GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #329 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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's wrong to hide
Teardrops inside
When you're blue (so blue)
Oh, when you're in love (you're in love)
#01) The Angels: "Cry Baby Cry" (1962) [38] {-} <119>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykXbee6bWfs
After this, their 2nd charted hit, lead singer Linda Jansen departed for a
solo career. She was replaced by Peggy Santiglia, who sang lead on "My
Boyfriend's Back" and the group's subsequent recordings.
The EJ's noted that the label also credits "with Hutch Davie Orch.".
I know I should laugh
And call it a day
But I know I would cry
If you went away
#02) Joe Barry: "I'm A Fool To Care" (1961) [24] {15} <274>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wDGDbAJnx8 (Ted Daffan's Texans, 1940)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzjINqyets8 (Les Paul & Mary Ford, 1954)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57g5UdljQHg (Joe Barry, 1961)
Co-written by Ted Daffan & first recorded by his group in 1940. The first
hit rendition was by Les Paul and Mary Ford in 1954. Other GOLQ-era
charting versions were by Oscar Black (1961) and Ray Charles (1965).
I left my teardrops in that old lonely room
Left my broken heart back there too
#03) Brook Benton: "Hotel Happiness" (1962/63) [3] {2} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWSfBCqjAVw
The EJ's mentioned that the original label shows "Brook Benton with The
Merry Melody Singers, Orchestra conducted by Jerry Kennedy."
Where the birds sing of love
Seems a gift from up above
I met her one day (met her one day)
#04) The Blue Jays: "Lover's Island" (1961) [31] {-} <68>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiUduiYF7Sg
Will you dream of the moments I shared with you?
Moments before we two drifted apart
#05) The Chimes: "Once In Awhile" (1960/61) [11] {-} <10><193>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrJTxB_ljo0 (Tommy Dorsey & Orch., 1937)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJe0j00vYsc (Patti Page, 1952)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqmxbYtbbvw (Chimes, 1960)
Originally a hit in 1937/38 for Tommy Dorsey, with contemporaneous popular
versions by Horace Heidt and Louis Armstrong. All the 1930's versions give
the title as "Once in a While." Also a pop hit in 1952 for Patti Page.
I cried a tear
For nobody but you
I'll be a lonely one
If you should say we're through
#06) Dion and The Belmonts: "A Teenager In Love" (1959) [5] {-} <1><135><264>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvz2jScfboU (rough draft by Pomus & Shuman)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kw6w9CPTjw (Dion & Belmonts)
First link above is an early run-through by songwriters Doc Pomus & Mort
Shuman. Original working title was "It's Great to Be Young and in Love."
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be
#07) The Drifters: "Under The Boardwalk" (1964) [4] {n/c} <6><105>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPEqRMVnZNU (single version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyzCccndc2w (alternate "making love" version)
The morning of the 5/21/64 recording date, lead singer Rudy Lewis was
found to have died the previous night in his hotel room. Johnny Moore,
then in his second stint with the group, took over lead vocals; this was
daunting not only because of the shock of Lewis' death, but also because
there was no time to transpose the arrangement to a key better suited to
Moore's range. Despite those hardships, a masterpiece was created.
The chorus in the single release has the line "we'll be falling in love."
An alternate take from the session has it as "we'll be making love"; this
was deemed a bit too racy for airplay.
You're gonna be knowin'
The loneliest kind of lonely
It may be rough goin'
Just to do your thing's the hardest thing to do
#08) Mama Cass Elliot: "Make Your Own Kind of Music" (1969) [36] {-} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbSM02_1k34
Well, I know she love me so
Well, I know because my baby tell me so-o-o
#09) The Fiestas: "So Fine" (1959) [11] {3} <39><212>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-1oz-iF6DI (Sheiks, 1955)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3rWmfdt7ZY (Fiestas, 1959)
Written by Johnny Otis, and originally recorded by The Sheiks in 1955.
Everybody young and old
Learns how to rock and roll
Listen, here's somethin' new
Everybody sure can do
#10) The Flares: "Foot Stomping - Part 1" (1961) [25] {20} <22><227>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7LeI1k-Wbw (Parts 1 & 2)
The B-side (Part 2) is the instrumental portion of the song, less the
vocals. Artist for Part 2 is credited as "The Ramrocks" (presumably an
allusion to producer Buck Ram).
I said, I ain't got time to discuss the weather
Or how long it's gonna last
And I ain't got time to do no studying
Once I get out of class
#11) Marvin Gaye: "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby" (1969) [4] {1} <77><242>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c82XRirZgh0 (Temptations, 1966)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdkQRw3kXeE (Marvin Gaye, 1969)
Originally released in 1966 by the Temptations, as a track on their
"Gettin' Ready" LP.
We go here, we go there
We can go together most everywhere
Well, every time I hold your hand
It never ever works out the way that I planned
#12) Bill Haley and His Comets: "(You Hit The Wrong Note) Billy Goat"
(1957) [60] {-} <243>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ6XxQL4G-c
Franny Beecher, the group's lead guitarist from 1954 to 1962, died 2/24/14
at 92. He started in the jazz world, playing with Benny Goodman's band.
Franny could do a high-pitched childish voice - this was used as a gimmick
spoken opening in this song, as in the earlier "See You Later, Alligator."
Swell joints, everything classy
Nothing that's passe, only the best
Lush girls ogling and eying
Crying and sighing, this is success
What a great life it must seem
#13) Herman's Hermits: "East West" (1966/67) [27] {-} <90><155>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3QzwazfM9g
Written by Graham Gouldman, about the ordeals of constant touring.
Within my heart
I pray your answer's yes
I'll make your life
Full of happiness
#14) Etta James: "My Dearest Darling" (1960) [34] {5} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ0zhgmYIuY
Me fine little girl, she waits for me
Me catch a ship for cross the sea
#15) The Kingsmen: "Louie Louie" (1963/64,1966) [2,97] {n/c,-} <36><200>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iApNzdSnJw4 (Touzet, "El Loco Cha Cha", 1956)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipTvgnXtYtQ (Chuck Berry, "Havana Moon", 1956)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxedxkx88t0 (Richard Berry & Pharaohs, 1957)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb9JTI3TBRw (Rockin' Robin Roberts, 1960)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_a5gEwt9no (Paul Revere & Raiders, 1963)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vae_AkLb4Q (Kingsmen, 1963)
Written by Richard Berry, and first recorded by him in 1957. Berry named
2 songs as influences: "El Loco Cha Cha" by Rene Touzet (signature riff)
and "Havana Moon" by Chuck Berry (Caribbean setting/dialect). Others have
cited the 1940s chestnut "One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)," as
inspiring the theme of a guy pouring his heart out to a friendly bartender.
Rockin' Robin Roberts recorded a version in 1960, which was a regional hit
in the Pacific Northwest. Two Oregon groups - Paul Revere & The Raiders
and The Kingsmen - knew the song via Roberts' rendition and copied it
closely; both recorded versions at the same studio in 1963, a week apart.
The Kingsmen even parroted Robin's "let's give it to 'em right now!" shout.
Their version featured barely intelligible lyrics by bassist Jack Ely,
feeding rumors that the song contained numerous obscenities. This led to
a federal investigation and to the song being banned in various locales.
All this controversy naturally boosted the record's popularity.
A lot of people like to go on trips
Others stay at home and read the comic strips
But all I want to do is kiss your lips
#16) Bobby Lewis: "One Track Mind" (1961) [9] {8} <58><193>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGrXgl6cMqs
And even if time is passin' me by a lot
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got
#17) The Lovin' Spoonful: "Daydream" (1966) [2] {-} <57><173>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7u5SdjDSQQ
I'll be your slave for the rest of, of my days
Love you more in so, so many ways
Just to be with you
Thrills me through and through
#18) The Marvelettes: "Forever" (1963) [78] {24} <136>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AKh53aC7XY
Must I have sleepless nights and endless days?
Oh love, you took my heart and ran away
#19) Mickey and Sylvia: "Bewildered" (1958) [57] {-} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fvvuEjj4pM (Tommy Dorsey, 1938)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-8ii5L3G-Q (Red Miller Trio, 1948)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE5hxcAmNZc (Mickey and Sylvia, 1958)
A recycling of their "Love Is Strange" formula; in this case, applied to a
song that was first a hit in 1938 for Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra.
The song was also a 1948 R&B chart-topper by the Red Miller Trio.
I love your touch (thank you so much)
I love your eyes (mmm, that's very nice)
I love your chin (say it again)
#20) Esther & Abi Ofarim: "Cinderella Rockefella" (1968) [68] {-} <148>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NNJ5qttHks
Esther & Abi were an Israeli husband-and-wife team. Mason Williams (of
"Classical Gas" fame) co-wrote this novelty song, which invoked the style
of jazz-age music. It joined a spate of campy throwback songs in the
latter '60s: "Hello Hello," "Winchester Cathedral," etc.
A very old friend came by today
'Cause he was telling everyone in town
Of the love that he just found
#21) Elvis Presley: "(Marie's The Name) His Latest Flame"
(1961) [4] {-} <30><94><240>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWZPrFLiD1U (Mort Shuman demo)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NupAWDO6axE (Elvis)
First link is a demo version performed by Mort Shuman, who co-wrote the
song with Doc Pomus.
I'll be warm or cold
Do just what I'm told
I'll do anything for you
#22) James & Bobby Purify: "I'm Your Puppet" (1966) [6] {5} <8><92><244>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81YMi_gO6oY (James & Bobby Purify, 1966)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nnLE-aBoPQ (Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham, 1999)
Second link is a gorgeous 1999 performance by the song's composers,
Dan Penn (vocal & guitar) & Spooner Oldham (keyboards).
Then I made the usual stop
Coffee at the coffee shop
Friendly face nowhere in sight
#23) Frank Sinatra: "Same Old Saturday Night" (1955) [13] {-} <234>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJoo9rlaM4U
The EJ's noted that the original label lists "with Nelson Riddle and His
Orchestra."
When my way was dark and troubles were near
Your love provided the light so I could see, girl
Just knowing your love was near when times were bad
Kept the world from closing in on me, girl
#24) The Temptations: "You're My Everything" (1967) [6] {3} <41><100>

I was born in Little Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand-in-hand

It's not the things you do that really hurt me bad

#T1) The Paragons: "The Tide Is High" (1967) [-] {-} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn_sHOd55-Q (Paragons, 1967)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppYgrdJ0pWk (Blondie, 1980)
Written by John Holt & first recorded by his group, The Paragons, in 1967.
(These Paragons were a Jamaican ska band, no relation to the earlier U.S.
doo-wop group of that name.) Blondie had a #1 hit version in 1980/81; in
their version, Debbie Harry sings it as "... that tease and hurt me bad."
When I was a young man
I ran away from home
I went to join the circus
#T2) Biff Rose: "Molly" (1968) [-] {-} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_-A9rGLaYs

Denver in 1970 on his "Take Me to Tomorrow" album.
