From: rns@npg-sd.SanDiegoCA.NCR.COM (Rick Schubert) Newsgroups: rec.games.trivia Subject: Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #34 (GOLQ34) Message-ID: <5784@npg-sd.SanDiegoCA.NCR.COM> Date: 4 Nov 92 22:15:49 GMT Reply-To: rns@npg-sd.SanDiegoCA.NCR.COM (Rick Schubert) Organization: NCR Corp., Application Development Environment - San Diego Welcome to installment #34 of this long-running lyrics-quiz series. I won't make any predictions about the difficulty of this quiz, but I've attempted to select an assortment of songs that vary in difficulty. Now that the election season is over, I won't claim that this quiz will be all things to all people, but I hope there's enough variety to entertain you. After the 25 regular songs, there will be 2 tie-breakers. These 2 songs will not be in the alphabetical mix with the other 25, but will be alphabetized with respect to one another. What these 2 songs have in common is that they do not fit the eligibility requirements for inclusion in the regular part of the quiz: either they were released prior to 1955 or else they were released between 1955 and 1969 but did not hit the Top 100 on the Pop chart; although there may have been charted covers of these songs, I believe these early versions to be much more well known. There have been no changes to the general rules. Answers must be received by 5:00 PM PST on Tuesday, November 24, 1992. Try to e-mail early since I don't know how long it takes to get here.

When I don't have access to the original 45, my source is Joel Whitburn's "Top Pop Singles 1955-1990" unless I have evidence indicating that source is incorrect. Songs should be alphabetized according to the following rules, unless I've made a mistake: Names beginning with "Mc" are alphabetized as if they were spelled "Mac". Names beginning with "St." are alphabetized as if they were spelled "Saint". Artists' names that begin with a number or with a punctuation symbol will be alphabetized using the word equivalent of the number or symbol. If a song has been done by more than one artist who fit the criteria of this quiz, the correct response will be the one that fits alphabetically. If you don't know which one fits alphabetically because you have not identified adjoining songs, you may include multiple artists in your entry, but you will only receive credit if you include the one that fits alphabetically. If a lead singer's name is used as part of the artist's name, the following alphabetization rules apply: - If the last name is used as in "Firstname Lastname & the Group" it will be alphabetized under Lastname. - If the last name is used as in "the Group featuring Firstname Lastname" it will be alphabetized under Group. - If the last name is not used as in "Firstname & the Group" it will be alphabetized under Firstname. - If no last name is used, but a nickname is used before the firstname as in "Nickname Firstname & the Group" is alphabetized under Nickname. For example: Artist Alphabetized by "The Crickets featuring Buddy Holly" "Crickets" "Buddy Holly & the Crickets" "Holly" "Little Anthony & the Imperials" "Little" "Little Richard" "Little" "Little Peggy March" "March" "Martha & the Vandellas" "Martha" 3) Artists may be repeated from previous Golden Oldies quizzes. An artist will not be used more than once in any given quiz. 4) Songs will not be repeated from previous Golden Oldies quizzes. 5) Songs WILL BE from the period 1955-1969 only, of course!! 6) Songs are singles that hit the Top 100 on the American Pop Charts. Although most songs will have made the top twenty-five or so, expect a couple of songs in the quiz that will challenge the experts out there. 7) There are 25 songs to identify; each song is worth 20 points. Each Title is worth 10 points; each Artist is worth 10 points. A perfect score is 500 points. You should try to get as close as possible to the way it appears on the label; partial credit will be given for imperfect answers. 8) Append your answers to the lines that begin "#dd)", where "dd" are two digits. You may delete the original lyrics or not; I will look for lines beginning with those 4 characters (possibly preceded by ">" and/or " "). 9) Please answer the questions that follow the tie-breakers. _____________________________________________________________________________ -- Rick Schubert (rick.schubert@SanDiegoCA.NCR.COM)
