RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #418 (GOLQ418)
Here's hoping everyone had a great Thanksgiving, and best wishes for this
upcoming Christmas and holiday season.
Congratulations to the EJ's and the Village Idiots, both teams having
identified all 25 songs and artists in the main part of the quiz, as well as
both tie breakers.
Overall, with the exception of a stumper, this proved to be a relatively easy
quiz. Seven songs were identified by every team, and most teams identified a
high percentage of the remaining songs. Once again, my tiebreakers turned out
to be ineffective tiebreakers, in that many teams identified both. However, my
#22 fulfilled the role of tiebreaker, in that only the top two teams correctly
identified "Wednesday," a quality non-novelty song by the Royal Guardsmen that
I thought would have been more successful in its day.
I missed seeing entries from several "regulars," but as always, thanks to
everyone who entered. Rich Ardini posted GOLQ419, which contains another
puzzler from Bob Bluestein.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #418 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you know you're lonely
You're not the one and only
#01) Anka, Paul: "It's Time To Cry" (1959/60) [4] {13} <37><253>
But when you discover that your life is dreary
Don't you come a-knockin' on my door
Why, I'll be all dolled up and singin' that song that says
You dog, I told you so
#02) Armstrong, Louis: "So Long Dearie" (1964) [56] {n/c} <286>
Last night I was blind
But today I see
I did you wrong
#03) Bare, Bobby: "Shame On Me" (1962) [23] {-} <192>
I wonder why nobody don't like me
Or is it the fact that I'm ugly?
#04) Belafonte, Harry: "Mama Look At Bubu" (1957) [11] {10} <35><258>
You've grown tired
And now you say we're through
#05) Charles, Ray: "Born To Lose" (1962) [41] {-} <229>
I lived my life and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see the years ran away
#06) Clark, Roy: "Yesterday, When I Was Young" (1969) [19] {-} <133><354>
Hip! She tells me to jump and I jump
(Jump Jump!) Ho! She tells me to dance and I dance
Gotta listen or get no kissin'
#07) Como, Perry: "Tina Marie" (1955) [5] {-} <337>
Do you remember me, Baby
Like I remember you
You used to laugh at me
And holler, "Who who who"
#08) Domino, Fats: "My Girl Josephine" (1960/61) [14] {7} <140>

Waiting for you to come along
So my heart could feel satisfied

I can't help it if that doggoned moon above
Makes me need someone like you to love
#10) Everly Brothers, The: "Don't Blame Me" (1961) [20] {-} <80><258>
Note: As their career progressed, the Everly's began to drift from their
Pop/Rock/Country style into more traditional songs. This single was taken from
their "Both Sides Of An Evening" album, which featured traditional songs and
standards. This beautiful song was written in 1932 by favorite songwriters
of mine, Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields ("I'm In The Mood For Love," and "On
The Sunny Side Of The Street," and more). I like the Everly's version,
although the song and the album were not as well received as most of their
previous material.
When my bankroll is getting small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep
#11) Fisher, Eddie: "Count Your Blessings (Instead Of Sheep)" (1954/55) [5]

And night after night
As strange as it seems
The sound of her laughter
Will sing in your dreams

I gave that notion up the day
A lumberjack came in, and it wasn't to pray
#13) Kingston Trio, The: "Reverend Mr. Black" (1963) [8] {15} <133><253>
I couldn't sleep at all last night
Just a-thinking of you
#14) Lewis, Bobby: "Tossin' And Turnin'" (1961) [1] {1} <6><232><344>
It's starrin' me and my sweet dream
'Cause she's the one makes me feel this way
#15) Lovin' Spoonful, The: "Daydream" (1966) [2] {-} <57><173><329>
I warned her of the dangers
Don't speak to strangers
Did by chance
She find new romance
#16) Miller, Roger: "Engine Engine #9" (1965) [7] {-} <61>
Crowded streets, busy feet hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
#17) Orbison, Roy: "Pretty Paper" (1963/64) [15] {-} <78><322>
When the world outside my house is pulling us apart
Press your lips to mine and hold me with your heart
#18) Pitney, Gene: "True Love Never Runs Smooth" (1963) [21] {-} <188><338>
How come every time I'm with her
She whispers so soft and low
It makes me want to jump and holler
And bump my head into a door
#19) Price, Lloyd: "I'm Gonna Get Married" (1959) [3] {1} <6><175>
Heal the sick, raise the dead
Make the little girls talk out of their heads
#20) Rivers, Johnny: "Seventh Son" (1965) [7] {-} <56><117>
Here's a chance to change your mind
'Cause I'll be gone a long long time
#21) Rolling Stones, The: "The Last Time" (1965) [9] {-} <52><138><273>
Every time I call on you
It seems it's positively true
That you've been out with someone I once knew
#22) Royal Guardsmen, The: "Wednesday" (1967) [97] {-} <294>
Tonight I'll sing my songs again
And I'll play the game and pretend
#23) Simon & Garfunkel: "Homeward Bound" (1966) [5] {-} <52><290>
He says her lips are warm
Each time they kiss goodnight
And just as sweet as any lips can be
#24) Tillotson, Johnny: "Jimmy's Girl" (1961) [25] {-} <212>
Think of me
When you're away
Call me darling
Just once a day
#25) Wilson, Jackie: "I'll Be Satisfied" (1959) [20] {6} <35><258>
Well, sometimes, I might get drunk
Walk like a duck and smell like a skunk
#T1) Dylan, Bob: "I Shall Be Free" (1963) [-] {n/c} <->

I only know it does
I wonder why I love you, Baby
I guess it's just because
#T2). Presley, Elvis: "(You're So Square) Baby, I Don't Care" (1957) [-] {-} <->
Note: From the movie, "Jailhouse Rock," written by Leiber & Stoller; featured
on a "Jailhouse Rock" EP and in several album compilations. Also accepted
Buddy Holly as a correct artist. FYI: Jordanaires were not featured on this
song, but I did not deduct points, since it was.a tiebreaker that affected no
one's relative position in the standings.
===========================================================================
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.

Ray Charles, and the standard "Don't Blame Me" would have fared higher.
