Hello and welcome to oldies lovers world-wide.
So, there I was basking in the sun on my back porch while eating a Mars Bar
and a Moon Pie[Diabetes be damned!]; then I suddenly realized it was time to
create GOLQ 444. "Heavens Above" I shouted and reached for my keyboard,
and thus GOLQ 444 was born.
This is a hybrid quiz again, that is it contains both textual and audio
snippets of songs. At first glance, you may think this one is difficult.
While the date range for these songs is 1956 to 1969 a large number
of them were probably first heard on a radio that contained vacuum tubes.
About half the regular songs are new to a GOLQ. BUT - there is a theme
(all 27 songs) which you will determine early on. (You may have discovered
it already!) The theme is kind of wide ranging and in some cases it is
a bit contrived by being parts of other words. The audio snippets will
probably tickle the recesses of your oldies memory.
And "here's another clue for you all"; T2 is pretty obscure but it is
present in an audio format and continues my homage to Pittsburgh, PA area
music of the 60's.
You can listen to the audio snippets individually or download them
as a zip file at:

Best wishes to all for a happy and prosperous 2024.
Have fun everybody.

It's more than I can bear
When they start to stare
'Cause they think
You're too good to be true
#01)
A lovely girl with sunlight in her hair
And take the brightest stars up in the skies
And place them in her eyes for me
#02)

#03)
Must be those strangers that come every night
Whose saucer shaped lights put people up tight
Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home all right
#04)
Lyin' at my front door
Daddy's done turned salty
And baby, you made him so sore
#05)

Thou should always have faith in me
In everything I say & do
Love me with all your heart & soul
Until our life on earth is through
Oh how happy we will be

To the raft we can race
And for just a little while
I'll sit and pretend
That you're on a desert isle
#12)
I wouldn't try to own your soul
You can be free
I only want you here each night
Loving me
#13)
When the memories that linger in our hearts
Memories that make my heart grow cold
Well, when someday they're gonna live again, sweetheart
#14)
The stars are a-glow
And tonight
How their light
Sets me dreaming
My love, do you know
That the light in your eyes
Brightly beaming
I bring you and sing you
#15)
They'll twist and I'll twist
They'll shimmy and I'll shimmy
They'll fly and I'll fly
Well, they're out there a-havin' fun

She said, Please, Mister Earthman
Just one little kiss?
I said, Okay, okay, okay!
But then you go away
But when I finished kissing her
I had this to say
#21)

#22)
How about the astronaut on the ceiling
Whats your name
Quick Joey Small
And where you from Joey
A jelly jungle of orange marmalade
#23)
You can love me if you wanna
But I do declare
When I get restless
I've gotta move somewhere
