RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #368 (GOLQ368)
Congratulations to The EJ's & Co. and to the Village Idiots, who tied for first
with perfect scores.
Just behind was Barry Silk, who got all the regular songs, followed by Dale
Latimer & team, who missed just one regular song but got both tie-breakers.
A special shout-out to my sister & quiz-partner Bonnie, who missed this one due
to some medical problems. She expects to be back in the GOLQ saddle soon.
Each song has one or more audio links (quality and permanence not guaranteed).
As always, thanks to everyone who entered! The October 2017 quiz (GOLQ #369)
will be posted soon.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #368 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was eight years old when I fell in love
It seems like yesterday
Down the old mill road in a pretty house lived
Some folks not far from me
#01) Ames Brothers, The: "Pussy Cat" (1958/59) [17] {-} <187>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6mXi7hwH-4
She's been a little wallflower on the shelf
Standing by herself
Now she got the nerve to take the chance
#02) Bland, Billy: "Let The Little Girl Dance" (1960) [7] {11} <16><226>

Flowers have blooms
The ocean has waves
The sky has clouds
People have babes
#03) Campbell, Glen: "I Wanna Live" (1968) [36] {-} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQnSh6fwyag ("I Wanna Live")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzQQoUx1oOU ("Adiós", recorded 2013)
Glen's long career wound down following his Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2010.
His "Goodbye Tour" ended in late 2012; he then recorded his final album,
"Adiós," during the winter of 2012/13. The album was finally issued in
spring 2017, shortly before his death on 8/8/17 at 81. The second link is
the title song from that final album - his voice was still marvelous.
I didn't mean to start it
Ooh, I wish it was all just a dream
#04) The Drew-Vels: "Tell Him" (1964) [90] {n/c} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RtHvljyDZ4 (Drew-Vels, 1964)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoF663ZHbM0 (Patti Drew, 1967)
The group comprised the 3 Drew sisters (lead singer Patti, Lorraine, & Erma)
plus bass Carlton Black (who originally wrote the song as "Tell Her" for his
prior group, The Duvals). By 1967, Patti was a solo act, and she cut a new
version, also featuring Carlton, at a slower tempo and with a brass section
in lieu of her sisters. Either Drew-Vels or Patti Drew got full credit.
Like a bird on the wing
When he knows it's early spring
#05) Fireflies, The: "You Were Mine" (1959) [21] {-} <7><100><275>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jjtosoBpZU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd1zuaR_tu8
Lead singer Clem Curtis died 3/27/17 at 76. He left the group in 1968; his
successor, Colin Young, is on their other big hit, "Build Me Up Buttercup."
First, I'd put heaven by your side
Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walked, honey
And over your head would be the bluest sky
#07) Gaye, Marvin, & Tammi Terrell: "If I Could Build My Whole World Around You"
(1967/68) [10] {2} <144>

Don't bother crawlin'
It's all over now
No use in stallin'
#08) Grass Roots, The: "Where Were You When I Needed You"
(1966) [28] {-} <50><128>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8JlI2W-Bl4 (1966 single)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS5uRuXS0k0 (1967 LP remake, new lineup)
The band was a creation of songwriters P. F. Sloan & Steve Barri, for
producer Lou Adler's Dunhill Records. The first band they assembled, who
recorded this single, featured Willie Fulton on lead vocals. After a rift
with Sloan/Barri/Adler, the entire group was dismissed, and a different
lineup assumed the Grass Roots moniker. This latter group, featuring lead
vocalist/bassist Rob Grill, recorded the string of hits from '67 into the
early '70s. The Grill-led group re-did this song for the 1967 LP
"Let's Live for Today."
I give my heart to you
And as the years go by
It will be true
I'll always hold you near
Sure as the stars above
#09) Hamilton, George, IV: "Now And For Always" (1958) [25] {-} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suLA2OXvRhY
You got to put on the step-up hydraulic double dynamo reversible booster
You got to activate the decompression activator
And you got to put on the anti-magnetic degaussing system
#10) Jimenez, Jose: "The Astronaut (Parts 1 & 2)" (1961) [19] {-} <87>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1-vfFhKeJ8 ("The Astronaut")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGAm_7yRSCI (interview re: Jose's creation)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQq9PSTcXvQ (interview re: astronaut bit)
Bill Dana, who created the character in 1959 for a sketch on the
Steve Allen Show, died 6/15/17 at 92. Co-writer credit went to Don
Hinckley, who interviews Jose. In the second link, Dana describes
that first sketch, and what inspired Jose's creation. The third link
deals in particular with the astronaut routine.
You don't drive a big fine car
You don't look like a movie star
And on your money we won't get far
#11) Johnson, Marv: "You Got What It Takes" (1959/60) [10] {2} <33><262>

For I like to do the monkey too
And let's get together
#12) Lance, Major: "Hey Little Girl" (1963) [13] {12} <64><247>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2evF5IRc3I
And now it's over, I'm awake at last
Old heartaches and memories from the past
It was just another dream about my lost love
#13) Orbison, Roy: "Leah" (1962) [25] {-} <63><223>

Not even when you're glancing by
For I won't weaken
When we're speaking
#14) Platters, The: "You'll Never Never Know" (1956/57) [11] {9} <71>

Just got a job on the railroad
The work is hard and long
But I'm gonna build us a future
And show your daddy he's wrong
#15) Powers, Joey: "Midnight Mary" (1963/64) [10] {-} <25><134><287>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grcshC0lY6c

#16) Ruby and The Romantics: "When You're Young And In Love"
(1964) [48] {n/c} <64>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWQS_GKCg5M
Written by Van McCoy, who was active as a writer/producer/performer from
the '50s until his untimely death in 1979. He's mostly remembered today
for his 1975 disco hit, "The Hustle."
You were with a guy named Joe
Then all at once you said you had to go
I never even caught your name
#17) Shannon, Del: "Hey! Little Girl" (1961/62) [38] {-} <52><193>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzD-r9orGf4
Same title (ignoring punctuation) as song #12. GOLQ #64 (1994) featured a
similar "Hey Little Girl" mini-theme, using the Major Lance song above, plus
those by Dee Clark and by The Techniques. (Del's had been used earlier, and
GOLQ rules at that time did not allow song re-use.)
He'll never love you
The way that I love you
'Cause if he did, no no
He wouldn't make you cry
#18) Steam: "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" (1969/70) [1] {20} <59><134><312>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs3ZZkKnvng ("Na Na Hey Hey ...")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qH5ciK7duI ("It's The Magic In You Girl")
Co-writer and lead singer Gary DeCarlo died 6/28/17 at 75.
DeCarlo, Paul Leka, and Dale Frashuer wrote an early version called just
"Kiss Him Goodbye" in the early '60s when they were in a group together.
In 1968, DeCarlo recorded several Leka-produced songs for Mercury; the
following year, in need of B-sides, they resurrected this song, bringing in
old band-mate Frashuer to help record it. Leka played keyboards, while the
drums were spliced together from drum tracks from DeCarlo's 1968 recordings.
They realized that the song needed a chorus to flesh it out. Leka recalled:
"I started writing while I was sitting at the piano going 'na, na, na, na,
na, na, na, na' ... everything was 'na na' when you didn't have a lyric.
Gary added 'hey hey'." After creating the name "Steam" for the single, an
entirely different group was assembled for publicity pictures and touring.
The trio that recorded it never performed it live.
The intended A-side was "It's The Magic In You Girl" (second link above).
All you fellas, gather 'round me
And let me give you some good advice
What I'm gonna, gonna ask you now
You better think about it twice

Don't want your jewelry
Or money too
And nothin' else, nothin' else you said you would do
#20) Thomas, Carla: "I'll Bring It Home To You" (1962) [41] {9} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iHk0vsPqb4
Answer song to Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home To Me."
Have you searched through all your dreams?
Did you ever find a trace of me?
Even though you say we're through
That I'm not the one for you
#21) Vale, Jerry: "Have You Looked Into Your Heart" (1964/65) [24] {n/c} <->

#22) Vaughan, Sarah: "Experience Unnecessary" (1955) [14] {-} <300>

And listen, girls, when you give your heart away
You can easily be hurt
And the least little wrong he does
Always seems like dirt
#23) Wright, Betty: "Girls Can't Do What The Guys Do" (1968) [33] {15} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeXksSqhh3Y

"Clean Up Woman," is still actively recording & performing.
Just see me now
Makes it worth the time I've waited
She was all I need to make me see, oh yeah
I keep hopin' with all my might
Everything's gonna turn out right
#24) Young Rascals, The: "I've Been Lonely Too Long" (1967) [16] {33} <42><223>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdTaWOPC1A8 (1967 single)

My home's across the river
My home's across the water
Oh-oh, oh-oh, Hannah
#T2) Peter, Paul & Mary: "Bamboo" (1962) [-] {-} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiBShabXP4Y (Van Ronk, "River Come Down", 1961)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRio-G26y-I (PP&M, 1962)
Dave Van Ronk, the quintessential early-'60s Greenwich Village folkie, wrote
and first recorded this song in 1961, as "River Come Down." He said that
the song was intended primarily as a guitar exercise; as such, the simple
lyrics were hastily assembled solely to fit the song's meter.
PP&M recorded their version on their 1962 debut LP. When manager Albert
Grossman assembled the trio in 1961, he auditioned a number of prominent
folk singers including Van Ronk; Dave was rejected as having a style that
was too idiosyncratic to blend well with a group.
Either PP&M or Van Ronk got full credit as the artist.
