GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #311 ANSWERS:
Answers are in the form:
#number) Artist: "Title" (chart year) [peak Pop] {peak R&B} <xxx>...<yyy>
where:
"peak Pop" = Peak position achieved on the weekly Billboard Pop chart.
"peak R&B" = Peak position on the weekly Billboard Rhythm & Blues chart.
(Billboard didn't publish an R&B chart between 11/30/63 and 1/23/65,
so recordings in that interval show peak R&B of {n/c} ("no chart").)
"xxx",...,"yyy" = prior GOLQ(s) in which the song appeared, if any.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somethin' told me that this wouldn't last
Now my heartache is in the past
I had to swallow all my pride
And admit to myself deep down inside
#01) Barbara Acklin: "Love Makes A Woman" (1968) [15] {3} <67>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDqvG9cK3es
Travel on the midnight road
Ramble where the winds don't go
Be aware of hidden dangers
#02) The Beau Brummels: "Don't Talk To Strangers" (1965) [52] {-} <138>

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9uZvrsAoyE ("Speedoo")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NrqA9MbzKI ("Was a Sunny Day")
[The group's lead singer, Earl "Speedoo" Carroll, died Nov. 25 at age 75.
Paul Simon's "Was a Sunny Day" (from the 1973 "There Goes Rhymin' Simon"
LP) has a nice nod to this song: "She called him Speedoo, but his
Christian name was Mr. Earl."]
"Why did you go away?"
The song is saying
#04) Richard Chamberlain: "Blue Guitar" (1963) [42] {-} <167>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccY1Fg_3oxc ("Blue Guitar")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPdSYxhacY8 ("They Long to Be Close to You")
[Both sides of this release were written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David.
The B-side is the original version of "They Long to Be Close to You,"
which became The Carpenters' first big hit in 1970 (as "(They Long to Be)
Close to You").]
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms
#05) Bobby Darin: "Dream Lover" (1959) [2] {4} <11><152>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVHAQX5sSaU (Bobby Darin)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc6ONyYpbT0 (Paris Sisters, 1964)
[Version by The Paris Sisters briefly & barely charted in 1964.]
If I ever saw a girl that I needed in this world
You are the one for me (one for me)
Let me hold you in my arms, girl, and thrill you with my charms
I'm sure you will see (you will see)
#06) The Delfonics: "La - La - Means I Love You" (1968) [4] {2} <6><137>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=375vwVZ7uAs
There was a girl
There was a boy
If they had met
They might have found a world of joy
#07) Tommy Edwards: "The Morning Side Of The Mountain" (1959) [27] {-} <3><237>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o633OnyFMzM (1951 version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3TZ73lLPcA (1959 version)
[One of three of his 1951-52 releases that he re-recorded, with updated
arrangements, in 1958-59.]
Come on Sally, come on Sue
All day long we're gonna boogaloo
But when the sweat begins to fill the air
#08) The Fantastic Johnny C: "Boogaloo Down Broadway"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PECZ4vSgdvU ("Look What Love Can Make You Do")
[The B-side, "Look What Love Can Make You Do," features new vocals by
Johnny over the same instrumental track as the A-side.]
That little chip of diamond on your hand
Ain't a fortune, babe
But you know it stands (for the love)
A love to try and bind us (such a love)
We just can't leave behind us
#09) The 4 Seasons Featuring the "sound" of Frankie Valli: "Let's Hang On!"
(1965/66) [3] {-} <15><172>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8782KIj_rKw
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn't fly
It was too late
#10) The Guess Who: "Undun" (1969/70) [22] {-} <123><206>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLMF5GM0Kt8
I've made up my mind, yeah
I'm tired of wasting all my precious time
You've got to be all mine, all mine
#11) Jimi Hendrix: "Foxey Lady" (1967/68) [67] {-} <156>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0KgjQEiME4
[Delphi Trivia Club noted that the original U.K. release of the "Are You
Experienced" LP spelled this song as "Foxy Lady." The subsequent LP and
single in the U.S./Canada (different cover art & song selection on the LP)
spelled it as "Foxey Lady."
Jimi would have turned 70 on Nov. 27.]
All through the caravan
She was dancing with all the men
Waiting for the rising sun
Everyone was having fun
#12) The Impressions: "Gypsy Woman" (1961/62) [20] {2} <29><116>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wd4tlX5t-Q
[Brian Hyland's version reached pop #3 in 1970/71; although he fits
alphabetically, this is after the GOLQ date range, so he's not
eligible as the artist here.]
Never thinking once about tomorrow
'Til tomorrow's been and gone and past
We'll pour the wine and fill the cup of joy and drink it
Drink as if it were the last
#13) Jack Jones: "Live For Life" (1967) [99] {-}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeEVZHvyNR0
[Song is from the French movie of the same name ("Vivre pour Vivre").]
Walkin' through the park
It wasn't quite dark
There was a man sittin' on a bench
#14) Major Lance: "Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um" (1964) [5] {n/c} <32><151>

And you're dancin' under starlit skies
Please don't let the stars get in your eyes

(1965) [2] {-} <36><97><230>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp_8WrlizA8 (Brian Hyland, 1963)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOP9hoXO5dY (Michelle Scotti, 1964)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIerAVD2gyo (Gary Lewis and The Playboys)
[First recorded by Brian Hyland in 1963, as the B-side of "I'm Afraid to
Go Home." Also, an uncharted version by Michelle Scotti in 1964 (with an
egregious "Noo Yawk" accent!).]
I can't believe your love is just a burning memory
#16) The Marcels: "Heartaches" (1961) [7] {19} <70><258>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JuVt1wd8yw (Guy Lombardo, 1931)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po52u_PX1GY (Somethin' Smith & Redheads, 1956)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_HJgacPEFk (Marcels)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uuvO7IcTfo (Patsy Cline, 1962)
[Originally a hit in 1931 for Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians (featuring
Carmen Lombardo's vocal). Song was then revived in 1947, with 4 charting
versions that year, including some re-releases of recordings from the '30s.
In the GOLQ era, charting versions by Somethin' Smith & The Readheads (1956)
and Patsy Cline (1962).]
Then I'd be guilty
And you'd be too
They'd lock us up together
Just us two
#17) Mickey and Sylvia: "There Oughta Be A Law" (1957) [47] {8} <58><204>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzUYu434_Kc
[Mickey "Guitar" Baker died on Nov. 27, at age 87. In addition to his duo
recordings with Sylvia (who died a year ago), he was a prolific session
guitarist and author of guitar instruction books. Also see song #25.]
Now, when your girl is gone and you're broke in two
#18) The Music Explosion: "Little Bit O' Soul" (1967) [2] {-} <38><174>

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMIydy3Tyuw (The Music Explosion)
[First recorded by The Little Darlings in 1965.]

I will love you as I did then
#19) The Newbeats: "Run, Baby Run (Back Into My Arms)"
(1965/66) [12] {-} <17><116>

The vision of your love-loveliness

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJcGi4-n_Yw ("Earth Angel")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCkC2kg2KlQ ("Hey Seņorita")
[Cleve Duncan, the lead singer on this iconic recording, died on Nov. 7,
at age 77 or 78. In its original release, the song was intended as the
B-side to "Hey Seņorita."]
Still searching for the special one
To whom I can give my love completely
And feel the lasting love so sweetly
#21) Diana Ross and The Supremes: "In And Out Of Love" (1967/68) [9] {16} <38>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1oW-c9SbEQ
Let me make your broken heart like new

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcfRzW8Zrsk

You were dancing with me
But I saw you flirting with her
Were all the pretty words you whispered to me
Meant for her, meant for her?
#23) The Sapphires: "Who Do You Love" (1964) [25] {n/c} <26>

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj9Um8T88KM

asserted that he provided not only the lead guitar, but also the
responding "Ike" vocals; not surprisingly, Ike Turner disputed this
account!]

I could be handy, mending a fuse

#T1) The Beatles: "When I'm Sixty-Four" (1967) [-] {-} <233>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xcn8fwepOfs (as released, in C#maj)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDt26gJYVB4 (as recorded, in Cmaj)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daPTq-EAp_Q (Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klM9WxH3ijQ ("solo" version - Andrew Lubman)
[In GOLQ #304, I used a song from Sgt. Pepper ("She's Leaving Home") in
which the stereo mix was slowed down a semi-tone from the original master,
but the mono was not (for reasons unclear).
In the case of "When I'm Sixty-Four" from that same album, mono & stereo
mixes are in the same key (C#maj), but both were sped up a semi-tone from
the master (Cmaj), at Paul's behest: "I wanted to appear younger, but that
was just to make it more rooty-tooty; just lift the key because it was
starting to sound turgid."
Mike Weaver noted that a cover by Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen charted in
the U.K. in 1967.
A talented multi-instrumentalist named Andrew Lubman posted his solo
version, in which he sings & plays all the instruments - quite impressive.
And I love his YouTube handle: "AllYouNeedIsLub"!]
You say you think I'm beautiful
You say you live for my touch
#T2) The Shirelles: "The Things I Want To Hear (Pretty Words)"
(1961) [107] {-} <67>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcM_Ae5xr1A
[B-side of "Baby It's You."]
