RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #278 (GOLQ278)
There was a five-way tie for first. Congratulations to The GenaTeam,
Will McCorry, The Village Idiots, The Gypsy's Caravan, and Delphi
Trivia Club who are this months co-champions.
My grand plan to have the first tiebreaker create separation at the
top didn't pan out as it was obviously a little too obscure.
The Coasters and Really Rockin' In Boston also had perfect 500 scores.
The EJ'S & Co. and the Don Albright, Frank Glaz team each missed
only one regular song.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to enter.
The median score was 478, the mean 451.
Howard Teitelbaum will be posting GOLQ279 soon.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #278 ANSWERS:
Answers are in the form:
#number) Artist: Title (year[s]) [peak position on Pop chart] {peak R&B}
[-] = did not make pop chart
{-} = did not make R&B chart
{F} = made R&B chart as a flip side
{n/c} = no Billboard R&B chart published during this recording's period
of peak popularity
=============================================================================
We will fly you and I
To the sky
Where we'll always stay
#01) Paul Anka: "Love Me Warm And Tender" (1962) [12] {-}
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there now
#02) The Beatles: "Day Tripper" (1965/66) [5] {-}
For loving you is something I've started
And don't know how to stop
#03) Bob Beckham: "Just As Much As Ever" (1959/60) [32] {-}
This song only reached #32, but somehow managed to
stay on the pop charts for twenty-one weeks.
The day I left
Her standing on her own
#04) The Bee Gees: "(The Lights Went Out In) Massachusetts" (1967) [11] {-}
Shine a little light on me
#05) Tony Bennett: "Firefly" (1958) [20] {-}
The girls whistle at me
But I don't look back
Cause everything I do
#06) Brook Benton: "For My Baby" (1961) [28] {2}
She'll find the note I left hangin'
On her door
#07) Glen Campbell: "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" (1967/68) [26] {-}
Come on come on come on now
#08) The Doors: "Touch Me" (1968/69) [3] {-}
And would I be sure
That this is love beyond compare
Darlin'
#09) Connie Francis: "If I Didn't Care" (1959) [22] {-}
How can I give you all the things I can
If you're tying both of my hands
#10) Aretha Franklin: "Ain't No Way" (1968) [16] {9}
As Die, Monster, Die! mentions, this is one of those
great soul ballads oldies radio never seems to play.
You would cry too
If it happened to you
#11) Lesley Gore: "It's My Party" (1963) [1] {1}
Die, Monster, Die! says Gore is one of the multiple stars
of "The T.A.M.I. Show", unveiled this month by PBS
as a pledge-break item.
I got to find me somebody to love
Someone to love all the time
Keep off of my mind
#12) Andy Kim: "Rainbow Ride" (1968/69) [49] {-}
You don't know how it makes me feel
#13) B.B. King: "Rock Me Baby" (1964) [34] {n/c}
I want a black leather jacket with buckskin shoes
Drive me a foreign car
I wanna go go go in stereo
#14) Lee and Paul: "The Chick" (1959) [100] {-}
This novelty song scored higher than expected. You
can find the full song on Youtube.
Well I know you heard of Suzie-Q
And I know you heard of the Chicken too
And I know you heard of the Cha-Cha too
#15) Jimmy McCracklin And his Band: "The Walk" (1958) [7] {5}
Or in New York
In gay Paris
Or even London town
#16) The McGuire Sisters:"Around The World In Eighty Days" (1957) [73] {-}
I chose not to deduct for "Around The World" as the title.
Of the many recorded versions, this seems to be the
prevalent one.
Your great big lonely eyes give you away
Hey hey hey
Hey hey heeyy
#17) Roy Orbison: "Twinkle Toes" (1966) [39] {-}
Never let me go
(Darling and tell me)
And tell me
#18) Peaches & Herb: "Close Your Eyes" (1967) [8] {4}
Boy I love that boy
Uh-uh-uh
#19) The Pixies Three: "Gee" (1964) [87] {n/c}
Vito & the Salutations reports in their team identifier:
"The usual, plus an original member of The Pixies Three,
personally known to one Vito, who confirmed our answer
to #19.".
My head is spinnin' (head is spinnin')
Goin' around and around (round and round) aha aha
My head is spinnin' aha aha
#20) Elvis Presley with The Jordanaires: "Witchcraft" (1963) [32] {-}
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
#21) Otis Redding: "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" (1968) [1] {1}
And I'm sure sold on him
#22) Lawrence Reynolds: "Jesus Is A Soul Man" (1969) [28] {-}
This was a tough one but I couldn't come up with a longer
snippet without giving the title away. You can find this
long forgotten country crossover hit on a Youtube
"Johnny Cash Show" medley.
And you make me cry
But if you leave me
I will surely die
#23) Neil Sedaka: "Oh! Carol" (1959/60) [9] {27}
Daylight and I wanna go home
#24) The Tarriers: "The Banana Boat Song" (1956/57) [4] {14}
He said things just don't happen like that
Up here in New York
Oh yes, oh yes he did, alright
#25) Joe Tex: "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show" (1965) [65] {20}
If you don't wanna
Oh no
If you don't wanna
To lose him
Well then you'd better
Oh yeah you'd better
#T1) The Jaynetts: "Keep An Eye On Her" (1963) [120] {-}
Follow-up single to their big hit "Sally, Go 'Round The Roses".
Your day will come
Your day alone
Years you'll know
And a life you'll grow
But a way to go
All on your own
#T2) Buffy Sainte-Marie: "It's My way" (1964) [-] {-}
Title track from her first LP. Sainte-Marie said at the time:
"I wrote this song for those young people who are falling
into the temptation of patterning their lives after mine.
Listen to the words. That's what it's about and no more.".
