RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #397 (GOLQ397)
Before moving on to the results, I want to recognize a milestone, noted by GOLQ
founder Rick Schubert. Rick observed that as of GOLQ396, the Used List showed
that we've used more than 5000 unique regular (non-tiebreaker) songs!
Congratulations to Delphi Trivia Club, NAVAIRHEADS, and Village Idiots, who
finished in a 3-way tie for first place. Just behind, by a single tie-breaker,
was The EJ'S & Co. team. Song #T1 proved to be a complete stumper, with every
other song being identified by at least 5 entrants.
Each song has one or more audio links (quality and permanence not guaranteed).
As always, thanks to everyone who entered! The March 2020 quiz (GOLQ #398)
by Regina Litman has already been posted.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #397 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Show me I'm wrong
Hurt me sometime
But someday I'll treat you real fine
#01) Animals, The: "It's My Life" (1965/66) [23] {-} <35><225><338>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk1Zrda5JXI (Billy Carr demo version)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RnYpSXAvGI (Animals)
Written by Carl D'Errico (music) and Roger Atkins (lyrics). In an
interview, Atkins noted that he wrote the chorus as:
"Sure, I'll do wrong, hurt you sometime"
He added: "But Eric sings, 'Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime' which never
made any sense to me. Everyone who's recorded it sings the wrong chorus."
The demo version (first link) illustrates Atkins' original wording.
Down the way
Where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
#02) Belafonte, Harry: "Jamaica Farewell" (1956/57) [14] {-} <126><223><294>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmIQSSwqKEc
Irving Burgie (known as Lord Burgess), great Calypso singer & songwriter,
died 11/29/19 at 95. He wrote many songs for Harry Belafonte, including
"Jamaica Farewell" and the lyrics to "Banana Boat (Day-O)."
Now you're on my wavelength
And I'm readin' you just fine
Don't cut outta here
'Til we get on cloud nine
#03) Byrnes, Edward, and Connie Stevens: "Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb)"
(1959) [4] {30} <20><249><309>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJVciRRKyAM
Edd "Kookie" Byrnes died 1/8/20 at 87.
You'll look at me
And you will know our love was
Meant to be
#04) Chiffons, The: "One Fine Day" (1963) [5] {6} <14><95><342>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paBz4LMyf-w
In an interview, lead singer Judy Craig mentioned that Goffin/King had
written the song for Little Eva, so the arrangement was in Eva's preferred
(higher) key. Judy noted that she found singing it a bit challenging for
that reason, modestly noting that she "got through it."
In the hall, they got a rockin' band
Come on, baby, let me take your hand
#05) Comstock, Bobby: "Let's Stomp" (1963) [57] {-} <->
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTIkelZNjms
Died 1/9/20 at 78.
Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you
She didn't have the time to wait in the queue
She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle
#06) Cream: "Badge" (1969) [60] {-} <102><221>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSpW6MePb10
Ginger Baker, the group's drummer, died 10/6/19 at 80.
Co-written by Eric Clapton and George Harrison. Per George: "I helped
Eric write 'Badge', you know. Each of them had to come up with a song for
that 'Goodbye' Cream album and Eric didn't have his written. We were
working across from each other and I was writing the lyrics down and we
came to the middle part so I wrote 'Bridge.' Eric read it upside down and
cracked up laughing - 'What's BADGE?' he said. After that, Ringo walked in
drunk and gave us that line about the swans living in the park."
It happened the other night
We argued but we, we didn't fight
He grabbed his hat and slammed the door
And he hasn't been back no more
#07) Drew, Patti: "Tell Him" (1967) [85] {22} <279>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RtHvljyDZ4 (Drew-Vels, 1964)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoF663ZHbM0 (Patti Drew, 1967)
Written by Carlton Black, who died 10/2/19 at 75. He originally wrote it as
"Tell Her" for his group, The Duvals (see song #T1), but they apparently
never recorded it. The 1964 Drew-Vels version (GOLQ368) comprised the
3 Drew sisters plus Black singing bass; he reprised his role in Patti's
1967 solo version. I accepted either artist name, although the earlier
version doesn't have the doubled "we" in the 2nd line (Mike Weaver gets
kudos for mentioning this in his entry).
Oh, hold me close, my true love
Kiss me tenderly
There is only one love
One love for me
#08) Everly Brothers, The: "Always It's You" (1960) [56] {-} <182><257>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpOTMaUREpg
Written by Felice & Boudleaux Bryant; B-side of "Cathy's Clown."
There's just something about you I simply adore
This is what keeps us together and makes my love for you grow
Oh, I found more joy in you, my darling
Than I could ever find in any other girl
#09) Fantastic Four, The: "I Love You Madly" (1968) [56] {12} <->
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZajwA1zTJY
I've been away on a business trip
Travelin' all around
I got a gal and her name is Sue
Prettiest gal in town
#10) Kingston Trio, The: "A Worried Man" (1959) [20] {-} <40><296>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcvWrxrNk4k (Carter Family, 1930)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICvM0elbX8w (Kingston Trio, 1959)
Bob Shane, the last of the group's original members, died 1/26/20 at 85.
The song's melody and chorus (but not the verses) are shared with the
1930 "Worried Man Blues" by the Carter Family.
May good fortune find your doorway
May the bluebirds sing your song
May no trouble travel your way
May no worry stay too long
#11) McGuire Sisters, The: "May You Always" (1959) [11] {-} <144>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zvf4rHR0UA (Mc Guire Sisters, 1959)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo5fTPeOrpc (Harry Harrison, 1965)
Harry Harrison, a beloved New York DJ from the '60s thru '00s, died 1/28/20
at 89. He recorded his own spoken-word version of this song in 1965, over
the melody of "Auld Lang Syne."
I hear tell you're doin' well
Good things have come to you
I wish I had your happiness
#12) Miller, Roger: "Do-Wacka-Do" (1964/65) [31] {n/c} <->
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49GkEDVSoAY
Take off your shoes and pat your feet
We're doin' a dance that can't be beat
#13) Parker, Robert: "Barefootin'" (1966) [7] {2} <18><155>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdFI3gNC5Fs
Died 1/19/20 at 89. Although most famous as an R&B singer, he also had a
long career as a session sax player for many notable New Orleans artists
(Fats Domino, Irma Thomas, etc.).
And I can guess
How they still got married and had twins
They came in tins
#14) Peter and Gordon: "Knight In Rusty Armour" (1966/67) [15] {-} <45><252>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FafxdYe-hb4
The U.S. release on Capitol retained the British spelling on the label,
but the picture sleeve Americanized it to "Armor."
I said, my baby loves me so
He really lets me know
#15) Platters, The: "He's Mine" (1957) [16] {5} <113>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvI03JDni4k
A rare lead by Zola Taylor. Nominally the B-side of "I'm Sorry," although
both songs peaked in the Top-20 on the pop and R&B charts.
It's your chance to wake up and plan
Another brand new day
Either way
#16) Rascals, The: "A Beautiful Morning" (1968) [3] {36} <12><252>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BvzG4IRTZA
Do I need your arms around me?
Do I live my life for you?
Do I always feel so warm each time
I look in your eyes of blue?
#17) Ronettes, The: "Do I Love You?" (1964) [34] {n/c} <70><279>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJozPXdVrK4
From Mexico to the Philippines
Well, I've drunk with peasants and I've dined with kings
But I ain't never found a single clue
#18) Sam The Sham and The Pharaohs: "Ring Dang Doo" (1965) [33] {-} <183>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmawuU4Psb4
Just a little boy standing in the rain
The gentle rain that falls for years
And the grass is gone
The boy disappears
#19) Searchers, The: "What Have They Done To The Rain" (1965) [29] {-} <139>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7Qjd303Nms
Written by Malvina Reynolds in 1962 (as "Rain Song") to protest atmospheric
nuclear weapon testing (which was ended by 1963's Limited Test Ban Treaty).
Did I do wrong by coming home?
Have you found somebody new?
I've called you twice
No answer at all by telephone
#20) Shep and The Limelites: "What Did Daddy Do" (1962) [94] {-} <->
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5dZtkhLb2g
A rather downbeat final(?) chapter of the Heartbeats/Limelites song cycle
("A Thousand Miles Away", "500 Miles To Go", "Daddy's Home", etc.).
Now, I've got a love so deep in the pit of my heart
And each day it grows more and more
I'm not ashamed to come and plead to you, baby
If pleadin' keeps you from walkin' out that door
#21) Temptations, The: "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" (1966) [13] {1} <26><145><256>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu9AkQUpcso (full song)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpgSXXRV5Pk (minus lead vocal)
Daddy's home after running away
From the mother, mother-in-law
He lift a hundred pounds of clay
And what'd I say?
That's it - I quit - I'm movin' on
#22) 3 Friends, The: "Dedicated (To The Songs I Love)" (1961) [89] {-} <->
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNbxT9lG7uM
The song's gimmick is that its lyrics are formed from the titles of
contemporaneous hits.
Now listen, without the man, I don't wanna live
You think I'm lyin', but I'm tellin' you like it is
He's got my nose open, and that's no lie
And I, I'm gonna keep him satisfied
#23) Turner, Ike & Tina: "A Fool In Love" (1960) [27] {2} <49><296>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNGo-cwll20
You got me yearnin', burnin' with desire
You set my heart and soul on fire
You drive me wild, you make me shout
Have mercy, Mr. Percy, now cut that out!
#24) Vaughan, Sarah: "Smooth Operator" (1959) [44] {8} <279>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LemzWUvWAU
Won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine
#25) Wonder, Stevie: "My Cherie Amour" (1969) [4] {4} <52><223><320>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fjufjv4rH0s
Recorded in late-'67/early-'68, but not released until Jan. 1969. Original
working title was "Oh My Marsha," in honor of his one-time girlfriend.
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
Well, this dance started down south, you know
Yeah yeah, with a swingin' cat on the sax named Kokomo Joe
#T1) Duvals, The: "Cotton" (1963) [-] {-} <->
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF2Fnfrno8U ("Cotton"/"What Am I?")
Carlton Black (see notes for song #07) was a group member & wrote the flip
(included in the link above), "What Am I?". He's 2nd from right in the
group picture appearing about two minutes into the clip.
You'll never get a second chance
Plan all your moves in advance
#T2) Tanega, Norma: "You're Dead" (1966) [-] {-} <->
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4jUZ-Ex1k0
Norma died 12/29/19 at 80. This was the lead track from her 1966 LP
"Walkin' My Cat Named Dog." In recent years, the song has been used as the
opening theme for the 2014 movie (and subsequent TV series on FX)
"What We Do in the Shadows." Your humble scribe recommends this hilarious
mockumentary about the day-to-day lives of a group of vampire housemates.
