GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #433 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
#01) Beatles, The: "I Saw Her Standing There" (1964) [14] {n/c} <85><206><302>
It's taller than the tallest tree (how soft?)
Softer than a summer breeze
All I ask you, please
Give (uh huh) your love (uh huh)
Your love (uh huh), sweet love (uh huh) to me
#02) Brooks, Donnie: "Mission Bell" (1960) [7] {-} <19><133><266>
‘Cause I took a plane, plane, plane
But there was some rain, rain, rain
And there was no flyin', flyin', flyin'
So I took a train, train, train
#03) Checker, Chubby: "Hey, Bobba Needle" (1964) [23] {n/c} <284>
I'm going down to the bus station with a
Suitcase in my hand, yes I am
I'm gonna grab me a armful of Greyhound
And ride just as far as I can
#04) Cooke, Sam: "Somebody Have Mercy" (1962) [70] {3} <183>
QM: Not a big chart hit, but it was a longer, show-stopper number in his live
shows.
Really somethin'
When the joint is jumpin'
When they do
#05) Dovells, The: "Bristol Stomp" (1961) [2] {7} <30><155><267><346>
Then came the dawn
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone
#06) Electric Prunes, The: "I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)"
(1966/67) [11] {-} <15><102><210>
DT: Kenny Loggins was in this group (he toured with them for awhile a year after
these hits).
Though we're apart a little while
My heart will wait until we both can smile
That wall, built of our sorrow
We know must have an end
‘Til then dream of tomorrow
When we meet again
#07) Fisher, Toni: "West Of The Wall" (1962) [37] {-} <164>
QM: Toni's ode to the Berlin Wall. This received decent airplay in the Boston
area, maybe not so much elsewhere.
When love walked out
A fire went out inside of me
They put it out
Those tears inside of me
#08) Fortunes, The: "Here It Comes Again" (1965) [27] {-} <76><244>
QM: Like some other British Invasion groups, including #25, the Fortunes faded
from the Top 30 after a couple of songs. They would occasionally achieve lower
chart success in the ensuing years and even briefly returned to the spotlight
with Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again in 1971.
There, whenever you need to know
That there is someone who cares
So if your new love
Isn't the true love
Don't you worry darlin'
#09) Gerry and The Pacemakers: "I'll Be There" (1964/65) [14] {-} <12><136><301>
Call out your name
Wake up the town, you'll see
I'm gonna hoo-hoot and howl like the lovesick owl
Until you say you're gonna come out with me
#10) Hodges, Eddie: "I'm Gonna Knock On Your Door" (1961) [12] {-} <56><190>
Children, behave
#11) James, Tommy, and The Shondells: "I Think We're Alone Now"
(1967) [4] {-} <13><111>
Girl, the name of the game is love
On your mark, get set, let the kissin' start
#12) Jay and The Techniques: "Keep The Ball Rollin'"
(1967/68) [14] {-} <7><90><277><341>
QM: I remember watching an historic Houston-UCLA basketball game in January
1968, when Houston, at home, ended a long UCLA winning streak.
At halftime, Jay & The Techniques were wheeled around the court on a flatbed
while playing this song.
I memori-i-ize
Every line
#13) Lester, Ketty: "Love Letters" (1962) [5] {2} <8><92><305><337>
QM: A shout-out to Lincoln Mayorga, who provided the memorable piano
arrangement. Lincoln was first heard as one of the two pianists in the intro to
Four Preps: Big Man. And through his long relationship with the group's Ed Cobb,
he co-produced this single as well as arranged the Standells: Dirty Water,
written by Cobb.
And if a job is hard to find
And we have to stand in the welfare line
I've got your love and you know you got mine
#14) Little Milton: "We're Gonna Make It" (1965) [25] {1} <160>
QM: His biggest Pop Single chart success, he was more successful on the R&B
charts. He was one of the many artists to sing for Coca-Cola in that series of
commercials that often sounded like short pop songs. He sang of his new car that
was so expensive, it had seat belts. Times have changed since then.
All across the nation, such a strange vibration
#15) McKenzie, Scott: "San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair)"
(1967) [4] {-} <13><286><332>
I get high, just a-thinkin' about ya
You know what they say about the bird in the hand
And that's why I ain't leaving without you
#16) Mojo Men, The: "Sit Down, I Think I Love You" (1967) [36] {-} <89><258>
QM: Written by Stephen Stills, first recorded by Buffalo Springfield.
All my bags are packed
#17) Peter, Paul & Mary: "Leaving On A Jet Plane"
(1969/70) [1] {-} <82><162><265><348>
It's so hard to face reality
Knowing loneliness is my destiny
#18) Ruffin, Jimmy: "I've Passed This Way Before" (1966/67) [17] {10} <77><197>
QM: I only remember three lines of this song, the first one and these two, which
are prominent near the end. I was surprised how little the song was recognized.
One night I was late, came home from a date
Slipped out of my shoes at the door
Then from the front room, I heard a jump tune
I looked in and here's what I saw
#19) Starr, Kay: "Rock And Roll Waltz" (1955/56) [1] {-} <31><228>
Up in the morning at half past eight
You can't have your breakfast 'cause you'll be late
You tie your tie like a hangman's noose
Ain't no time to drink your juice
#20) Third Rail: "Run, Run, Run" (1967) [53] {-} <77>
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
#21) Tokens, The: "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"
(1961/62) [1] {7} <18><167><240><296>
But when the Cuban queen comes upon the scene
They all stare like a statue out of stone
And when they realize what's before their eyes
The other girls are left all alone
#22) Torok, Mitchell: "Caribbean" (1959) [27] {26} <114><198>
QM: One of the earliest pop songs I first heard on a TV show, likely American
Bandstand.
Well now she's the woman that's a-got that beat
Ah, she's the woman with the flying feet
Ah, she's the woman walks around the store
She's the woman giving more, more, more, more
#23) Vincent, Gene, and His Blue Caps: "Be-Bop-A-Lula"
(1956) [7] {8} <40><99><208><316>
You'd laugh and say 'nothing's that simple'
But you've been told many times before
Messiahs pointed to the door
No one has the guts to leave the temple
#24) Who, The: "I'm Free" (1969) [37] {-} <63>
QM: From the rock opera Tommy.
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
#25) Zombies, The: "She's Not There"
(1964/65) [2] {n/c} <19><108><200><283><367>
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
I hear that dreams come true there every day
I hear that life don't get you down
The way it gets you in this small town
I swear I'm gonna get me there some way
#T1) Cookies: "On Broadway" (1963) [-] {-} <->
NV: T1 and T2 were both recorded by the Drifters, T1 as a chart hit,
#T2 as the flip side to "Save The Last Dance For Me"
QM: The Drifters let it be known they had a recording session the next day and
needed one more song to record. This Mann/Weil song, first recorded by the
Crystals and Cookies, was submitted. Lieber/Stoller wrote new lyrics to better
fit the group's style. Those lyrics, plus an excellent Garry Sherman arrangement
with Phil Spector providing the guitar solo, has made this an enduring radio
song. Sherman would later play the keyboards on Van Morrison: Brown Eyed Girl.
It is unclear if either of the girl-group versions was released as a single.
Nobody can do the (Twist) like I do
Nobody can do the (Shout) like I do
Nobody can mash (the Mashed Potato) like I do
Nobody can do the (Popeye) like I do
Ah don't you know I gotta Twist I do
#T2) Isley Brothers: "Nobody But Me" (1962) [-] {-} <->
QM: Two versions of this song were released as Wand 131. In the version above,
these lyrics are right at the beginning. The other version is longer with party
sounds and the lyrics are in a different order. This confusion led to some teams
identifying the above as the Mojos version. But all teams identified it,
presumably due to the later Human Beinz version.

PUZZLER SOLUTION
----------------
Congratulations to all those who solved this Puzzler.
The clue answers:
A) The Lovin' Spoonful released "MONEY" in '68, a different song than "Money
(That's What I Want)"
B) JOHNNY CASH proposed onstage to fellow performer June in February, 1968
at a concert in Canada, and they married shortly thereafter
C) The San Francisco folk trio took "GREENBACK DOLLAR" to #21 in '63
D) The Four COINs' "Shangri-La" was their biggest hit
E) Each of Patricia Bennett, Judy Craig, Barbara Lee, and Sylvia Peterson
turned into a PENNY when recording on Rust Records as The Four Pennies
F) The two country stars co-hosted the long-running country-themed variety
show HEE HAW for many years starting in '69
G) Sam & Dave of "Hold On! I'm A Comin'" fame were SAM MOORE and Dave Prater
H) Soul singer Bettye SWANN had a few charting singles in the late '60's and
early '70's
I) Motown's first #1 hit was MARY WELLS' "My Guy", written by Smokey Robinson
J) Crosby, Stills & Nash had a hit with "SUITE: Judy Blue Eyes", written by
Stills about his then-girlfriend Judy Collins
K) Neil Sedaka released "SWEET Little You", Brenda Lee released "Sweet
Impossible You", and Ray Charles released "Sweet Young Thing Like You"
L) Fats Domino released the single "LITTLE Mary", The Everly Brothers released
"Wake Up Little Susie", and Ritchie Valens released "That's My Little Suzie"
M) Frankie Avalon took "A BOY WITHOUT A GIRL" to #10 in '59
N) Cream's "WHITE ROOM", a #6 hit in '68, also contains the lyrics "I'll wait
in this place where the sun never shines"
O) The studio group STEAM recorded "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye", and it's
been a staple of sports contests and rallies ever since
P) Gary (U.S.) Bonds released "Dear Lady TWIST", The Champs released "Tequila
Twist", and Rod McKuen released "Oliver Twist"
Q) The Simon SISTERS, Lennon Sisters, Paris Sisters, and Bonnie Sisters all
had singles on the Billboard pop charts
R) Thompson's single "James (Hold The Ladder STEADY)" was one of her five
top 40 hits
S) Boone, The Fontanes, Storm, and many others recorded on DOT Records
T) ROY ORBISON's "Blue Bayou" was the B-side of "Mean Woman Blues"
U) NAPPY Brown, born Napoleon Brown Culp, sometimes toured with Alan Freed's
revues
V) Big Bopper's "CHANTILLY LACE" was covered ten years later by Mitch Ryder
as "(You've Got) Personality & Chantilly Lace"
W) The Mystics' "HUSHABYE" was covered ten years later by Jay & The Americans
X) Eric Burdon & The Animals' "San Franciscan Nights" suggests that you "save
up all your BREAD and fly TransLove Airways to San Francisco, U.S.A."
Y) "You Never Give Me Your Money" contains the line "You only give me your
FUNNY paper"
Z) "DRAG CITY" was Jan & Dean's follow-up to "Surf City" and "Honolulu Lulu"
There is a line from a Beatles song spelled out by the letters in certain
clue answer columns as indicated; similar to the line "Money can't buy me
love", here we have from "She's Leaving Home":
"Fun is the one thing that money can't buy"
However, the grid solution is:
When someone once claimed that The Beatles were anti-materialistic,
Paul's response was "That's a huge myth ... John and I literally used
to sit down and say, 'Now, let's write a swimming pool.'"
So perhaps in singing "Money (That's What I Want)", The Beatles were more
"on the money" with the line:
"Your lovin' give me a thrill / But your lovin' don't pay my bills"
Hope you had "the one thing that money can't buy"!
