GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #434 (GOLQ434)
Welcome to the March edition of the quiz. And yes, there are a few tributes to
those who've recently left "Howard's Waiting Room" (as some wag dubbed it).
A fine puzzler by Bob Bluestein is also part of this month's fun.
Enjoy!

Recordings #01-25 were from 1956 through 1969
Due 5:00 PM EDT (GMT-4) on Friday, March 31, 2023
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
But my good times are all gone
And I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
#01)
Now his memory (whoa-whoa-whoa, he should've never)
Is down in history (whoa-whoa-whoa, he should've never)
#02)
Classify you, simplify you
Deny, defy, or crucify you
#03)
Let's get together tonight
I got some money in my jeans
And I'm really gonna spend it right
#04)
You know I'd be there, working at my craft
Had it not been for the draft
Dry up your tear, and feel no fear
You're here with me, like I'm there with you
#05)
I can't stay mad at her for long
Why should I want to fight
When I can hold her tight
I just don't care who's right or wrong
#06)
No other love could thrill me so completely
No other lips could satisfy me
#07)
And everybody says I'm quite insane
And someday I'll be going down the drain
I know they're right (but I don't care)
I feel no pain
#08)
You're treatin' me mean
You're makin' me cry
I made up my mind
To tell you goodbye
#09)
Where is that something?
Where is that someone?
That tells me why I live and die
#10)
They gonna throw a cross charge agin' ya
That'll be the very thing that'll send ya
#11)
Now listen to me, baby
I'm not destined for the Hall of Fame
And bright lights don't shine on my name
#12)
Tears are runnin', they're all runnin' down your breast
And your friends, baby
They treat you like a guest
#13)
I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny
You came along and moved me honey
#14)
The school board says he can't come to school no more
Unless he wears his hair like he wore it before
The PTA and all of the mothers
Say he oughta look like the others
#15)
Noble kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags
#16)
But your kiss is sweeter than the cake
That Grandma used to bake
#17)
Baby, don't believe I wear two left shoes
#18)
I never had a mother
I hardly knew my Dad
I've been in town for eighteen years
You're the only boy I've had
#19)
I got the same old friends
I got the same old sins
I tell the same old jokes
Get the same old grins
#20)
It was hard times
Needed something to ease my troubled mind
#21)
Tells you she is forbidden
Can you leave her there?
Can you leave her there?
Can you leave her there?
Can you leave her there?
#22)
Loving you the way I do
I'd take you back
Without you I'd die, dear
#23)
Think I'll go and have some fun
'Cause it's all for free
I'm not searching for a reason to enjoy myself
Seems it's better done than argued with somebody else
#24)
Must be you that caused this feelin' in me
You that fills me confidently
You that brings the best out in me
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
Oh yeah, and now I'm sorry, baby
I didn't mean to make you cry
C'mon, and now forgive me, honey
I'll never tell another lie
#T1)
Pretty soon, now
I'll go to sea
Then my pretty baby
Will have seen the last of me
#T2)

Submission of an entry for this section is optional. Your participation
or performance has no bearing whatsoever on your quiz score or ranking.
Please note that the grid and clue answers below have been designed to
be printed using a fixed-width font such as Courier. (Copying the text
below into a word processor and editing some may help get columns lined
up properly and put each section on its own page before printing.)
This puzzle is an acrostic. It contains a grid followed by 21 clues
(labelled A to U) whose answers' letters are used to fill the grid's
boxes. Each clue is followed by parentheses containing the number of
letters in the clue's answer, which can be one or more words. Following
the clues is the Clue Answers section, containing 21 lines with slots
in which to put the answers' letters (ignoring spacing and punctuation).
The number under a slot indicates where its letter should be placed in
the grid.
When completed, the grid will reveal a brief anecdote from a Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame inductee.
The first letters of the clue answers spell out the story's lesson.
