RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #446 (GOLQ446)
The theme of this quiz,spelled out by the first letter of each song title
was: "BRIAN WILSON OF THE BEACH BOYS" -- Now you know my favorite composer.
It was identified by 13 of the 15 entrants. (T3 for scoring purposes).
Excellent job by everyone! Many entrants commented that my theme made the
quiz so much easier... which was my intention! I personally think that
having a theme that makes it easier to identify the lesser known songs
makes the quiz more fun to solve.
Vivre Juopperi had this interesting comment about the theme:
"Your hint,'the theme has nothing to do with lyrics or the artists', pretty
much gave it away that is has to something to do with song titles. So, taking
a look at the songs. Song #01, that's easy, it's "Bend Me, Shape Me". At this
point assuming that's the first letters spell out the answer and the first
letter being B. My first thought was "Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys". Quick
check, 25 letters, could be that. Was I surprised when it actually was.
Surprised because it turned out to be the correct answer, not because naming
Brian Wilson your favorite. He's clearly my favorite composer too. In fact,
it was the music of the Beach Boys that got me hooked on 60's music."
Congratulations to Anne Hallerman, Randy Price, Mike Weaver, The Village
Idiots and Vito & the Salutations all of whom had perfect scores!
Also a special mention to Jyrki Ilva for submitting an entry for the first
time in 20 years! Welcome back!
I am pleasantly surprised that many of the entrants were able to identify the
tie breakers.
Hope everyone enjoyed the quiz!
Thanks to everyone who entered.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #446 ANSWERS:
Answers are in the form:
#number) Artist: "Title" (chart year) [peak Pop] {peak R&B}
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").)
================================================================================
You can make this beggar a king
A clown or a poet
#01) American Breed, The: "Bend Me, Shape Me" (1967/68) [5] {-}
Cause I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely?
#02) Bass, Fontella: "Rescue Me" (1965) [4] {1}
Now it's dark and I'm alone but I won't be afraid
#03) Beach Boys, The: "In My Room" (1963/64) [23] {-}
When I'm home
Everything seems to be right
#04) Beatles, The: "A Hard Day's Night" (1964) [1] {n/c}
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading up town
I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab
Flipped a 20-dollar bill, told him, "Catch that yellow cab"

He'll never hurt me anymore
#07) Carr, Vikki: "It Must Be Him" (1967) [3] {-}

JI: Jackie DeShannon's Beatles-influenced version made it to #112 on the
Billboard Bubbling Under chart in April, 1964.
Hey, I thought I was smart
I'd won his heart
Ah, I didn't think I'd lose
But now I see
#11) DeShannon, Jackie: "Needles And Pins" (1963) [84] {-}
JI: Last year there were two fabulous archival releases of DeShannon's early
material: "The Sherry Lee Show" (a 2CD/2LP collection on Sundazed)
features more than 30 tunes from her 1956-57 radio shows on WMRO, a
local Aurora, Illinois station. "Little Bit of Heaven. The 1964 Metric
Music Demos" (Teensville) contains a selection of 35 early-sixties
songwriter demos, recorded while she was a staff writer at Metric Music,
the song-publishing arm of Liberty records.
I'll always think of you
The tender love we knew
But somehow, I'll get through
#12) 4 Seasons, The, Featuring the "Sound" of Frankie Valli: "Opus 17 (Don't
You Worry 'Bout Me)" (1966) [13] {-}
If we meet on the street
And a little bitta tear rolls down my cheek
Please don't think it's because I'm blue
Or that I'm still in love with you

And when I'm old and gray
These are the words I'd like to hear him say
Yes I would, yes I would
#14) Kilgore, Theola: "This Is My Prayer" (1963) [60] {-}
JI: This great 45 used to be commonly available at Finnish second-hand
stores during the 1980s when I first started out looking for records.
And let's get together
Let's get together right now
Let's get together
I need your company
Well count on me
#15) Lance, Major: "Hey Little Girl" (1963) [13] {12}
I joke around at a party when you are there
But you don't laugh, you don't look, you just don't care
#16) Lewis, Gary, and The Playboys: "Everybody Loves A Clown" (1965) [4] {-}
In chapter three remember the meaning of romance
#17) Monotones, The: "Book Of Love" (1958) [5] {3}
You're my darling the only one I'm dreaming of
I've gotta make you mine
Cause you're the only one I'll ever love-ove-ove-ove
#18) Nelson, Rick: "Everlovin'" (1961) [16] {-}
My tongue gets tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
#19) Presley, Elvis, with The Jordanaires: "All Shook Up" (1957) [1] {1}
I miss the wooden kitchen floor
Painted brown to match the old back door
In my old Kentucky home where I belong
#20) Rascals, The: "Carry Me Back" (1969) [26] {-}
Everyday my friends say
I'm just a fool to fall in love
To them it seems ain't very cool
But I don't care what they say
I just can't resist
#21) Roe, Tommy: "Heather Honey" (1969) [29] {-}
I lost him once through friends' advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
#22) Supremes, The: "Back In My Arms Again" (1965) [1] {1}
I have nothing to hope for
I have nothing to cling to
Life for me has no meaning, darling
If I have to live it without you
#23) Tillman, Bertha: "Oh My Angel" (1962) [61] {-}
MW: "Oh My Angel" has always been a particular favorite of mine. My
memory (always suspect) says that I heard it on radio here locally
(Cleveland) more that its chart position would indicate. Might be due
to our proximity to Pittsburgh where it was one of those "Porky"
favorites. There is a (sort of) answer song to this; "Tarnished Angel"
by Anita May. Pretty much the same melody (and same author credit),
but not issued until six years later.
I never felt this way before
It's a feeling that I can't explain
There's one thing that I know for sure
I can tell you're feeling it too
#24) Yellow Balloon, The: "Yellow Balloon" (1967) [25] {-}
VS: Don Grady (of My Three Sons TV) was in the group to help promote
the song; and like Napoleon XIV's "They're Coming to Take Me Away
(Ha Ha)", the flip side of the record is the same song played
backwards.
Light, light up your face with gladness
C'mon, hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
#25) Yuro, Timi: "Smile" (1961) [42] {-}
VS: written by Charlie Chaplin
Editor: Charlie Chaplin wrote the melody for the 1936 film Modern Times;
the lyrics were added in 1954, with the first version by Nat "King" Cole.
A change has come over me
My heart beats impatiently
Just can't wait (can't wait) til tonight
Cause I know he's gonna hold (gonna hold) me tight
#T1) Tina Britt: "The Real Thing" (1965) [103] {20}
JI: Also recorded by Betty Everett and the Chiffons.
BS: This song was featured in the movie "The In Crowd" which parodied
the great and recently departed Philly disc jockey Jerry Blavat. I
highly recommend watching this movie if you get the chance. It was
shown once on TMC and hopefully will be shown again.
I know (I know) that you care for me
I can see it in your eyes
You can't hide your love for me
I can hear it when you sigh
#T2) Shirley Ellis: "Shy One" (1964) [130] {33}
