GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #410 (GOLQ410)
Welcome to GOLQ410.
They say there are only three important anniversaries or birthdays in life:
33 1/3, 45 and 78. This is yet another anniversary quiz, lately they seem to be
a Hallmark of my quizzes. But while this is not one of those real important
milestones, it's a big one for me.
Twenty-five years ago in March 1996, I entered my first GOLQ (#89). The rest is
history. First, thanks to all the other QMs and GOLQ volunteers who have kept
this quiz running all this time. These quizzes have been an endless series of
gifts to me over the years. But enough.
This quiz has a theme, actually relevant to the occasion, and all 27 songs can
be linked to it. I tried to keep this quiz in the spirit of the quizzes from
back when I started. Like most themed quizzes, there are both well-known and
obscure songs.
And once again, Bob Bluestein has contributed another unique and interesting
puzzle for this occasion. I encourage all to give it a try.
Enjoy!

Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #410
Recordings #01-25 were from 1958 through 1969
Due 5:00 p.m. EDT (GMT-5) on Wednesday, March 31, 2021
And make the music mine
Play another set
So that I'll forget
#01)
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home
I dreamed about my mother
#02)
Ain't nothing in the world like a big-eyed girl
#03)
I realized the way your eyes deceived me
With tender looks that I mistook for love
So take away the flowers that you gave me
And send the kind that you remind me of
#04)
Murmur to the night to hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing and crying all alone
#05)
The finance company man was here
He took the TV and he took our chairs
I bought a candle that burns real bright
In case they decide they want to turn out the lights
#06)
I'd have sworn that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong and I find
#07)
Water all around it everywhere
Tropical trees and the salty air
#08)
Expresso coffee tastes
Mighty good
#09)
Oh won't ya come with me
And-a take my hand
Oh won't ya come with me
And-a walk this land
#10)
With eyes as black as coal
That looks down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
#11)
I don't need a fortune teller
I don't need a crystal ball
#12)
Well, I shake all over and-a you know why
I'm sure it's love, honey, and that's no lie
'Cause when you call my name
You know I burn like-a wood in flame
#13)
Now when your girl is gone
And you're broke in two
#14)
And skippin' over the ocean like a stone
#15)
Things we did together
You said they'd never end
Now and 'til forever
Oh yeah, that's what you said
#16)
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
#17)
A walky-talky, wind-up little China doll
That says 'wish you were here'
#18)
There was forty feet between 'em when they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped
#19)
Let's not be L-seven
Come and learn to dance
#20)
I walk in town on silver spurs that jingle to
A song that I had only sing to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass some time
#21)
All I need is your whispered hello
Smiles melting the snow, nothing heard
Your eyes go deeper than time
Say a love that won't rhyme without words
#22)
I'm not a piece of clay
To mold to your moods each day
And I'm not a pawn to be told how to move
#23)
You thought that I would need a crystal ball
To see you right through the haze
#24)
Now she wrapped him up all cozy
In a coverture of silk
And then laid him by the fireside
With some honey and some milk
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
It's time you walked away
Set me free
I must move away
Leave you be
Time's been good to us, my friend
Wait and see how it will end
We come and go as we please
#T1)
Promise her bracelets of silver and jade
Promise her servants, a butler and maid
She'll cuddle close like a hand in a glove
#T2)

PUZZLER
-------
Submission of an entry for this section is optional. Your participation
or performance has no bearing whatsoever on your quiz score or ranking.
This puzzle contains 26 "couplets". Each couplet contains two lines.
The first line contains underscore characters representing blanks to be
replaced by letters which spell out a clue answer. (For multiple-word
answers, between-word spaces are omitted for your inconvenience!) The
second line contains the associated clue (followed by the number of
letters in the clue's answer).
Once you have solved all clues, your task is to rearrange the 26 couplets
(keeping the line pairs intact) in alphabetical order by the first letter
of their clue answers. Then, reading from top to bottom, write down in
that order each letter that directly follows an asterisk. Those letters
will spell out a quote, with the letters of the quote's source and his
famous band interspersed. If solved properly, the quote will start with
an "R" and end with an "M". In addition, the ten letters that directly
follow number signs rearrange to form a related pair of words. Four
letters in the clue answers have been filled in to start you off ... the
rest are your problem!
Enjoy!
