RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #410 (GOLQ410)
Congratulations to the Delphi Trivia Club, Vito & The Salutations, and the
Village Idiots, all of whom tied for first with perfect scores. The EJs
identified all but one tie-breaker. The Tri-State Trivia Club had a near
perfect score. The Delphi Trivia Club was the first to submit a perfect score.

with each song matching to a gift from one of the first 27 years in Hallmark's
posted list. RRIB, the EJs, Will McCorry, Vito & The Salutations and the
Coasters all identified the theme.
The average score was 385.8.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #410 ANSWERS:
Answers are in the form:

"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,

"xxx",...,"yyy" = prior GOLQ(s) in which the song appeared, if any.

Tons of gold for which they'd kill

25th Anniversary: Silver
QM: Lee might have been saying ‘singd' or ‘singed' (with a hard g), hard to
tell with the t sound in the next word. Neither word exists in English. This

------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
It's time you walked away
Set me free
I must move away
Leave you be
Time's been good to us, my friend
Wait and see how it will end
We come and go as we please
#T1) Jefferson Airplane: "D.C.B.A.-25" (1967) [-] {-} <->
23rd Anniversary: Air (theme)
QM: Originally chosen as a tie-breaker due to the ‘25' in its title, a
potential alternate theme for this quiz. Seven songs from Surrealistic Pillow
have now appeared in GOLQ quizzes.
Promise her bracelets of silver and jade
Promise her servants, a butler and maid
She'll cuddle close like a hand in a glove
#T2) Martin, Dean: "Promise Her Anything" (1958) [-] {-} <->
19th Anniversary: Jade (I could not find a Top 100 song with Jade in its proper
usage for a gift. My choices for a tie-breaker with Jade seemed limited to
this song or any number of obscure Donovan album cuts).

dozen pop singles, including "Theme From Shaft".

The Rolling Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash" reached #3 in 1968, while The
Who's "Happy Jack" reached #24 in 1967.
KING:
Jonathan, Peggy, Claude, Freddy, Anna, or Teddi

ever quite as famous as B.B., Ben E., or Carole.
LOVE POTION NUMBER NINE:
It "looked like India ink"
According to the Leiber-Stoller song, "It smelled like turpentine, it
looked like Indian ink".
MEMPHIS:
Tennessee city in which Booker T. Jones was born
The "MG" of Booker T. & the MG's stands for "Memphis Group".
NUTTIN' FOR CHRISTMAS:
Xmas novelty song on the pop charts by five different artists in '55
The artists were Art Mooney and his Orchestra with Barry Gordon, Joe
Ward, Ricky Zahnd & the Blue Jeaners, The Fontane Sisters, and Stan
Freberg.

including "Yummy Yummy Yummy" - were actually the work of studio
musicians in New York.
PARIS:
Foreign city in which Jim Morrison is buried
The songwriter, poet, and Doors' lead singer is buried in Pere Lachaise
Cemetery in Paris, where Greek writing on a plaque on his gravestone
translates to "true to his own spirit".
QUESTIONS:
Chicago had 67 and 68 in '69
"Questions 67 and 68" was the group's first charting single.
ROGER MILLER:
"King Of The Road" singer-songwriter
This was the country singer's highest charting pop single.
STUART SUTCLIFFE:
Oldest Beatle in '61
The Beatles' original bass guitarist, who died of a cerebral hemorrhage
in April, 1962, is pictured on the far left of the cover of the album
"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
TRUMPET:
Hugh Masekela's musical instrument on "Grazing In The Grass"
The South African composer and political activist could also play the
flugelhorn, cornet, and trombone.
UNION GAP:
Washington town for which Gary's group was named
Gary Puckett, though born in Minnesota, grew up in Yakima, Washington,
adjacent to Union Gap.
VIC DAMONE:
Vocalist Frank Sinatra claimed had "the best pipes in the business"
Damone was originally cast as Johnny Fontane in "The Godfather", but quit
because "the movie was not in the best interests of Italian Americans".
WE FIVE:
Group with a single whose lyrics start, "When I woke up this morning"
1965's "You Were On My Mind" continues, "You were on my mind \ And you
were on my mind \ I got troubles, whoa-oa \ I got worries, whoa-oa".
XIV:
Regnal Roman numeral used by novelty recording artist Jerry Samuels
Recording engineer and composer Samuels recorded "They're Coming To
Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" as Napoleon XIV.
YESTERDAY:
Matt Monro's October, '65 release was the first U.K. single of this song
Though released as a single in the U.S. in September, 1965, "Yesterday"
was unlike The Beatles' previous work and did not fit their image, so
they originally refused to permit the release of a single in the U.K.
ZOLA TAYLOR:
She joined David, Herb, Paul, and Tony in harmony
Zola's fellow Platters were David Lynch, Herb Reed, Paul Robi, and Tony
Williams.
Contained within certain letters indicated by the Puzzler's instructions
are its hidden quote, it's source, and the source's famous band:
"ROCK 'N' ROLL MIGHT NOT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS, BUT IT DOES LET YOU DANCE
ALL OVER THEM." - PETE TOWNSHEND, THE WHO
Ten other letters indicated in the instructions unscramble to spell "THE
DETOURS", the group that evolved into The Who.
A final note: The Who were briefly named "The High Numbers", as on their
first single, "Zoot Suit", but soon switched back to "The Who".
I hope that clarifies this Puzzler's solution. I CAN'T EXPLAIN any better
than that!
