RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #422 (GOLQ422)
[Sorry for the late posting. Tom sent the results on time.]
Congratulations to the Village Idiots, the only team to identify all songs in
the main part of the quiz, as well as both tie-breakers The EJ's and Delphi
Trivia Club came close, both missing only song #03, followed by Really Rockin'
In Boston, also only missing just one in the main part, and one tie-breaker.
Seven songs were identified by every team, and most teams identified a high
percentage of the remaining songs.
Thanks to all who entered.
- Tom Pillion

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #422 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
#01) Animals, The: "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" (1965) [13] {-}
<32><104><300>
If I give my heart to you
I must be sure from the very start
That you would love me more than her
#02) Beatles, The: "If I Fell" (1964) [53] {n/c} <103><225>
When you say that you love me, Honey
When you really mean my money

More than the meadow so green and still
More than the mulberries on the hill
More than the buds on a May apple tree
#04) Boone, Pat: "Friendly Persuasion (Thee I Love)" (1956/57) [5] {-}
<87><209><354>
Well, I was rollin' down the highway

Found a telephone booth
I tried to call my honey

Throw me a woman with a style and grace
Then stand back, Buddy, and give me space

#16) Rolling Stones, The: "Let's Spend The Night Together" (1967) [55] {-}

You know I never could
Our love was much too good
I can't sit back and watch it die

And you'll be my last love
I will never make you blue
I'll be true to you

It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary

Note: Also accepted Dinah Shore as artist
Listen to me
Cynthia and Jerry got a message they're sayin'
All the squares go home

He's awful nice
It's paradise
I hope I'm not his decoy
#23) Thomas, Carla: "Gee Whiz (Look At His Eyes)" (1961) [10] {5} <39><270><348>

-----------
Tie-Breakers
------------
I told my mama
And my dad
What I had
Was the sweetest
And the neatest
Little girl
In the world
#T1) Orbison, Roy: "Lana" (1962) {-} <->
Note: A personal favorite off of Roy's second album on Monument Records,
"Crying." Charted in the UK as a single in 1966.
Holy Father up above
Please protect the boy I love
Keep him strong and keep him pure
For he's the one I love, I'm sure
#T2) Velveteens, The: "Teen Prayer" (1961) {-} <->
Note: I was pleasantly surprised that so many teams identified this mostly
regional hit from this Springfield, MA group featuring lead singer Sandy
Bryant. Springtime hit in CT and Western MA; also in Cleveland, OH. Reached 86
on Music Vendor pop chart and 101 on Cash Box. Magical innocent times of the
early '60's. Quite a change from what we see in most of today's pop and rap
lyrics.
