GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #419 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.

Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #419
Recordings #01-25 were from 1955 through 1969
Due 5:00 p.m. EDT (GMT-4) on Friday, December 31, 2021
From the canyons of the mind
We wander on and stumble blindly
Through the often tangled maze
Of starless nights and sunless days
While asking for some kind of clue
#01) Ames, Ed: "Who Will Answer?" (1967) [19] {-} <121>
You know I hate to go
But goodbye, love was sweet
Our worlds can never meet
#02) Beau Brummels, The: "Just A Little" (1965) [8] {-} <17><98><191>
Don't keep us so far apart
I love you
I love you
Are you too far above me to hear?
#03) Carr, Cathy: "Ivory Tower" (1956) [2] {-} <37><326>
Now you're in the center ring
And their lines don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me try
#04) Delfonics, The: "La - La - Means I Love You" (1968) [4] {2} <6><137><311>
Make me laugh so they won't see
How much it hurts
Loving you the way I do
And knowing I'm losing you
#05) Duke, Patty: "Say Something Funny" (1965) [22] {-} <154>
Maybe you'll believe me when I'm finally through
Through
Through
Through
#06) Freddie and The Dreamers: "I'm Telling You Now"
(1965) [1] {-} <2><108><283>
You get the girls
I'll get the car
Bring a banjo and an old guitar
Get out the spoons
You know the tunes
Hey diddle diddle with
A fiddle in the middle
#07) Glencoves, The: "Hootenanny" (1963) [38] {-} <196><330>
Can't you see you're in my way now?
Don't you know you cramp my style?
#08) Haley, Bill, and His Comets: "See You Later, Alligator"
(1956) [6] {7} <6><97><197><290>
TT: Group's lead guitarist, Franny Beecher,
provided the spoken child-like intro.
One of these days I’m gonna raise up
My glistenin’ wings and fly
But that day will have to wait for a while
#09) Ian, Janis: "Society's Child (Baby I've Been Thinking)"
(1967) [14] {-} <34><92><176><275>
You thought you hadn’t found a good girl
One to love you and give you the world
Now you find that you've been misused
Talk to me, I'll do what you choose, I want you to
#10) James, Etta: "Tell Mama" (1967) [23] {10} <121>
He'll take your girl and then he'll lie
And he'll mistreat her
It seems every day now
You hear people say now
#11) Kuban, Bob, and The In-Men: "The Cheater" (1966) [12] {-} <15><138><282>
It’s gray, it’s gray
Since she went her way
#12) Los Bravos: "Black Is Black" (1966) [4] {-} <30><141><266>
Girl, don’t you know every time I see you smilin’?

Try everything to stop but there’s no denyin’
(Fallin’ in love with you girl is just like dyin’)
#13) Monkees, The: "Words" (1967) [11] {-} <130><281>
QM: The highest charting Monkees song where Peter Tork sang lead, sharing
vocals with Micky Dolenz. It used to be an oddity when a GOLQ artist died
during a quiz featuring one of their songs, but sadly no more.
He loves Levis and brown eyes
And wind blowin' through his hair
#14) Murmaids, The: "Popsicles And Icicles"
(1963/64) [3] {n/c} <8><106><174><350>
I get no rest when I'm feelin’ weary
I gotta pack my bags and go
I gotta be somewhere tomorrow
#15) Nelson, Rick: "Teen Age Idol" (1962) [5] {-} <35><280>
Then I kissed her eyes with mine
As she knelt before me
Poured the wine and told me her story
We lit a fire and watched it grow higher
#16) Parade, The: "Sunshine Girl" (1967) [20] {-} <158>
I'm in love with your daughter
The one
With the champagne eyes
She knows that I love her
Ever since she showed me those eyes
#17) Premiers, The: "Farmer John" (1964) [19] {n/c} <80><185>
TT: Written by Don Harris & Dewey Terry. Don and Dewey first recorded it in
1959, backed with their original version of "Big Boy Pete" (a hit in 1960 for
The Olympics).
One thing you can be sure of
I'll take good care of your love
If you will let me give you mine
#18) Puckett, Gary, and The Union Gap: "Lady Willpower" (1968) [2] {-} <52><262>
She's a hot footin' baby
There ain't no dance she couldn´t do
She's my groovy little baby
#19) Righteous Brothers, The: "Little Latin Lupe Lu" (1963) [49] {-} <63>
America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone
#20) Steppenwolf: "Monster" (1969) [39] {-} <254>
DT: The lyrics come from the 3rd part (of full title Monster/Suicide/America).
Also, the 45rpm lists the title only as "Monster".
I've given up my friends just (for you)
My friends are gone and you
Have too
#21) Supremes, The: "Come See About Me" (1964/65) [1] {3} <47><143><295>
It's funny how they look so good together
Wonder what is wrong with me
Why can't I, accept the fact she's chosen him
And simply let them be
#22) Them: "Here Comes The Night" (1965) [24] {-} <39><110><234>
I see the purple shades of evening
And on the ground
The shadows fall and once again you're in my arms
#23) Unit Four Plus Two: "Concrete And Clay" (1965) [28] {-} <27><120><200><334>
Please don't send me
Any wedding invitation
For I couldn't bear to see her there with you
If she's happy
That will be my consolation
#24) Wade, Adam: "Take Good Care Of Her" (1961) [7] {20} <121>
My love has no beginning, my love has no end
No front, no back, and my love won't bend
I'm in the middle, Lost in a spin
A-loving you
And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know
#25) Wilson, Nancy: "(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am" (1964) [11] {n/c} <53><203>

Tie-Breakers
Well, my father told me
"Son, you had better get a gun"
Well, my first friend went down
When I was 17 years old
Well, my first friend went down
When I was 17 years old
Well, there's one thing I can say about that boy
He gotta go
#T1) Butterfield, Paul, Blues Band: "Born In Chicago" (1965) [-] {-}
QM: The intended connection between the tie-breakers was simply they were two
blues band, but in 1967, Mayall released a 4-song EP that featured Paul
Butterfield.
May seem peculiar
How I think of you
If you want me, darlin’
Here’s what you must do
You gotta give me
‘Cause I can’t give the best
Unless I got
#T2) Mayall, John: "Room To Move" (1969) [-] {-}

PUZZLER SOLUTION
----------------
Congratulations to all those who solved this Puzzler!
The clue answers:
A) Jackie Wilson's "NIGHT" reached #4 on the pop charts, his highest
charting hit
B) In the song "Heart" from the musical "Damn Yankees", the hapless
Washington Senators' manager tells his team they "gotta have HOPE"
C) "POINT Panic" was The Surfaris' follow-up to "Wipe Out" b/w
"Surfer Joe"
D) Banana and Louie were Brian Wilson's DOGS, who provided some real
"pet sounds" by barking at a passing train, the last sounds heard
on side two of the Beach Boys' album "Pet Sounds"
E) Marvin Gaye is accompanied on "HITCH HIKE" by Martha and The
Vandellas
F) Frankie Avalon and The Shocking Blue had chart toppers with
different songs entitled "VENUS"
G) Roy Hamilton's "Don't Let Go" begins "Hear that WHISTLE, it's ten
o'clock"
H) A TUBA sits on the ground on the famous "Sgt. Pepper's" cover
I) Brian Wilson released the single "CAROLINE, No" as a solo artist
J) Chuck Jackson & MAXINE Brown released "Something You Got" and four
other duets as singles in the 60's
K) ETTA James & Sugar Pie DeSanto released "Do I Make Myself Clear"
and "In The Basement - Part 1" in the 60's
L) "TIME IS Tight" was Booker T. & The MG's' follow-up to "Hang 'Em
High"
M) TONY ASHER co-wrote with Brian Wilson 8 of the 13 songs on "Pet
Sounds", the album second only to Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On"
on Rolling Stone's 2020 "Greatest Albums of All Time" list
N) Carl Perkins released "PINK Pedal Pushers" in '58, Dodie Stevens
released "Pink Shoe Laces" in '59, and Mitchell Torok released
"Pink Chiffon" in '60
O) Anita Humes joined The ESSEX and sang lead on "Easier Said Than
Done"
P) MITCH Miller with his Orchestra and Chorus hit #1 with "The Yellow
Rose Of Texas" in '55; Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels hit #4
with "Devil With A Blue Dress On & Good Golly Miss Molly" in '66
The grid solution:
Some people might think that sex is the highest experience you can
have. I tend to think that music is. - BRIAN WILSON
The letters in one of the columns of the grid rearrange to spell out
IN MY ROOM, a single from the Beach Boys' '63 album "Surfer Girl".
One of the clue answers' columns spells out GOOD VIBRATIONS, which was
mostly recorded during the '66 "Pet Sounds" sessions, but did not
appear on an album until '67's "Smiley Smile".
As to the bonus question: Paul Tanner was a former trombonist with
Glenn Miller and His Orchestra who in the late '50's co-developed the
Electro-Theremin, an electronic musical instrument that mimicked the
sound of the theremin but was easier to control. Brian Wilson had him
play it to produce the weird sci-fi sounds on "Good Vibrations" and
other Beach Boys songs. Said Tanner of his first "Pet Sounds" session:
"Brian came over to me and sang such and such a thing, and I said
'Well, write it down and I'll play it', and he said 'Write it down?
We don't write anything down'."
The album "Pet Sounds" along with the singles "In My Room", "I Get
Around", "California Girls", and "Good Vibrations" are all in the
Grammy Hall of Fame. The Beach Boys were inducted into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.
Here's hoping you had FUN, FUN, FUN!
