RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #390 (GOLQ390)
Congratulations to James White, the Delphi Trivia Club, Village Idiots, Mike
Weaver, Will McCorry, DEC & Friends, and Vito & The Salutations, all of whom
tied for first with perfect scores. Really Rockin' In Boston also identified
all the regular songs. James White was the first to submit a perfect score,
Will McCorry submitted the most complete and accurate summary of the four
events.
The theme was 50th-anniversary commemorations and the four events in the quiz
being remembered are:
- First moon landing. Several identified the trivia that each astronaut
brought their own customized mix-tape to listen to during the flight.
The tapes were provided by one Mickey Kapp. In particular, Buzz
Aldrin's tape can be heard in the background of the on-board audio of
the flight, the night before they landed. He was playing it while
working in the capsule. It included several of the songs in this quiz,
although some were by different artists. Vanity Fair December 2018 has
an excellent story on this, along with a link to the on-board audio
that night. Mickey sadly died on June 11th this year.
- Woodstock. Enough said.
- Altamont. This may have been tricky to identify because it is months
later than the other events and most Altamont performers were also at
Woodstock. The Rolling Stones are the only band in this quiz who played
solely at Altamont.
- Manson murders. Between its impending anniversary and its role in the
new Tarantino movie, there is a lot being posted right now, both about
the actual event and those peripheral to it. And there are many GOLQ
personalities who can be connected to this, both on the Manson and Tate
sides (see #04 below).
Most teams identified the general theme, if not all four events. There were
some votes for the Stonewall riots, another recent 50th-anniversary event of
note.
The songs themselves were not that hard to identify, as the average score was
451.4.
Thanks to everyone who entered. GOLQ #391 will soon be posted, if it has not
already.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #390 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.

Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #390
Recordings #01-25 were from 1958 through 1969
Due 5:00 p.m. EDT (GMT-4) on Wednesday, July 31, 2019
----------------------------------------------------------------
We are not afraid
Oh lord, not afraid
Oh lord, not afraid
Today
#01) Baez, Joan: "We Shall Overcome" (1963) [90] {-} <247>
QM: Woodstock. The lyrics are from her Woodstock performance.
When I cruise around
The other parts of the town
I got my decal in back
#02) Beach Boys, The: "Be True To Your School" (1963/64) [6] {27} <109><184>
QM: Manson. It all started when Dennis Wilson picked up some Manson family
hitchhikers. Eventually, the Beach Boys would record a Manson song (see #T1).
Dennis was also the one who introduced Manson to Terry Melcher, then living at
the Cielo Drive address.
Since Bruce Johnston (see #04) eventually became a Beach Boy, an early song
before he joined the group was chosen for the quiz.
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine
Within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
#03) Blood, Sweat & Tears: "Spinning Wheel" (1969) [2] {45} <136>
QM: Woodstock, Moon landing. This song was on the Buzz Aldrin mix tape,
although by Peggy Lee.
Drive-in movies every night
Stayin' out till half past one
Sleep in late and live it light now
'Cause
#04) Bruce and Terry: "Summer Means Fun" (1964) [72] {n/c} <142><233>
QM: Manson. Terry Melcher was a central figure in the Manson story. He was
first a recording artist (this, Rip Chords), then became a successful music
producer (Byrds, Paul Revere and Raiders). Terry was living at the Cielo Drive
address, along with Mark Lindsay, when he first met Manson. Terry also visited
Manson at the Spahn Ranch. He considered signing Manson to a record contract,
but declined. The rejection upset Charlie and influenced Terry to move to a new
address in Malibu. Sharon Tate then moved into the house.
The Cielo Drive house has connections to other GOLQ artists. In the many blogs
and articles now being posted about the house, names such as Jimi Hendrix,
Mamas & The Papas, and other Laurel Canyon artists may appear as visitors
there. Barbara Lewis (4! recent GOLQ appearances between quizzes 373-382) had
lunch there with Sharon and actress Joanna Pettet hours before the murders.
Even Johnny Cash has a connection. The song in his stunning end-of-life video,
"Hurt", was first recorded at that house by 90s artist Trent Reznor of Nine
Inch Nails, right before it was demolished and a new one with a new street
address was built in its place.
I am so afraid of dyin'
Before I dry the tears she's cryin'
Before I watch your sea birds flyin'
#05) Campbell, Glen: "Galveston" (1969) [4] {-} <88><168><333>
QM: Moon landing. From the Buzz Aldrin mix tape.
And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young
When I was quite young
She said "Lord, have mercy
On my wicked son"
#06) Canned Heat: "On The Road Again" (1968) [16] {-} <80><139>
QM: Woodstock.
And so I quit the police department
Got myself a steady job
#07) Cocker, Joe: "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" (1969/70) [30] {-}
<133>
QM: Woodstock. Joe did not perform this song at Woodstock.
She hides in an attic concealed on a shelf
Behind volumes of literature based on herself
And runs across the pages like some tiny elf
Knowing that it's hard to find
Stuff way back in her mind
#08) Country Joe and The Fish: "Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine" (1967) [95] {-}
<->
QM: Woodstock.
Jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw
Talk up in the White House
Talk up to your door
So much goin' on I just can't hear you
#09) Creedence Clearwater Revival: "Commotion" (1969) [30] {-} <210>
QM: Woodstock.
Sometimes it hurts so badly
I must cry out loud
I am lonely
#10) Crosby, Stills & Nash: "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" (1969) [21] {-} <49><262>
QM: Woodstock, Altamont. The song was sung at Woodstock but not at Altamont.
Gee, I feel just about ten feet tall
Havin' a ball
Guess you might call me a Pollyanna
#11) Day, Doris: "Everybody Loves A Lover" (1958) [6] {-} <78><233>
QM: Manson. Terry Melcher's mother, she has been mentioned as the biggest
influence on Terry moving out of the Cielo Drive house. This also allowed for
a song before 1960 to be included in the quiz.
And came back wearing his ring
I sat down and cried my eyes out
Now that was a foolish thing
#12) Gore, Lesley: "Judy's Turn To Cry" (1963) [5] {10} <51><107><306>
QM: Manson, Moon landing. This is the odd-ball entry. Quincy Jones discovered
and produced early Lesley Gore songs, including this one. Per Will McCorry, he
also produced Frank Sinatra's version of Fly Me To The Moon, which is the
quintessential Apollo 11 song. The song couldn't be used in this quiz however
due to re-use rules.
Quincy is also in the small group that claim they would have been at the house
that night, but something came up (Steve McQueen is another rumored to be in
this group).
Some identified this with another 50th year commemoration this summer, the
Stonewall Riots, due to the artist involved.
Walk in, it's around the back, honey
Half a mile from the railroad track
#13) Guthrie, Arlo: "Alice's Rock & Roll Restaurant" (1969) [97] {-} <102>
QM: Woodstock. The 45 version, released over a year after the original album
cut, is a totally different production. Arlo did not perform this song at
Woodstock.
No doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle
Like presidents, prime ministers and kings
So let us build them shelves
So they might fight among themselves
And leave us be, whose those who want to sing
#14) Hardin, Tim: "Simple Song Of Freedom" (1969) [50] {-} <182><257>
QM: Woodstock.
There must be some kind of way outta here
#15) Hendrix, Jimi, Experience, The: "All Along The Watchtower" (1968) [20] {-}
<104><214><264>
QM: Woodstock. Jimi did not perform this song at Woodstock.
In loyalty to their kind
They cannot tolerate our minds
In loyalty to our kind
We cannot tolerate their obstruction
#16) Jefferson Airplane: "Crown Of Creation" (1968) [64] {-} <180>
QM: Woodstock, Altamont. Lead singer Marty Balin was knocked unconscious by a
Hells Angel 'bodyguard' during their Altamont set. This song was not played at
Woodstock or Altamont.
Dawn has come at last
Twenty-five years, honey, just in one night, oh yeah
Well, I'm twenty-five years older now
So I know we can't be right
And I'm no better, baby
But I can't help you no more
#17) Joplin, Janis: "Kozmic Blues" (1969/70) [41] {-} <178><264>
QM: Woodstock.
Cars full of motors, painted green
Mouths full of chocolate-covered cream
Arms that can only lift a spoon
#18) King, Jonathan: "Everyone's Gone To The Moon" (1965) [17] {-}
<8><108><162><308>
QM: Moon landing. Besides to give a hint that one of the events was the moon
landing, this was included and played on one of the other astronaut's mix-
tapes. It was not played as part of Buzz Aldrin's tape. King would later end up
going, not to the moon, but to prison for past assaults against schoolboys.
All I did was talk about you
Hear your name and I'd start to cry
There's just no getting over you
#19) Love: "My Little Red Book" (1966) [52] {-} <114><176><285>
QM: Manson. Two connections here. In one of this group's early incarnations as
the Grass Roots, future Manson member Bobby 'Cupid' Beausoleil was a guitarist.
When they changed their name to Love, Bobby claimed his nickname influenced the
choice. Arthur Lee replaced Bobby with ex-Byrds roadie Bryan MacLean around
this time, possibly because Bobby was too young to legally play in some clubs.
Bryan was friendly with some of the Tate house members. He would later claim he
was planning to be there that night, but changed his mind. Bobby Beausoleil was
arrested two nights before those murders for another Manson family murder and
thus couldn't be there, either. In another universe (or alternate Tarantino
movie), two Love guitarists might have bumped into each other at the house that
night, except one was there to murder the other.
This group also declined an invitation to Woodstock.
And if we're victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light
#20) Rush, Merrilee, & The Turnabouts: "Angel Of The Morning" (1968) [7] {-}
<11><144><292>
QM: Moon landing. This song was on the Aldrin mixtape, but by Bettye Swann.
Hypnotized me there that day
I came to play in my usual way, hey
Floating along with a whimsical twinkling
In her strange green eyes
Linger with me, she said, 'Yes!'
And oh the time did fly
#21) Sebastian, John: "She's A Lady" (1969) [84] {-} <280>
QM: Woodstock. Not expected to perform there, but took the stage when other
bands were late arriving.
I am no better and neither are you
We are the same whatever we do
#22) Sly & The Family Stone: "Everyday People" (1968/69) [1] {1} <82><182><257>
QM: Woodstock, Moon landing. Like #20, this song was on the Aldrin mixtape,
but by Peggy Lee.
A young girl in Calcutta
Barely eight years old
The flies that swarm the marketplace
Will see she don't get old
Don't you know she heard it
On that July afternoon
#23) Stewart, John: "Armstrong" (1969) [74] {-} <240><295>
QM: Moon landing. This was released months after the moon landing as a tribute
to Armstrong and was included in the quiz to give a hint about the event. John
also had a song on the Aldrin mix-tape, "Mother Country", from his then most
recent album. The song is a somewhat grand production that really stands out
from the other songs on the tape.
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person
#24) Streisand, Barbra: "People" (1964) [5] {n/c} <121><256>
QM: Moon landing. Part of the Aldrin mix-tape.
Why don't you all f-fade away
And don't try to dig what we all s-s-s-say
#25) Who, The: "My Generation" (1966) [74] {-} <39><115>
QM: Woodstock.
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
I'm your kind, oh your kind and I can see
You walk on, walk on
I love you, pretty girl
My life is yours
Ah you can have my world
Never had a lesson, I ever learned
But I know, we all get our turn
An' I love you
Never learn not to love you
#T1) Manson, Charles: "Cease To Exist" (1968) [-] {-} <->
QM: Manson (Capt. Obvious here). If you play this without knowing the artist,
you may find it to be a pretty good song. This song was re-worked by the Beach
Boys and included on the 20/20 album as Never Learn Not To Love. It was also
the B-side to Bluebirds Over The Mountain. This backstory behind this song and
how it affected the Manson-Melcher-Beach Boys relationship has been noted as a
possible flashpoint that eventually resulted in the selection of the Cielo
Drive address for the murders that night.
Yeh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost your way
#T2) Rolling Stones, The: "Gimme Shelter" (1969) [-] {-} <->
QM: Altamont. Allegedly invited to Woodstock, but had other projects going on.
