RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #319 (GOLQ319)
I certainly hope that this quiz did not send anyone into therapy or drive
you to drink. Yes, those were the two intended themes: crazy/nutty/going ape,
etc. and adult libations (booze). Both themes were identified by EJ, RR, WM,
DC, and CO entrants. A couple of folks also suggested a heat/fire theme, based
on a few of the songs.
A tip of the oldtunes' hat is in order for EJ'S and Co., who racked up a
perfect score and got both tie breakers. Trailing close behind are Really
Rockin' and Will McCorry who lacked only T2, as did many others.
Thanks to everyone who participated.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #319 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But my yearning heart
Keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon
To another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely All the time
#01) Beckham, Bob: "Crazy Arms" (1959) [36] {-}
Now you may think I'm nutty
And telling you lies
But I'm going out now
To buy my school supplies
This semester's gonna be a gas
#02) Bonds, Gary (U.S.): "School Is In" (1961) [28] {-}
Now's your time burn your mind
You're falling far too far behind
Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no
You're gonna burn
#03) Brown, Arthur, The Crazy World Of: "Fire" (1968) [2] {-}
Well, man, kids don't make the movies
And they don't write the books
And they don't go out
And paint gay pictures
Of gangsters and crooks
They don't make the liquor
And they don't run the bars
And they don't make the laws
And they don't buy the cars
#04) Davis, Sammy Jr.: "Don't Blame The Children" (1963) [37] {-}
Perhaps it is stereotypical thinking on my part, but I find it odd
that Sammy Davis does not have any entries in the Whitburn R&B book,
but Skeeter Davis does!
Crazy little mama come knocking, knocking
#05) El Dorados, The: "At My Front Door" (1955/56) [17] {1}
Other versions exist: Dee Clark and (ouch) Pat Boone, but these are alpha-
betically eliminated. Song reached #1 in Cleveland, possibly due to the
lingering R&B influence of Alan Freed. Freed had gone to WINS in NY in 1954.
It takes a real good woman to know how to love a good man
It takes some hugging and kissing but most of all some understanding
And I, I got all of the hugging and kissing and understanding I want
#06) Gaye, Marvin: "I'm Crazy 'Bout My Baby" (1963) [77] {n/c}
Dr. Shmorba please, Who is going to perform this operation?
That mule, Old Rivers and me
#07) Goodman, Dickie: "Ben Crazy" (1962) [44] {-}
One entrant cited this as "Dickie Goodman & Dr. I. M. Ill". Whitburn does
not seem to credit it this way, but I know that it appears that way on the
"Diamond" 45, so I accepted it.
Late one night in old Joe's friendly barroom
Two men were standing drinking all alone
Thinking of the days when they were younger
Talking 'bout the women they had known
When there in the dim light of the tavern
A sweet young girl came softly to their side
#08) Greenwoods, The: "Please Don't Sell My Daddy No More Wine" (1966) [64] {-}
Oh, yes, my darling dear
Indeed, indeed, I do
Because I love, love
I love you, oh, so true
I've got those
#09) Hamilton, Bobby: "Crazy Eyes For You" (1958) [40] {-}
So quick as a wink, I took a drink
Swigged the glassfull down
Well first it seemed to hit me
Then it turned around and bit me
And everything went spinning all around
#10) Harris, Rolf: "Nick Teen And Al K. Hall" (1963) [95] {-}
And sad to relate that old Seth Davy died in nineteen hundred and four
The three wooden dolls in the dustbin were laid
His songs will be heard nevermore
Come day, go day
#11) Irish Rovers, The: "(The Puppet Song) Whiskey On A Sunday" (1968) [75] {-}
People won`t believe me
They`ll think that I`m just braggin`
But I could feel the way I do and still be on the wagon
#12) Kingston Trio, The: "Scotch And Soda" (1962) [81] {-}
A new, live version bubbled under (#124) in 1969.
You shake my nerves
And you rattle my brain
Too much love
Drives a man insane
#13) Lewis, Jerry Lee, and His Pumping Piano: "Great Balls Of Fire"
(1957/58) [2] {3}
I see you each morning
But you just walk past me
You don't even know that I exist
#14) Little Anthony and The Imperials: "Goin' Out Of My Head"
(1964/65) [6] {n/c}
Whenever he calls my name
Soft, slow, sweet and plain
I feel, (yeah, yeah) I feel that burning flame
Has high blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love`s supposed to be
#15) Martha & The Vandellas: "Heat Wave" (1963) [4] {1}
Not part of either theme; it was just hotter than heck when I was putting
the quiz together.
Like a fish loves the sea, like a birdy loves the tree,
I just gotta have you for me.
Mmmm,. You set my heart a-spinning like a whirly, twirly top
Well it's only the beginning and I pray that it never will stop
#16) Mitchell, Guy: "Crazy With Love" (1956) [56] {-}
Let me tell the story
I can tell it all
About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol
His daddy made the whiskey
Son, he drove the load
When his engine roared
#17) Mitchum, Robert; 'Thunder Road" (1958/1962) [62/65] {-}
Well, a hound dog ran a polecat into town
Brought him to the dance and laid him down
Someone hollered "skunk" and you can bet
All them country cats is runnin` yet
#18) Otis, Johnny, Show: "Crazy Country Hop" (1958) [87] {-}
There were no vows, no vows today
Her lover, love is far away
The chapel bells will never sing
Of her love or the wedding ring, wedding ring
Vows so tender never never said
#19) Outsiders, The: "Girl In Love" (1966) [21] {-}
Not part of the theme; just me paying my usual homage to a Cleveland group.
Baby, baby
Come on, sway me
Drive Me Crazy
#20) Rydell, Bobby: "The Cha-Cha-Cha" (1962) [10] {-}
Ohhhh honey you know That I'm gonna be true to you
I'll keep you in bananas And bring you cocoanuts too
And we'll settle down
In the nearest county zoo
#21) Sedaka, Neil: "I Go Ape" (1959) [42] {-}
While we're lying there we try to watch the television
Then you call us up and say you've had a slight collision
There goes the car
Beside that You've been arrested
So we've gotta get up and we've gotta get dressed
#22) Sherman, Allan: "Crazy Downtown" (1965) [40] {-}
She loved me so long and she loved me so hard
I finally passed out in her front yard
It wasn't wine that I had too much of
It was a double shot of my baby's love
#23) Swingin' Medallions, The: "Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love)" (1966) [17] {-}
She said, I was married to a man 40 years older than I was
Said, for a long time I was true and faithful to that one man
She said, last year he died and willed me a whole lotta money
And I know that that young man sittin' in my car just wants me for my money
She said, but if that's what it takes to keep the young, fine thing, OOH HO
He can get every single dime
Because it ain't nothin' an old man can do for me,
but show me which way a young man went
#24) Tex, Joe: "Buying A Book" (1969) [47] {10}
Another "orphan". I included it because the last line is probably my
favorite R&B lyric of all time.
Mama climbs the stairs hr days work is done
Everybody's leaving One by one
The lights are low The noise is through
At last I'm left Alone with you
Between kisses We can plan a home
One like this one That we can call our own
#25) Williams, Billy, Quartet: "A Crazy Little Palace" (That's My Home)
(1956) [49] {-}
When I go out
And I want a treat
I find me a band
With a solid beat
Take my chick and we dance about
Well they start rockin'
'fore we start to shout
#T1) Haley, Bill with Haley's Comets: Crazy Man Crazy (1953) [87] {-}
I don't want no soda, no bubble gum
You got what I want, just serve me some
Since my babys been gone everything is lost
I'm on this kick and I can't get off
#T2) Milburn, Amos and his Aladdin Chickenshackers:
One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer (1953) [-] {2}
I could not give credit for the somewhat inside-out title of "One Burbon,
One Scotch, One Beer" and/or John Lee Hooker as artist. It is a different
song and in any event, does not contain these lyrics.
