Subject: CORRECTION(S) to Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz 238 (GOLQ238)
**** REVISED VERSION (11/3/06) ****
Due to an egregious error by the GOLQ238 Research Department (uh, that would
be yours truly), the original song I used for #T2 was ineligible. The
updated version of the quiz, with a different song #T2, appears below.
Thanks to Mike Weaver for pointing out this error!

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #238 (GOLQ238)
Welcome to the November edition of the quiz. Seasonal public-service
reminders: Don't forget to vote, rake your leaves to the curb, and most of
all, no blindly searching for lyrics on the Internet. Ignoring these
reminders will cause you to get demoted back to the "children's table" at
Thanksgiving!
Enjoy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good and bad
Big or small
In and out
None at all
#01)
You can make this beggar a king
A clown or a poet
#02)
It's a cozy table, isn't it?
And champagne, my dear!
#03)
Meanwhile, I was thinkin' ...
She's in the mood, no needin' break it
I got a chance, I oughtta take it
#04)
I'll make you happy
You'll never be blue
You'll have no sorrow
'Cause I'll always be true
#05)
That's what the good book says
#06)
Poor Otis, dead and gone
Left me here to sing his song
Pretty little girl with the red dress on
Poor Otis, dead and gone
#07)
Here comes Boy
Singing a song
And Cheetah listening
Says he's kinda slow
#08)
Now, listen everybody
I want you to listen to what I say, now, now, now
Everybody's gonna do it
All across the U.S.A.
#09)
I wonder if I keep on praying
Will our dreams be the same?
I wonder if you ever think of me too
#10)
May others plan their future
I'm busy loving you
#11)
There's an island in the Caribbean Sea
Where the natives dance and rock with glee
#12)
Tell me the name of your sweetheart
Now, you're the little girl I used to chase around the block
#13)
There's a new dance on the streets and it's mean, baby, mean
(Mean, baby, mean, mean, baby, mean)
It wipes the African Twist right off of the scene
(Right off of the scene, right off of the scene)
#14)
Filled with regret, I come back begging you
Forgive, forget, where's the love we once knew?
#15)
Well-a who's that guy you've been seeing most every day?
He shouldn't be allowed to come and take my baby away
#16)
Once you get it
You never wanna quit
#17)
I'm looking at myself, reflections of my mind
It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind
#18)
Domino, Checker, and Presley
Help to make things right
#19)
Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man with great experience
I know you got you another man
But I can love you better than him
#20)
Don't let him tell you that he wants you
'Cause he can't give you love which isn't there
#21)
If they gave me a fortune
My pleasure would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow
And never mind at all
#22)
It's my thing!
I'm gonna do what I wanna do!
#23)
You say you never been kissed before
You always leave 'em standing at the door
And when they try to kiss you, you just say goodbye
You always tell 'em "no" and never tell 'em why
#24)
It's nothing like I ever thought it would be
Someone opened up a door for me
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
My girl says when I kiss her lips
She gets a thrill through her fingertips
#T1)
He told me not to worry
That my cavity just needed fillin'
#T2)
