GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #409 (GOLQ409)
Welcome to GOLQ 409! This month's quiz has no specific theme, but there is one
"tribute song" among a balanced mix of Top 10 and Top 40 hits, with a few
stumpers thrown in for good measure. Enjoy!

Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #409
Recordings #01-25 were from 1955 through 1969
Due 5:00 PM EST (GMT-5) on Sunday, February 28, 2021.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We danced all night to a rockin' band
And fell in love with the surfer beat
#01)
I remember when we used to be in in our teens
Wearing bobby sox and old blue jeans
#02)
Four-speed, dual quad positraction
#03)
Is she fooling
Is it all a game
Am I the fire
Or just another flame
#04)
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
#05)
And I drive the main road
Searching in the sun for another overload
#06)
And then you say, "Hello"
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
#07)
Here's the moral and a story from that guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
#08)
You look so good to me
Ooh, ooh, wee
#09)
But I could not believe the things they said
Because my heart overruled my head
#10)
I sit alone most every night
Watch those trains pull out of sight
#11)
A tock a tock a tock a tock a
#12)
I will be bold
Brave and swift will I be
And I will be numero uno
#13)
Born in the heat of the desert
My mother died giving me life
#14)
He takes me where I get my fill
Want you to know I love him so
#15)
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
#16)
Say that you're my sweetheart
My one and only sweetheart
Say that you're my sweetheart, my love
#17)
Oh, but here for the moment
I can hold you fast
And press your lips to mine
And dream that love will last
#18)
At the last light of evening
I held you in my arms
Now when days grow stormy
And lonely for me
I just recall
#19)
Can you hear me singing a song
Loving a song, singing a song
Loving a song, laughing a song
Singing a song
#20)
Oh-oh when I feel your charm
It's like a four alarm
You make me thrill so much
#21)
In your hands my heart is clay
To take and hold as you may
I'm what you make me
You've only to take me
And in your arms I will stay
#22)
Run on, little girl
Run on your merry way
But don't forget
Everyone, everyone has his day
#23)
There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
#24)
There is someone who really needs you
Here's my heart in my hand
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
When your prized possessions start to weigh you down
Look in my direction, I'll be 'round
#T1)
If you don't give me no consolation
I'm gonna take it to the United Nation
I'm gonna see that you be back home
#T2)
