldiers have their duty to answer to the call
And that is why I'm calling the loudest of them all
#21) Shelton, Anne: "Lay Down Your Arms" (1956) [59] {-}
Yeah darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space
#22) Steppenwolf: "Born to Be Wild" (1968) [2] {-}
My darlin` I have often thought of things we used to do
And now I sit and wonder why you`ve gone and left me blue
You said you`d never leave me, you said you`d never go

Make believe that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve in private cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
#24) Warwick, Dionne: "Walk On By" (1964) [6] {6}
True love came to me when I met you
True love makes me know I wont forget you
When you're around me, it makes me feel
Life is worth living, baby, love is so forgiving
#25) Wilson, Jackie: "I'll Be Satisfied" (1959) [20] {6}

Tie-Breakers
------------
And from your beam you made my dream
And from the world you sent my girl
#T1) Dr. Feelgood & the Interns: "Mister Moonlight" (1962) [-] {-}
Obscure B side of "Dr. Feel-Good" single from 1962, but noteworthy in that this
was the source from which the Beatles learned the song. Beatles is incorrect
answer for the artist because the Beatles have already been used in the main
part of the quiz and are therefore ineligible to appear in a tie-breaker. I
also credited "The Hollies," who recorded the song on their 1964 album, "Stay
With The Hollies."
Too bad he had to go
But there's pressure on me you know
No, it wasn't me that made him fall
You can't blame me at all
#T2) Seeger, Pete: "Who Killed Davey Moore?" (1963) [-] {-}
This song, written by Bob Dylan, comes from Pete Seeger's 1963 historical
"We Shall Overcome" album recorded live at Carnegie Hall. His most famous
rendition of "Guantanamera" is also on the same album. Although Dylan wrote
the song, Pete sings the lyrics in the above verse slightly different from
the Bob Dylan version and thus Dylan, as well as Sebastian Cabot who does
a verbal reading using Dylan's exact lyrics, is unacceptable as the correct
artist for T2.
