RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #384 (GOLQ384)
"Congratulations" to Really Rockin' In Boston and the Delphi Trivia Club, the
only two teams to submit a perfect score AND identify the bonus tie-breaker
theme: The first letter in the title of each song spells out: "Elvis Is
Eighty Four on Jan Eight." Amazingly, Rich Ardini from Really Rockin' emailed
me the correct theme within hours after the quiz was published. I thought I
had come up with an innovative theme, but while I was researching and verifying
the eligibility of my songs, I inadvertently discovered that Barry Silk had
created a similar Elvis theme in 1996 for GOLQ 90, three years before I
discovered the GOLQ on the Internet. Congratulations also to The EJ's & Co.
and Village Idiots, both having perfect scores, and to Vito & the Salutations
who came very close to a perfect score.
As always, thanks to everyone who entered! Rich Ardini has posted GOLQ 385.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #384 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.

Had me a girl

Hail, hail rock and roll
Deliver me from the days of old

And these arms will stay this way
Til you return to them some day

Your smiles, your frowns
Your ups, your downs
Are second nature to me now

Up at Cody's camp I spent my days off
With flat car riders and cross tie walkers

Raise your hand up high
High up in the air
When I touch your fingers
Don't you be no square

And her little brother Max
Bought a new tenor sax

#20) Price, Lloyd: "Just Because" (1957) [29] {3} <114>
Note: Song charted before the name Lloyd Price became well-known for Stagger
Lee in 1959. I was totally unfamiliar with the song until I heard and liked
John Lennon's nostalgic tribute cover of it on his 1975 "Rock 'N Roll" album,
and researched his source. John Lennon: "There's two basses in this; I hope
you appreciate it." "This is Dr. Winston O'Boogie...." "I'd like to say hi to
Ringo, Paul, and George.... How are you?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkDXqzBubkk
It is the evening of the day

You got a thing about you
I just can't live without you
I really want you
#23) Turtles, The: "Elenore" (1968) [6] {-} <13><124>
Each tear I dried for you
The closer our lives grew
I fell in love, it's true
And you say you love me, too
#24) Wonder, Stevie: "I'm Wondering" (1967) [12] {4} <209>
When I woke up this mornin'
She was gone
Solid gone
#25) Youngbloods, The: "Grizzly Bear" (1966) [62] {-} <110>
------------
Tie-Breakers
-------------
Here comes that old ache within
The story of our life begins
They're playing it again
#T1) Orbison, Roy: "Here Comes That Song Again" (1960) [-] {-}
Note: Flip side of his #2 charted song, "Only The Lonely"
One by one the stars appear
They twinkle in your eyes
Who'd believe that we'd be here
So near to paradise
#T2) Presley, Elvis with the Jordanaires: "Tonight Is So Right For Love" (1960)
[-] {-}
Note: Opening number on his G.I. Blues soundtrack album.
Bonus: Here's a recently posted YouTube video of the earliest known live
performance of Elvis, in August 1955, about six months before he first hit the
Billboard charts with "Heartbreak Hotel." Video starts with an interesting
story about how the video was discovered and preserved. Actual performance
starts about the 18 minute mark...no audio, just video of Elvis at age 20,
playing for a crowd of about 25
