RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #404 (GOLQ404)
Congratulations to the Village Idiots, Delphi Trivia Club, and James White,
each having identified all 25 songs and artists in the main part of the quiz,
as well as both tie breakers.
In preparing the results of the quiz, I noticed that songs #14 and #15 were
out of alphabetical order. Interestingly, a number of teams correctly
identified both songs anyway, without comment. To rectify the error, I
correctly re-ordered the songs and offered teams that missed one or both songs
an opportunity to resubmit an answer for either or both songs.
These results reflect the corrected order and updated entries, as required.
The website will also reflect the corrected order for both the quiz
and the results.
As always, thanks to everyone who entered. Rich Ardini has already posted
milestone GOLQ 405, which includes a commemorative puzzle to celebrate the
30th anniversary of the GOLQ!

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #404 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If it feels good, it's alright
If it feels good, it's alright
#01) Abaco Dream: "Life and Death in G & A" (1969) [74] {25} <238>
Note: As previously noted by Howard in GOLQ 238 Results, this is the earliest
(alphabetically) GOLQ-eligible artist. Song written by Sly Stone. No idea
what "G & A" stands for....anybody?
There's a woman that you ought to know
And she's coming, singing soft and low
Singing rock and roll, she's a joy to know
#02) Buffalo Springfield, The: "Rock 'N' Roll Woman" (1967) [44] {-} <168><268>

You've got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
When I was down, you just stood there grinning
#07) Dylan, Bob: "Positively 4th Street" (1965) [7] {-} <3><168><268>
The leaves began to fade
Like promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go wrong
#08) Fabares, Shelley: "The Things We Did Last Summer" (1962) [46] {-} <270>
I'm gonna keep moving
Til I get to that street corner 6th and 3rd
#09) Gaye, Marvin: "Hitch Hike" (1963) [30] {12} <81><225><312>
Well, I always knew
I was crazy for you
But, how'd I know
That you'd thrill me so
#10) Gracie, Charlie: "Fabulous" (1957) [16] {-} <72><233>
I never really noticed
How sweet you are to me
It just so happens I'm free tonight
Would you like to have dinner with me
#11) Greaves, R. B.: "Take A Letter Maria" (1969/70) [2] {10} <62><127><289>
You're such a haunting memory
I pray that you'll come back to me
But as I say my evening prayers
#12) Lawrence, Steve: "Footsteps" (1960) [7] <54><272>
He saw Aunt Mary coming
And he ducked back in the alley
#13) Little Richard and His Band: "Long Tall Sally"
(1956) [6] {1} <54><124><259>
Somehow my finances will grow
With the interest I show
In the interest it gives me
#14) Lovin' Spoonful, The: "Money" (1968) [48] {-} <309>
Well, lace up your boots and we'll walk on down
To a knocked out shack on the edge of town
#15) Miller, Chuck: "The House Of Blue Lights" (1955) [9] {-} <101><181>
I'm gonna scream and shout it
There ain't no doubt about it
That's why I love you like I do
#16) Nelson, Ricky: "Just A Little Too Much" (1959) [9] {-} <92><170>
Save those lies, Darling, don't explain
I recall Central Park in Fall
How you tore your dress

Well they locked me up and they threw away the key
#20) Johnny Rivers: "(I Washed My Hands In) Muddy Water" (1966) [19] {-} <87>

As happy as I, when you loved me
I'll never forget you, your sweet memory
#21) Robbins, Marty: "Don't Worry" (1961) [3] {-} <171><270>
Note: Many laud Paul McCartney for his innovative fuzz-bass on The Beatles'
recording of George Harrison's "Think For Yourself," but I believe this song,
recorded four years prior to the 1965 "Rubber Soul" album, was actually the
first known instance of a recording featuring a fuzz bass.
Why, oh why
Oh why, oh why, oh why
#22) Rodgers, Jimmie: "Secretly" (1958) [3] {7} <50><180>
You just told me that your love hasn't changed
And that's why I'd like to arrange
To see you again
I don't know when

Yeah, I know she's gonna treat you wrong
So your heart just better be strong
'Cause you can get hurt

You know I'll always be true
I know that I
Will love you 'til I die
I always have, I always will
#25) Techniques: "Hey! Little Girl" (1957) [29] {-} <64>
------------
Tie-Breakers
-------------
Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past
There must have been a moment of truth
#T1) Andrews, Julie, and Bill Lee: "Something Good" (1965)
Note: From the movie "Sound Of Music" Soundtrack. Bill Lee providing the
vocals for Christopher Plummer to pantomime. No deduction for not knowing
Plummer was playing "Milli Vanilli."
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you
#T2) Beatles, The: "Good Night" (1968)
Note: From their "White" album. Also gave credit for The Carpenters, who
recorded the song in 1969.

10.00 #25) Techniques: "Hey! Little Girl"
08.00 #01) Abaco Dream: "Life and Death in G & A"
Note: Only big surprise was that Steve Lawrence's "Footsteps," which reached
a respectable #7 on the Billboard charts, was second from the bottom (tied)
as least recognized song. I also thought that The Beatles' "Good Night," even
though a tie breaker, would have fared better.
