RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #427 (GOLQ427)
Congratulations to The EJ's & Company, the only team to identify all songs in
the main part of the quiz, as well as both tie-breakers. The EJ's were
followed closely by the Village Idiots, who missed only the artist in T2.
The Delphi Trivia Club, Tri-State, and Mike Weaver also had near perfect
scores, being tripped up only by my #13 stumper.
Thirteen 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 #427 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are the answer to my prayer
I want to love you and I swear
To live my life with one desire
#01) Aquatones, The: "You" (1958) [21] {11} <21><100><178>
Wanted t' go to Maine
Got a ticket on a DC plane
#02) Baker, LaVern, and The Gliders: "Jim Dandy" (1956/57) [17] {1} <74><153>
I wonder wonder if you love me
Guess I'll ask a star above me
When the moon is bright canary yellow
#03) Billy & Lillie: "Lucky Ladybug" (1958/59) [14] {-} <121><328>
Your separate parts are not unknown
But the way you assemble them's all your own
#04) Boone, Pat: "Bernardine" (1957) [14]{-} <70>
I was a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
#05) Cooke, Sam: "Only Sixteen" (1959) [28] {13} <26><220><313>
Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
#06) DeShannon, Jackie: "Put A Little Love In Your Heart" (1969) [4] {-}
<121><385>
Why don't you mind your own business
Shut your lip, lip, lip
I know when my girl
Gimme the slip, slip, slip
#07) Di Muci, Dion: "Drip Drop" (1963/64) [6] {n/c} <80><169><229>
You can smile
Every smile for the man who held your hand 'neath the pale moonlight
#08) Drifters, The: "Save The Last Dance For Me" (1960/61) [1] {1}
<28><147><290>
So darling hold me close to you
And love me, love me
#09) Edwards, Tommy: "Love Is All We Need" (1958/59) [15] {-} <177>
(Spoken:)
The picnics at the park
The boat rides on the lake
The way we danced all night
#10) Francis, Connie: "Together" (1961) [6] {-} <254><394>
Is everybody safe
Has everybody got a place to hide
Is everybody warm inside
#11) Harris, Richard: "The Yard Went On Forever" (1968) [64] {-} <192>
Note: Again, apologies to Mike Weaver for my including #11 in this quiz. I say
this because, in one of my previous quizzes, he informed me that, along with
Richard Harris's version of MacArthur Park, this has to be one of the worst
songs to hit the charts during the GOLQ Era...thanks, Mike, for still agreeing
to play! I was a big fan of Jimmy Webb back in those days, but I have to agree
with Mike that the lyrics in those two songs are a bit "over the top."
I say everybody's got to have their day
And don't you know that
#12) Herman's Hermits: "Listen People" (1966) [3] {-} <3><177><313>
Let me tell you how I've missed you so
I didn't want you to go
'Cause I love you so
#13) Johnson, Bubber: "Come Home" (1955) [92] {9} <->
Note: I am surprised that his stumper was not a bigger hit on Billboard...well
done, IMHO.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BysN4jMOxA
Come all without
Come all within
#14) Manfred Mann: "Mighty Quinn (Quinn The Eskimo)" (1968) [10] {-}
<52><102><301>
Bom, ma ba bom
Ba bom ba bom bom
Ba ma bom ba ba bom
Ba dangy dang dang
Ba dingy dong ding
#15) Marcels, The: "Blue Moon" (1961) [1] {1} <26><141>
Note: I wasn't sure if I accurately captured all the "Bam, ma ba mom's"
correctly, but since no entrant missed this song, I guess I got close enough!
Oh how I loved her, heaven knows
But though my heart was true,
It would never do
Party life was what she chose
#16) Martino, The: "Painted, Tainted Rose" (1963) [15] {?} <->
Afraid to lose
If he came back
Which one would you choose
#17) Orbison, Roy: "Running Scared" (1961) [1] {-} <27><209><344>
My love I offer you now
My heart and all it can give
For just as long as I live
#18) Presley, Elvis: "I'm Yours" (1965) [11] {-} <189>
Note: A personal favorite of mine that I first heard and came to like on his
1962 "Pot Luck" album, three years prior to its release as a single
'Cause I've got the real love
The kind that you need
#19) Rolling Stones, The: "Time Is On My Side" (1964/65) [6] {n/c}
<34><212><302>
When will they learn that a heart doesn't draw a line
Nothing matters if I am yours and you are mine
#20) Rondo, Don: "Two Different Worlds" (1956/57) [19] {?} <->
I do believe it
I do believe it's true
Mmm, mmm
Woah, Oh
Mmm
#21) Simon & Garfunkel: "At The Zoo" (1967) [16] {-} <65><253><318>
No muscle-bound man could take my hand
#22) Wells, Mary: "My Guy" (1964) [1] {n/c} <5><209><287><357>
I don't want a fancy gal with powder and paint
And I don't want a woman who thinks she's a saint
#23) Wilson, Jackie: "A Woman, A Lover, A Friend" (1960) [15] {1} <144>
Really
Couldn't get away too soon
No, no, no, no
#24) Young Rascals, The: "Groovin'" (1967) [1] {3} <52><206><350>
I know you found out she's been cheatin'
And I heard she even told you she was untrue
How does it feel being on the outside, looking in
#25) Yuro, Timi: "What's A Matter Baby (Is It Hurting You)" (1962) [12] {16}
<33><130><275>
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
And now the time has come
And so, my love, I must go
And though I lose a friend
In the end you will know
#T1) Beatles, The: "I'll Follow The Sun" (1964/65) <->
Note: Not much of a tie-breaker, in that every entrant correctly identified this
song. Howard writes: Paul says he wrote the song (presumably in less-polished
form) when he was around 16, hence approximately in 1958. Recorded in October
'64 & released that December on "Beatles for Sale" (UK) and "Beatles '65 (US).
The nicest part of any melody
Is when you're dancing close to me
#T2) Brewer, Teresa: "Music! Music! Music!" (1950) <->
Note: Debut hit that reached #1; Teresa re-recorded it several times in
subsequent years, once in the early 1970's, but it never charted again.
Also accepted Petula Clark, who made an obscure recording in 1949, as a valid
artist. Ineligible artists, because their versions charted, were the Sensations
(#54 in 1961, and with slightly different lyrics) and the and the Happenings
(#96) in 1968.
