GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #341 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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7-QBw862zk
Cilla died 8/1/15 at 72. Discovered while a Cavern Club coat-checker, she
was naturally always linked with The Beatles. Here's a great quote from her
on that topic, from a 2011 interview: "When you saw the Beatles as a kid,
your first love was Paul, 'cause he had that lovely baby face. And then you
went on to John, because he was rugged and very feisty. And then you went
on to George, because he was just so lovely. And the last resort was Ringo.
But, mind you, have you seen him lately? Who'd have thought that Ringo
would turn out the cute one? He used to look like Yasser Arafat."
The original Italian version of the song ("Il Mio Mondo") was recorded in
1963 by co-writer Umberto Bindi. Carl Sigman later wrote English lyrics.

(Speedy's actual cartoon voice) and Robin Ward (the "la-la-la" vocals).

#15) The Nashville Teens: "Tobacco Road" (1964) [14] {n/c} <25><108><191><281>

#16) Ricky Nelson: "Hello Mary Lou" (1961) [9] {-} <28><205><287>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glsmcRSKlw4 (Johnny Duncan, 1960)

#17) The O'Kaysions: "Girl Watcher" (1968) [5] {6} <14><89><300>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITo12iulqu4 (Pat Parker, "Boy ...", 1962, ver1)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mKLLaxnm5A (Pat Parker, "Boy ...", 1962, ver2)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViHXSrr6ozE (G. Thompson, "Boy Watcher", 1968)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTIaRZYdGJo (O'Kaysions, 1968)
The song's history is somewhat murky. Ronald Killette, as "Buck Trail,"
wrote & allegedly recorded an early version of "Girl Watcher" around 1958.
Two 1962 recordings by Pat Parker ("Boy Watcher"; 1st two links above), with
composer credit to Buck Trail, bear little resemblance to the familiar
O'Kaysions track. Parker recorded it twice, for the Skyland and Heartbeat
labels ("ver1" and "ver2" links, respectively).
Ginger Thompson's 1968 "Boy Watcher" (also listing Trail as sole writer)
is very similar to the O'Kaysions arrangement (less the gender flip);
sources differ as to which of the '68 versions came first. Ginger sings the
given lines as "Hey you across the street / My my but you sure look sweet".
The O'Kaysions recording lists Buck Trail and (group member) Wayne Pittman
as composers. Their version was first released on North State, a small
North Carolina label. When ABC picked it up for national distribution, the
master tape could not be located; thus, they had to create a new master via
a "needle-drop" of a North State pressing.
If I can't reach up and know that you'll be there
Then this old world ain't spinnin' anywhere

#19) Tommy Roe: "Sheila" (1962) [1] {6} <15><253><306>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oECeELWJ6nA (1960 version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zofZ5tf7pf0 (1962 hit version)
Written by Roe, who first recorded the song in 1960. His 1962 remake
topped the charts.
Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
#20) Jimmy Soul: "If You Wanna Be Happy" (1963) [1] {1} <9><227>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZnNwZyaGf8 (Roaring Lion, 1934)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VzFWyzmwEw (Jimmy Soul, 1963)
The original 1934 calypso tune, by Roaring Lion (real name: Rafael DeLeon),
was titled "Ugly Woman."
Sunny afternoons that made me feel so warm inside

#21) Spanky and Our Gang: "Sunday Will Never Be The Same"
(1967) [9] {-} <10><173><291>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZQK-n_AwyE (CP&W, 1967)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy3kJt_tQrY (S&OG, 1967)
Written by Terry Cashman & Gene Pistilli. Their group (Cashman, Pistilli
and West) recorded the song first. Cashman, regarding Spanky's version,
noted: "They changed it, and they added the vocal, 'Ba-da-da-da-da,'
which was a great hook."
Exactly what you say
In that very special way
#22) The Turtles: "You Showed Me" (1969) [6] {-} <30><137><188>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX2qLbu45CI (Byrds, 1964 acoustic)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sHCEYjNYsI (Byrds, 1964 electric)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyJ46ATQN7Q (Turtles, 1969)
Written by Gene Clark and Jim (Roger) McGuinn of The Byrds. They recorded
several versions in 1964, just as the group was coalescing, but never
released it at the time. The Byrds' acoustic version was finally released
on the 1969 "Preflyte" LP, which compiled much of their early material.
She left you last night
And today you called me on the phone
Asked me if you could come over
