RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #367(GOLQ367)
Congratulations to the EJ's, Really Rockin' In Boston and
Village Idiots for scoring a perfect 500++ on this quiz.
Will McCorry finished strongly, missing only one tie-breaker.
A special "Hello" to Jamie & Carol Lubin and Ron Crandall. Both teams are
GOLQ legacies and was great to see them in the participant field again
Actually, everyone did well on what I thought would be a more difficult
than usual quiz. Essentially, there were no lyrics on a lyrics quiz.
While I thought I would be soundly pilloried for that, all entrants
had the forbearance not to point it out. I regard that as carte
blanche to do it again in the future (insert evil laugh here).
With my perceived level of difficulty in mind I mentioned the answer
distribution clue. Every answer in the regular portion of the quiz
represented a letter of the alphabet in order. The exception was "X",
for which there is no GOLQ eligible song in the "regular" portion of the quiz.
I am aware of a couple of tie-breaker possibilities, but they would be
waaaay too obscure to use (insert another evil laugh here).
The 4 song mini-theme was "Batman", chosen to note the passing of Adam West
in June of this year. Nearly everyone mentioned this and the alphabetic
sequencing.
To hear all 27 songs in their entirety go to:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0x-SSGH5jg&list=PLOM9kp_8LqisnE00JP5EQi7e5Bw2wjrbs
The usual Youtube caveats apply; versions, availability etc.
Songs may not be in exact order.
I hope everyone had fun with this one.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #367 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.

#01) Anthony, Ray: "Peter Gunn" (1959) [8] {12}
Theme from the TV series of the same name, starring the (very
Cary Grant-like) Craig Stevens. The show ran from 1958 to 1961.

#05)Evans, Paul, with The Curls: "Seven Little Girls Sitting In The Back Seat"
(1959/60) [9] {-} <8><136><260>
Everything you ever wanted to know about "The Curls" but were afraid to ask:
About fifteen years ago fellow QM Howard Teitelbaum noted that Whitburn
identified "The Curls" as Sue Singleton and Sue Terry and wanted to
know if they ever recorded any thing else. He went right to the source
and asked Paul Evans! This was Paul's response:
"Hi, and thanks for writing.
I believe that the two Susan's did cut one more record before going
their separate ways, possibly on Evergreen Records (now defunct).
They were part of the Ray Charles Singers, a chorale that did much
TV work like the Perry Como and the Jackie Gleason shows.
Sue and Sue were hired by the writers, as was I, to make a demo of
'Seven Little Girls'. The demo was released 'as is' on Guaranteed
Records under the name 'Paul Evans and the Curls', but Joe Carlton,
the owner and president of Guaranteed, decided that it was easier
to build a solo career for me rather than tying me to the two girls.
I know that Joe copyrighted the name, the "Curls" so I'm not sure how Sue
and Sue managed to record again - for a different label - under that name.
Anyway, I hope this info helps you out.
Paul Evans"
Howard recently updated this information
"I do have a couple of updates regarding The Curls. First, they actually
recorded two singles (not one) on Everest (not Evergreen):
"Why Didn't I Go"/"Imaginez Vous" and "Like a Waterfall"/"He's My Hero".
All are available on YouTube.
Here's a write-up I found about the duo; it contains the only publicity
photo of theirs I've ever run across. Sue Singleton is in the
front, Susan Terry in the rear:
http://whitedoowopcollector.blogspot.com/2009/10/curlsimaginez-vous.html
Sadly, as the Grim Reaper of GOLQ, I must report that I found an obit for
Sue Singleton, from 2008:
http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dailynews-sun/obituary.aspx?n=sue-singleton-love&pid=101713252&
I haven't been able to find anything about Susan Terry's whereabouts."
Thanks Howard!!!

#08) Hefti, Neal: "Batman Theme" (1966) [35] {-}
Holy GOLQ Batman! Theme from the Batman TV show starring the late Adam West.
The show ran from 1966 to 1968 and I admit was a guilty pleasure of mine.

#18) Rydell, Bobby: "The Cha-Cha-Cha" (1962) [10] {-} <30><319>
As Joel Whitburn points out, the melody and arrangement are
essentially the same as "Rinky Dink" for which author credit
goes to "D.Clowney". The author credit for this song is
to Kal Mann and Dave Appell. Frankly I think Mr. Clowney
would have had a legal case here; I have seen infringement
cases won for less similar sounding songs.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-19.mp3
#19) Smith, Whistling Jack: "I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman" (1967) [20] {-}
In proof that we live in bizarre times, I ran across a version of this
credited to Pat Boone!! (From the LP of the same name!!!) No lyrics, just
the whistling. Here is the Youtube URL:

http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-20.mp3
#20) Tiny Tim: "Great Balls Of Fire" (1969) [85] {-}
Sorry Jerry Lee; the devil made me do it.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-21.mp3
#21) Unifics, The: "Court Of Love" (1968) [25] {3} <75><190>
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-22.mp3
#22) Vito & The Salutations: "Unchained Melody" (1963) [66] {-} <86>
A special tip of the Oldtunes' hat to the long time players of the same name.

http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-T1.mp3
#T1) Diamonds: "Batman, Wolfman, Frankenstein Or Dracula" (1959) [-] {-}
Probably intended as a Halloween novelty record; it was released in October
of 1959.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ367/GOLQ367-T2.mp3
#T2) Adam West: "Miranda" (1966) [-] {-}
While obviously relating to "Batman" this appears to go out of its way to
avoid any copyright issue. The term "Batman" or any other related
character is not used. The "Boy Genius" voice is probably not that
of Burt Ward (no label credit). My guess is that the producers
wanted to avoid any royalty discussion with DC comics.
The flip side of this is a (surprisingly) not-too-bad ballad "You
Only See Her". It can be heard here:
