Organization: Penn State University Date: Wed, 1 Jun 1994 12:58:53 EDT From: Ron Crandall Message-ID: <94152.125853RMC@psuvm.psu.edu> Newsgroups: alt.rock-n-roll.oldies,rec.games.trivia Subject: Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #60 (GOLQ60) GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #60 The Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz turns 60 today. Ironically, I heard on the radio that Pat Boone also turned 60 today (hope there's not too much correlation :-)). So put on your white bucks (or your head band and love beads, for the "younger" set), and take a trip back in time. As usual, there are 25 regular songs, followed by 2 tie-breakers. These 2 songs are not in the alphabetical mix with the other 25 but are alphabetized with respect to one another. For GOLQ60, the tie-breakers are songs that were released during 1955-1969, but didn't hit the Top 100 on the Pop charts. I have tried, in this quiz, to play a limited version of the "mini- theme" game, that some of the other quizmasters are so adept at. Mini-themes may provide additional clues for identifying songs. I would caution that some of the songs do not fit any of the mini-themes, so don't put an inordinate amount of effort trying to make all of them "fit". Let me know if you think you've figured out any of my mini- themes. There has been no change to the general rules, which follow the quiz. Good luck! -- Ron ***************************************************************************** --> Answers must be received by 5:00 PM EDT on June 21, 1994. <-- 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 will be alphabetized using the word equivalent of the number. If a song has been done by more than one artist, 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, whether by the same artist or by a different artist. However, a different song with the same title may be used. 5) Songs WILL BE from 1955-1969 only, of course!! Re 1955: a record may have entered the charts in 1954 as long as it was still on the charts in 1955. Re 1969: a record entering the charts in 1969 may still be on the charts in 1970. 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 " "). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Crandall rmc@psuvm.psu.edu
