RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #395 (GOLQ395)
Congratulations to Really Rockin' In Boston, James White, Virve Harkonen,
Village Idiots, the EJ Team, the Delphi Trivia Club, and Will McCorry, all of
whom tied for first with perfect scores. Really Rockin' was the first to submit
a perfect score.
Those who figured out the theme, songs that were #1 in Great Britain, fared
better than those that didn't (go figure). The average score was 397.3.
Thanks to everyone who entered. GOLQ #396 has been posted.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #395 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.

Oh mother, tell your children
#01) Animals, The: "The House Of The Rising Sun" (1964) [1] {n/c} <7><123><232>

And very soon, I know
I was a fool to let my baby go
#02) Baldry, Long John: "Let The Heartaches Begin" (1968) [88] {-} <289>

And the angels ask me
To recall
The thrill of it all

Mountain streams
Swelled with pride
Gone the dry river bed
Gone the dust from the valley

I've searched and I've searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind

Gettin' soakin' wet
Torturing my heart
By trying to forget
#18) Ray, Johnnie: "Just Walking In The Rain" (1956/57) [2] {-} <19><218><276>

I shouldn't have gone away
So I'm comin' back today
#21) Shapiro, Helen: "Walkin' Back To Happiness" (1961) [100] {-} <89><148>
QM: This song has a place in my heart as it was on the very first GOLQ I
entered almost twenty-four years ago now. There were 40 entries that quiz and I
noticed 10 of the 15 that entered this quiz also submitted entries on that
quiz.
And you know it's right
And you know that it's right
#22) Thunderclap Newman: "Something In The Air" (1969) [37] {-} <25><170>
People follow like sheep
Even though there is
Nowhere to go
#23) Tremeloes, The: "Silence Is Golden" (1967) [11] {-} <4><169><328>
So, run to him
Before you start crying too

You thought you was a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
You can't come back, be the first in line, oh yeah
You're obsolete, my baby
#T1) Farlowe, Chris: "Out Of Time" (1966) [-] {-}
QM: A long overdue GOLQ shout-out to Chris, the British rock, blues and soul
singer who seemingly sang every 60s song and with every 60s act. He has still
been performing the last few years, with the likes of Van Morrison and Georgie
Fame. This song was featured in its entirety in the recent Tarantino movie Once
Upon A Time..In Hollywood, with essentially a hybrid of the Stones and Farlowe
versions (Mick's voice, music from Chris's recording).
Love is just like a merry-go-round
With all the fun of the fair
One day, I'm feeling down on the ground
Then I'm up in the air
Are you leading me on?
Tomorrow, will you be gone?
#T2) Shaw, Sandie: "Puppet On A String" (1967) [-] {-}
QM: It was one of five songs Sandie presented on the Rolf Harris show as
prospective United Kingdom Eurovision Song Contest entries for 1967 and was
chosen as that year's entry. Sandie was very popular throughout Europe from
recording many of her hit songs in several European languages and easily won
the contest that year with this song.
