GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #409 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.

We danced all night to a rockin' band

frequent songwriting partner. The run would end with Donna The Prima Donna and
Drip Drop.

Ooh, ooh, wee

I held you in my arms
Now when days grow stormy
And lonely for me
I just recall

And in your arms I will stay

Run on your merry way
But don't forget
Everyone, everyone has his day

There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away

If you don't give me no consolation
I'm gonna take it to the United Nation
I'm gonna see that you be back home
#T2) Berry, Chuck, and His Combo: "Thirty Days (To Come Back Home)" (1955)
Note: Non-charting follow-up to "Maybelline." Mike Weaver offered:
"Thirty Days" has a twin brother; "Forty Days" by Ronnie Hawkins and the
Hawks. It is essentially the same song, but does not contain the posted
lyrics. There was apparently some kind of legal activity regarding
authorship. As originally issued on Roulette, credit went to Hawkins and
Jacqueline Magill. Ms. Magill was allegedly the girlfriend of label owner
Morris Levy of whom it has been said never let legalities stand in his way.
It apparently got sorted out and Chuck Berry is listed as author in later
issues.
============================================================================
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.

11.67 #23) Radiants, The: "It Ain't No Big Thing"
Note: No real surprises, since most songs were Top 30 or better, but I was a
bit amused that Chuck Berry's 1955 non-charted hit, "Thirty Days (To Come Back
Home)" was more recognizable (though not by much) than Johnny Mathis's Top 5
hit, "It's Not For Me To Say." Rock on, Chuck!
