GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #423 (GOLQ423)
Welcome to GOLQ423.
My apologies. It's April Fools Day and I didn't have a theme. So I made up a
silly one and this is the result.
For #1-25, the songs are in pairs with one group of three. You should be able
to figure out the general theme, but not all pairs have the exact same
relationship. For the group of three, you will know them when you see (or
hear) them. The tie-breakers aren't paired, but they both support the theme.
And like all themed quizzes, there a few songs that might be a bit obscure.
And once again, Bob Bluestein has contributed a puzzler.
Enjoy!

Due 5:00 PM EDT (GMT-4) on Saturday, April 30, 2022.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
No broken hearts for us
'Cause we love each other
And with our faith and trust
There could be no other
#01)
Then let me know
If you don't feel that your love is real
Tell me, although you'll hurt me so
Funny how a word can mean everything
#02)
Wish they hadn't seen you walk away
And heard me beg you "Stay, please stay"
Why, why did we choose this crowded place
They all know it 'cause I show it in my face
#03)
The lights, so much brighter there
#04)
When I've got time
I'll slip you a kiss
I'll keep you around
You'll always be found
#05)
You've been fillin' me all full of lies
Tomorrow will not change your shameful deed
You will bear someone else's fertile seed
#06)
And when he's there with me
He can see that he's everything
Then he's tall, he don't crawl
He's a king
#07)
Friends won't learn the truth from me
I don't want their sympathy
You go to parties, dances and shows
I still love you
#08)
You took me by surprise
You didn't realize
#09)
From your love, I'll never be free
You'll always be a part of me
These memories just won't give me time
There's always something here to remind me
#10)
But someone picked you from the bunch
One glance was all it took
#11)
You think that you're such a smart girl
And I'll believe what you say
But who do you think you are, girl
To lead me on this way
Hey
#12)
And then we're lying, beneath a shady tree
I love him and he's loving me
It feels good to know he's looking fine
I'm so proud to know that he is mine
#13)
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me away
#14)
As you stopped to say hello
Oh, you wished me well
#15)
Well he saw Don and Phil as they were gathered around
And then they looked at him, they called him Cathy's Clown
#16)
As you turned you back on me
You hid the light of day
#17)
Got me a chimney made on top
Made from a human skull
Come on take a little walk with me
#18)
Can't you see
I'm under your spell
By the look in my eyes
Can't you tell, can't you tell
#19)
The times you didn't show up
The time you didn't call
Who was left alone through it all
#20)
But neither one will ever give in
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been
#21)
I went away to college
You said you'd wait for me
Then I got your letter
Asking me to set you free
#22)
No matter what you do
Someday when life is through
They're gonna bury you
Beneath the cold, cold ground, girl
Big or small or short or fat or tall
It's gonna get us all
Someday we're gonna fall
#23)
But I love you
Always treat me like a fool
Kick me when I'm down
That's your rule
#24)
And I wish there was something you would do
To try to make me change my mind and stay
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
Everybody over at the Avalon Ballroom in the San Francisco Bay
Everybody have, have, have, have, have a lot of fun, I know
I can tell you they are feeling
Gotta try the feeling, baby
Gotta try, gotta try to feel it, you gotta
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa-a
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa-a
#T1)
One pair of matching bookends
Different as night and day
#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 a chain of 45 clues, all related to 45s. Your task
is to answer all these clues (excluding the word "The" from the very
beginning of any group names). In this puzzle, "charting" refers to
achieving a top 100 position on Billboard's U.S. pop music charts. Each
clue is followed by parentheses containing the number of letters in each
of the words of the clue's answer. After that there may or may not follow
in square brackets a "special" number which points to the position of the
"special" letter amongst the letters in the clue's answer. (For example,
"[6]" for the clue answer "She's A Fool" would mean its special letter
is "F".) Once the clues are answered, the special letters will spell out
(in the given order) Bob Dylan song lyrics apropos to the clues' answers.
