RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #396 (GOLQ396)
Eddie Hodges once proclaimed: "Girls, Girls, Girls were made to love".
Perhaps a bit sexist when viewed through today's goggles, but there
are about 200 or so GOLQ titles with the world "girl" in them. All of you
caught on to that as the "commonality" in the quiz. Incidentally, I
only noted about 10 songs with "boy" in the title. Probably reflects
the majority gender of who was writing the music.
Many of you commented that recognition of "girl/girls" in the title
increased song identification by a lot. That being said, congratulations
go out to EVERYBODY due to the extremely high scores that were achieved.
Differentiation in most cases was solely due to one or both of the
tie-breakers not being identified. I knew T2 was going to be
impossible, but I now must re-define "impossible" because about half
of you identified it, even though it was not released in the US.
Hope you had fun with this one. Howard has already posted GOLQ 397

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #396 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.

(the usual Chiffons' lead).

Team Teitelbaum: His first anglicizing of "Mastrangelo", before
settling on "Maestro."
I did not penalize anyone for the latter spelling. I have seen it
that way (albeit incorrectly) on many "best of" CD collections.

#13) Neon Philharmonic, The: "Morning Girl" (1969) [17] {-} <298>
Per Really Rockin': Song #4 in Tupper Saussy's 8-song "phonograph opera", "The
Moth Confesses". Song #8, "Morning Girl, Later", is a follow-up to this and
concludes the opera. Shaun Cassidy did a version of "Morning Girl, Later"
with altered lyrics in the 70s, but titled it "Morning Girl".
Here is a youtube link for the Neon Philharmonic's "Morning Girl, Later". It is
kind of a completion to the story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPF8qmaihFE
Posting the Shaun Cassidy version may be some kind of sacrilege for this group
but it is on YT if you want to hear it.

#T1) Bennett, Joe, and the Sparkletones: "Boys Do Cry" (1959) [105] {-}
An "almost made it" Bubbler, which I recall being played locally. Did a little
better in the Cashbox rankings at #95.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ396/GOLQ396-T2.mp3
#T2) Shaw, Sandie: "Tell The Boys" (1967) [-] {-}
Yes, this is the flip side to last month's tie-breaker. I was in Europe when
these songs were played in 1967 (Thank You Uncle Sam). Can't say that I thought
much of "Puppet On A String" but I did like this one. It was the runner-up
in the Eurovision song contest, and according to several sources it was
preferred by Sandie. When "Puppet" was released over here it had a different
"B" side: "I Had A Dream Last Night". As I said in the intro, I am awed
by the fact that so many of you identified it because it was not released
as a single (that I know of) in the US. It is/was available however on the
greatest hits CD compilation titled "Puppet On A String".
============================================================================
The following table ranks the songs from most recognized to least
recognized. The first column indicates the average number of points
scored on that song(total points divided by number of entrants).
For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual
20-point scale.
