Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #447
Recordings #01-25 were from 1955 through 1969
Due 5:00 PM EDT (GMT-4) on Tuesday, Apr. 30, 2024
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know the feeling of a broken romance
I know the yearning to beg for a chance
#01)
Gonna love you 'til the day I die
Wanna spend every day with you
Don't they know the way they make me cry
When they carry on like they do
#02)
You can always hear me say
Hey hey hey
#03)
No one treats me the way you do
I just want you to hold my hand
And tell me I'm your lovin' man
#04)
Though the melody dies
The song lingers on
And a thousand goodbyes
Won't convince me you're gone
#05)
I call her name
And all I hear is ...
#06)
Think of all the fun you had
When you and Dad
Would cut a rug
Then a kiss and a hug
#07)
If you have known only tears of sorrow
And you cry out for a glad tomorrow
#08)
I must confess you're not to be blamed
For being caught in those boys' vicious games
This time, I won't let you go back
Never again, my dear, yes, in fact
#09)
Outdoor movies are my speed
Go to drive-ins for a feed
#10)
I know, I know, I know there must be someone somewhere
Someone that must feel the same
And will lay all claim to this love of mine
#11)
But she sure looks different than the way she looked before
#12)
So you talked to my girl
When I don't want you to (want you to)
Just the thought of you holding her
When I don't want you to (want you to) won't do
No, no, no, it won't do, no
#13)
Early in the evening, all week long
Sit on a stoop and sing your little song
Cry on your pillow when things go wrong
#14)
To see you walk out the door
Would be more than I could take
I wanna hide
Please let me hide
#15)
Say hello to Valerie
Say hello to Marian
Send them all my salary
On the waters of oblivion
#16)
There was a heart
So happy and so gay
Right from the start
That heart was mine
#17)
They went to their folks and told them
That someday soon they'd be wed
Their folks just laughed and called them kids
#18)
It seems life has played a game on me
I'm lost in a sea of misery
My love has turned his back on me
Heartache, why won't you let me be?
#19)
As I was walking by the shore
I happened there to see
A woman's form a-lying there
As still as still could be
#20)
Sometimes a man has too much pride to see
But losing your love, my darling, has opened my eyes for me
Darling, your going away
Hurts me more and more each day
#21)
If your first lover broke your heart
There's something that can be done
(You don't run, you don't hide, you don't run, you don't hide)
Don't end your faith in love
Because of what he's done
#22)
I've got some records here to put you in the mood
The phone is off the hook so no one can intrude
I feel romantic
And the record changer's automatic, baby
#23)
And surely, darling
The angels will sing
I'll tell you, darling
You're the queen of my throne
#24)
People keep happy
You'll be happier yet for there's help, you forget
When you are happy every place feels like home 'cause you're never alone
There's much to be said but it's all in your head
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
A-tryin' to find the girl to love me so
No matter where I go
No matter where I be
I just can't find the girl to satisfy me
#T1)
The fashion of passion I'd ration with caution
Because of the notion the potion of passion
Had never been passed to 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 diagram below has been designed to be printed using
a fixed-width font such as Courier. Copying and pasting the diagram into
its own document may prove useful in getting it to fit on a single printed
page.

Welcome to history class at Rock 'N Roll High, a class with 27 students.
The diagram below represents the layout of their classroom: a teacher's
desk up front (top left), a singled-out student's desk in the back (bottom
right), and the remaining 26 students' interlocking desks. These 26 desks
form a crossword puzzle, each "desk" being the set of entry squares for a
clue answer. Each of the 26 crossword clues is a student's name; the diagram
entry for each clue is the punctuation-removed first word (aside from "The")
of the highest charting '55-'69 Billboard pop chart single whose lyrics
contain that student's name exactly as given in the clue.
For example, if the clue to 18-Down were "Peter Brown", then the clue answer
"BALLAD" would be entered in the 18-Down "desk", since the highest charting
'55-'69 pop single containing the lyrics "Peter Brown" is The Beatles' "The
Ballad Of John And Yoko", which debuted in the Hot 100 in '69 (peaking at
number 8).
Note that in addition to a student's name, each clue also contains 3 or 4
other pieces of information: The first two are additional hints to the
single - its peak pop chart position and debut year. The third number tells
the solver the position in the clue answer of that clue's "special" letter.
Thus, in the above example, the full clue to 18-Down might look like:
18) Peter Brown (#8,1969,6)
where the "special" letter is the 6th letter of "BALLAD", i.e., "D".
Clues about singles that didn't crack the top 40 have a fourth piece of
information that provides an additional hint to the single.
When the 14 "special" letters of the Down clue answers are correctly
rearranged, they will form the name of the teacher, to be entered in the
teacher's desk. When the 12 "special" letters of the Across clue answers
are correctly rearranged, they will form the name of the singled-out
student, to be entered in the desk in the back of the room. This student
has been relegated to the corner for misconduct.
Your homework assignment is to correctly fill in all the desks.
Extra credit: Once the desks have been filled in, find each letter that is
in a square either containing or closest to a dot. Then rearrange these 17
"extra credit" letters to spell out the particular two-word reason for the
singled-out student's being sent to the corner.
