RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #360 (GOLQ360)
Congratulations to Delphi Trivia Club, The EJ'S & Co., and Village Idiots, who
finished in a 3-way tie for first with perfect scores.
Just behind, missing only the tiebreakers, was Will McCorry. DEC & Friends also
excelled, missing only the artist for one song.
I try to pay tribute to GOLQ artists upon their passing, but we fans are also
subject to time taking its toll. Team Asia has participated in the GOLQ series
on-and-off for the last 20 years; team member Mitch Herczeg informed me with his
entry that his quiz partner, Barry Chamish, passed away in August 2016. See
Barry's Wikipedia page for more info on his interesting life.
Each song has one or more audio links (quality and permanence not guaranteed).
As always, thanks to everyone who entered! The February 2017 quiz (GOLQ #361)
will be posted soon.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #360 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.

When the star performed she screamed and yelled "hooray"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1Fv2Jgm-fg

The song was also a Top-20 hit at the same time for Jim Reeves.
DEC & Friends mentioned a version by Ronnie Milsap (1974).
Reasoned verse, some prose or rhyme
Lose themselves in other times
And waiting hopes cast silent spells
That speak in clouded clues
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you

irreverently, I included songs by her ex (Eddie Fisher), and *his* ex

Feeling weepy as a willow
When my room is cold and still, oh

I loved you in the morning
Our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow

#T1) Cohen, Leonard: "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye" (1967) [-] {-} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQk3wyFG6Fg (Leonard Cohen, 1967)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce8XYyacnGo (Judy Collins, 1967)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVJImYNGqwk (Judy & Leonard live, 1976)
Written by this multi-faceted artist, who died 11/7/16 at 82. Judy Collins
released it first on her "Wildflowers" LP; his version followed soon
thereafter, on his debut LP, "Songs of Leonard Cohen." Roberta Flack also
had a noteworthy 1969 version. Any of these artists got full credit.
We might as well be apart
It hardly matters, we sleep separately
And drop a smile passin' in the hall
But there's no laughs left, 'cause we laughed 'em all
#T2) Simon & Garfunkel: "Overs" (1968) [-] {-} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uIrXfVtXbI
Paul Simon was approached in 1967 by director Mike Nichols to write a few
songs for his upcoming movie, "The Graduate." After reading the script,
Paul came up with two: "Overs" (depicting the Robinsons' loveless marriage),
and "Punky's Dilemma" (Benjamin fantasizing while floating in the pool).
Nichols rejected both, so S&G demo'd an incomplete & unrelated song Paul was
working on, whose placeholder title had been "Mrs. Roosevelt." They pitched
it to him as "Mrs. Robinson," to correspond with the character, and Nichols
loved it. All three songs appear on S&G's 1968 "Bookends" LP (although the
"Mrs. Robinson" on the LP differs from the earlier movie version).
_____________________________________________________________________________
The following table ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized.
