Welcome to the May edition of the quiz.
There are two themes in the quiz, each comprising 8 or 9 songs. One of the
themes will come as no surprise to regular participants.
I'm honored to host one of Bob Bluestein's fun & challenging puzzles for the

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
For in trying, all of my dreams might come true
Try to understand, you're everything I ever hoped for
#01)
Oh oh oh, baby, don't you know I'm human
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Some foolish thing, some little sinful thing I've done
#02)
Standing in the dock at Southampton
#03)
Sloppy shirt, old blue jeans
Dirty shoes, by all means
#04)
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go
#05)
But since we're not together
I look for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see
#06)
He makes me stay when I don't wanna stay
He makes me go when I don't wanna go
#07)
Every time we meet
My heart skips a beat
You're my first cup of coffee
My last cup of tea
#08)
First a boy and a girl meet each other
Then they sit down to talk for a while
#09)
Where have you gone now?
Off with someone new?
If you really love me
Let me be your fool
#10)
You're the reason I'm living
Please don't break my heart in two
'Cause the love that I am giving
Will always be with you
#11)
Thrills me so much
And somehow, somehow I just can't explain what happens
Every time our lips touch
#12)
I'm gonna treat you to a movie
Stop your gigglin'
#13)
I had the world when you were mine
But I threw it away
#14)
My baby don't buy me pearls
He's busy with other girls
#15)
There's a girl I know
Who makes me feel so good
And I wouldn't live without her
Even if I could
#16)
Just forget all the loneliness you've gone through
Ah, don't you fret
Now I'm yours to hold onto
#17)
I know I can't make you stay
And as you're walkin' away
It hurts me so
To see you go
#18)
She knows just how to make me laugh
When I feel blue
#19)
Girl, if you would listen
To what we have to say
We could stop all this fussin'
And we could do it this way
#20)
You call me every morning
And you see me every evening
And you swear that I'm the only one for you
#21)
Silent joys and broken toys
Laughing girls and teasing boys
Was I ever in love?
I called it love
#22)
And under cover of darkness
He made his way to the middle of the municipal park
And hid in the bushes
And waited for somebody to come walkin' along by hisself in the dark
#23)
Your love is fading, I can feel your love fading
Girl, it's fading away from me
'Cause your touch, your touch has grown cold
As if someone else controls your very soul
#24)
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
Street lights share their hollow glow
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Still one place to go
#T1)
All day long we're workin' hard
Clean the farm, clean up yard
Now it's time to take a chair
#T2)

PUZZLER
-------
DEFENDING THE KING
Submission of an entry for this Puzzler is optional. Your participation or
performance has no bearing whatsoever on your quiz score or ranking.
Note that the diagram below has been designed to be printed using a
fixed-width font such as Courier.
Your task is to solve the clues below and place their answers - one letter
per square, excluding blanks and punctuation - appropriately in the diagram.
Clue answers are linked in the given clue order head-to-tail in the diagram,
i.e., the square holding the last letter of any clue answer is the square
holding the first (same) letter of the next clue answer. An asterisk marks
each square where two answers link up. Squares where two pairs of answers
link up have two asterisks. (Many other squares in the diagram are also used
by more than one answer.) The middle square (marked with double lines) is
where the chain both begins and ends. Every answer's letters must be entered
in a straight line in any of eight directions - heading to the north, south,
east, west, northeast, southeast, northwest, or southwest. To add to the
difficulty, four clue answers are special and should not be added to the
diagram at all; they are simply skipped. It is up to the solver to determine
which four these are. Solving Clues 0 to 60 is intended to be difficult, but
you just might get by with a little help from your friends (or reference
materials). Unlike a 409 though, don't expect to go from 0 to 60 in 4
seconds flat!
When all clue answers are correctly entered, some of the diagram's squares
will contain an "E" (for "Elvis") but no asterisk. For each such square,
mark down the prearranged outside-the-diagram "border letter" physically
closest to it. (For example, the border letter nearest the fourth square in
the third row is "O".) Then rearrange these associated border letters into
two words which will name the source of the following quote in defense of
The King:
"A lot of people have accused Elvis of stealing the black man's music, when
in fact, almost every black solo entertainer copied his stage mannerisms
from Elvis."
Some pairs of abutting squares in the unfilled diagram may provide a clue to
the quote's source.
Good luck!
