RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #307 (GOLQ307)
This is the first NAVAIRHEADS GOLQ in ages where no song was identified by
everyone, and no one achieved a maximum score of 500++, although several
teams tied at 500 with one tie breaker. Congratulations to the Village Idiots,
EJ's, Gypsy's Caravan, Vito and the Salutations, and Delphi Trivia Club, all
who tied for first by identifying all 25 songs and T1. Surprisingly, no one
identified T2, which was the flip side of the large hit, "In The Year 2525."
Hopefully, the stumpers were made a bit easier to identify once you realized
that the artists were arranged such that, exluding the letter "X" (since no
group beginning with that letter ever hit the charts), each of the remaining
25 letters of the alphabet were used once, in order. Only Team Teitlebaum
noted the "theme" in their entry.
Will McCorry recognized that the song appropriate to the Olympics is #18:
"Next Plane To London."
Thanks also to all of the entering teams for their participation.
Howard Teitelbaum has already posted GOLQ308.

#number) Artist: Title (year[s]) [peak position on Pop chart] {peak R&B}
[-] = did not make pop chart
{-} = did not make R&B chart

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Choose a date who would make a good mate
#01) Anka, Paul, George Hamilton IV, and Johnny Nash: "The Teen Commandments"
(1958/59) [29]
She makes me come alive
And makes me wanna drive
#02) Beach Boys, The: "Don't Worry Baby" (1964) [24] {-}
Don't forget me never
Listen to my plea
Please don't stop loving me
#03) Cathy Jean & The Roommates: "Please Love Me Forever" (1961) [#12]
Note: Jessica Raine comment, which made us smile: "Surely a contender
for Most Co-Dependent Song Of All Time--and there is some tough competition
for that title."
I've been all over this country
I've been half way 'round the world
I've been traveling so doggone much
That I haven't got a steady girl
#04) Darin, Bobby: "Somebody To Love" (1960) [45]
They said our love wasn't real
That it would soon be over
That's not the way that I feel
But I don't worry, honey
Let them say what they may
#05) Everly Brothers, The: "Stick with Me Baby" (1961) [41] {-}
Don't she know he's on a stage
It's not real, it's just a play
And he's playing the part
That is soon to break her heart
#06) Fleetwoods, The: "(He's) The Great Impostor" (1961) [30] {-}
Note: Delphi Trivia Club reported a discrepancy in the spelling of "impostor"
in the title of the 45 single and the album cut ("impostor vs imposter").
We elected to go with the 45 spelling, which we believe to be correct.
We've had bad times through the years
And though I made you cry
Think of me through tender tears
And try to close your eyes
And try to close your eyes
#07) Grass Roots, The: "Bella Linda" (1968/69) [28] {-}
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
#08) Highwaymen, The: "Cotton Fields" (1961/62) [13]
All you need is faith
To hear the diesel's hummin'
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
#09) Impressions, The: "People Get Ready" (1965) [14] {3}
And when I told her
Another girl had caught my eye
#10) Jay & the Americans: "She Cried" (1962) [5] {-}
His dreams have turned to dust
His dreams have turned to dust
#11) Kingston Trio, The: "Raspberries, Strawberries" (1959) [70] {-}
No other voice can say the words
My heart must hear to ever sing again
The words you used to whisper low
No other other love can ever bring again
#12) Lee, Brenda: "All Alone Am I" (1962) [3] {-}
Wake up in the morning with the sunshine in your eye
And the smell of flowers blooming fills the air
#13) Mercy: "Love (Can Make You Happy)" (1969) [2] {-}
Gravestones cheer the living, dear
They're no use to the dead
(No use to the dead)
#14) Nitty Gritty Dirt Band: "Buy For Me The Rain" (1967) [45] {-}
Well I met a pretty girl, she walkin' down the street
The kind of girlie that I'd like to meet
She had blonde hair and she sure looked fine
Tell me, darlin', will you be mine
#15) Original Casuals: "So Tough" (1958) [42] {6}
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
#16) Procol Harum: "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" (1967) [5] {22}
What to say
When he looks at me that way
Should I let him hold my hand
Tell him that I think he's grand
#17) Quaite, Christine: "Tell Me Mamma" (1964) [98] {-}
Said that over here I wasn't in
Down in Hollywood I couldn't find a friend
Who would help me get in
Or listen to me
#18) Rose Garden: "Next Plane To London" (1967) [17]
You're still my angel from above
Guess you'll always be my one and only
Only real love
#19) Scott, Jack: "What in the World's Come Over You" (1960) [5]
Well it started out way down south
Took a left turn and headed on out
It was movin' 'long very slow, now
'Cause it was travelin' by word of mouth
#20) Turtles, The: "The Story of Rock and Roll" (1968) [48] {-}
Take a cha-cha-cha-chance
#21) Underground Sunshine: "Birthday" (1969) [26] {-}
She had my nose open, that's no lie
Table's turned and now it's her turn to cry
#22) Valentinos, The: "It's All Over Now" (1964) [94] {94}
How you think I felt when you
You left me then you never said a word except that we're through
And you didn't fight it all the way
I don't care you just don't mean that much to me this way, yeah
#23) Wildweeds:"No Good To Cry" (1967) [88] {-}
I'll bet you dread to spend another lonely night with me
#24) Young, Faron: "Hello, Walls" (1961) [12] {-}
I made Tommy eat a bug
Broke my grandpa's shaving mug
#25) Zahnd, Ricky & The Blue Jeaners: "(I'm Gettin') Nuttin' For Christmas"
(1955) [21]
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
I woke up this morning,
I didn't feel so good
Then my baby told me,
I'll make you feel like you should
#T1) Moving Sidewalks: "99th Floor" (1967) [-] {-}
Note: This was a big hit in Houston, TX area. Was the group from which ZZ Top
was spurned. In that sense, both of our tie breaker artists began with--or
had ties to--the letter "Z," in keeping with the general theme of our quiz.
Gypsy Caravan description: "ancient crap by Billy Gibbons' band before ZZ Top."
Frosted lips and eye and hair
Chocolate chips and everywhere she goes
She takes her shadow and a warm hello
#T2) Zager and Evans: "Little Kids" (1969) [-] {-}
Note: This was the flip side of In The Year 2525, a nice melody and acoustic
guitar work.
