RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #380 (GOLQ380)
Congratulations to the Delphi Trivia Club and DEC and Friends, who tied for
first, each just missing a tie-breaker. Other teams who came close were Village
Idiots, EJ's & Co., Mike Weaver and Will McCorry. Mike was the only one to
identify #T1. Most teams had a good idea of the theme, which actually was quite
broad, essentially songs of 'unhappy' expression or situations. That meant a lot
of 'break-up' songs, but I stretched it to include songs I wanted to use
sometime that might not have another theme to fit into. The average score was
368.3.
Thanks to everyone who entered. GOLQ #381 has been posted.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #380 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 wrote a song about her
How wrong could I be
Oh, well, she went and found another
She found another lover
She didn't even bother
To say goodbye to me
#01) Anka, Paul: "Remember Diana" (1963) [39] {-} <289>

No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin
I just couldn't tell you that guy was just a friend"
#02) Boone, Pat: "Moody River" (1961) [1] {-} <37><88><153><244>
So you're walking away, so you wanna call it a day
Think of how I'm trying to keep our love
To keep our love from dying, oh, if you should go
Though I hurt you, I still love you baby
And I, I, I let you down
I, I ran around
#03) Checkmates, Ltd.: "Love Is All I Have To Give" (1969) [65] {-} <->

I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together, to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
#04) Cole, Nat "King": "A Blossom Fell" (1955) [2] {-} <149>

Li-i-ike, like my heart would break
Now-ow you regret, mmm, your wedding day
Now-ow-ow you pay for your sad mistake
#05) Corsairs, The, featuring Jay "Bird" Uzzell: "Smoky Places" (1961/62) [12]

But he kicked out my teeth

I wonder why she left me
Why did she leave me
So all alone
So all alone
#07) Drifters, The: "There Goes My Baby" (1959) [2] {1} <19><119><231>
I tried and I tried (I tried and I tried)
Not to hurt you bad (not to hurt you bad)
I tried so hard (I tried so hard)
Oh not to give in (not to give in)
But I lost my head and I lost my heart
And I lost your love to him
#08) Finnegan, Larry: "Dear One" (1962) [11] {-} <54><186>
Now it begins, now that you're gone
Needles and pins, twilight till dawn
Watching that clock till you return
Lighting that torch and watching it burn
#09) Fisher, Miss Toni: "The Big Hurt" (1959/60) [3] {16} <30><122><283>
QM: Del Shannon also recorded this song.
And no one even cared
Now it's just a memory
It's just a thought
If something's sold then
Something's bought
Poor old Nick, he never sold
He wouldn't leave 'til he was told
#10) Four Jacks and A Jill: "Mister Nico" (1968) [96] {-} <148><232>
QM: Their second and last charted release, it told the sad tale of a shopkeeper
being evicted to "make way for concrete and steel", i.e. a newer building.
Here I am, all by myself
Watching him with someone else
And he doesn't even know I'm here
Wish I could hold back me tears, 'cause
#11) Gore, Lesley: "Look Of Love" (1964/65) [27] {n/c} <35><122><259>

Because there was no gold mine

Now all we have is each other
And a little memory to cling to)
#12) Houston, David, and Tammy Wynette: "My Elusive Dreams" (1967) [89] {-}

born earlier in the song.
Saddest thing in the whole wide world
See your baby with another girl
#13) Jaynetts, The: "Sally, Go 'Round The Roses" (1963) [2] {4} <12><133><289>
TA: There is an interesting version of this by Grace Slick and The Great Society
I thought we had a love so strong,
It would take a lifetime to break us apart, oh yeah
I found out today I was wrong,
And my reward was a broken heart, oh
#14) Knight, Gladys, & The Pips: "Letter Full Of Tears" (1961/62) [19] {3}
<78><164><301>
People all around but I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart
No use in holding other hands
For I'd be holding only emptiness
#15) Lee, Brenda: "All Alone Am I" (1962/63) [3] {-} <19><147><307>
QM: One of two artists who had a seemingly endless catalog to choose from for
this theme.
Spoken:
Your mother's here, standing right behind me
She never could resist looking over my shoulder as I write
Your leaving has been very difficult for her
A father they say, worries about his son but
For his daughter, he has dreams
#16) Linkletter, Art: "We Love You, Call Collect" (1969) [42] {-} <121>
QM: Art won the Grammy for Best Spoken Word Recording with this. The record was
released shortly after the death of his daughter, Diane, who had jumped out of a
6th floor window. While it was considered a suicide, Art believed it was due to
drug use and donated all royalties to battle the effects of drug abuse.
Well, I've been waiting ever since eight
Guess my baby's got another date
#17) Nelson, Ricky: "Stood Up" (1957/58) [2] {4} <21><136><316>
You called me on the telephone
And said "Now Suzie dear
You're being mighty silly
In believin' all you hear
You know I love you only
So Suzie save your breath"
But since my name was Cindy Lou
#18) Page, Patti: "Left Right Out Of Your Heart (Hi Lee Hi Lo Hi Lup Up Up)"

I go to places we used to go
But I know she'll never show
She hurt me so much inside
#19) Peter and Gordon: "I Go To Pieces" (1965) [9] {-} <1><108><274>
TA: Written by Del Shannon
She used to be my gi-ir-ir-ir-ir-ir-ir-irl
But now there's nothing left to say
She only wanted me for play
I learned my lesson fast
But now I know at last
#20) Pitney, Gene: "That Girl Belongs To Yesterday" (1964) [49] {n/c} <161><232>
QM: First charted song written by Jagger/Richards.
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your li-i-ips

{3} <97><215><310>
Well, he's a star now and he's gone for good
Livin' in a mansion in Hollywood
That movie queen, she stole my guy
When I pass the theater I have to cry
#22) Scott, Linda: "I Left My Heart In The Balcony" (1962) [74] {-} <126>
You persuaded me to love you,
And I did,
But instead of tenderness, I found heartache instead
Into your arms I fell, so unaware
Of the loneliness that was waiting there
#23) Supremes, The: "Love Is Here And Now You're Gone" (1967) [1] {1} <41><154>
The house that we built was once filled with laughter
But I changed that laughter to tears
And now I live in a world without sunshine
Oh how I wish you were here
#24) Wallace, Jerry: "Shutters And Boards" (1962) [24] {-} <134>
I'm so lonesome for you, it's a crime
Going to a movie only makes me sad
Parties make me feel as bad
When I'm not with you
#25) Warwick, Dionne: "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" (1966) [26]
{20} <160>
QM: Dusty Springfield also recorded a version of this song.
-------------
Tie-Breakers
-------------
Spoken: "Gee Cathy, I don't want to hurt ya
Oh, I had a lot of fun with you last summer
I know I should have told you, but well I've got a steady girl
She went away for the summer, and well, maybe I was a little lonesome
But you'll find another guy
Look, it was only a summer romance and summer's over now"
Oh, you're so heartless and cruel
But, I'll always love you, like a fool
#T1) Carroll, Cathy: "Every Leaf That Falls" (1961) [-] {-}
QM: Boston was kind to Cathy Carroll, this song was #9 in December, 1961 on
WHIL, my then hometown Top 40 station. She also had minor success with "Jimmy
Love" earlier that summer.
My friends all tell me,
"She'll be back, she'll be back, she'll be back, wait and see."
Uh-huh, I'll be here waiting till eternity
I cry, yes I cry, while she's not mine
And just think, just think what she said to me
She told me she would always walk the line
It hurts, and I know it shows
#T2) Shannon, Del: "That's The Way Love Is" (1964) [128] {-}
TA: This record charted in the top 30 in Detroit in March, 1964 at the height of
the Beatles craze, but didn't do much anywhere else.
QM: The other artist from the comment for #15.
In the 70s, an artist named Guy Peellaert produced a book called Rock Dreams. It
was a collection of paintings of rock personalities of the 50s-60s and how he
imagined them in real life situations, with text added by Nik Cohn. Del was
portrayed as a just-returning soldier arriving at his girl friend's house, where
up in a window, her silhouette was in the arms of another man. The paintings are
worth checking out, especially if the text is included, many of them are on
various websites.
