GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #454 (GOLQ454)
Welcome to GOLQ454.
Sitting here, trying to think of a theme. On this particular day, it's Amazon's
big sale, there's this football coach on TV, an interest rate is in the news.
Suddenly the math nerd in me wonders, just how many PRIME numbers are there
between 1 and 100. The number turns out to be exactly 25. You see where this is
going. You can easily find these numbers on the Internet.
This quiz matches Prime numbers to songs with the same Peak Position. However,
using all 25 Prime numbers results in too many obscure songs for GOLQ standards.
So adjustments are made. And since this is a music quiz first, I'll give some
hints.
1. The first 5 Prime numbers (2,3,5,7,11) have two songs each.
2. The 5 Prime numbers between and including 53-71 have no songs.
3. The other 15 Prime numbers have one song each.
4. A sub-theme connects the ten songs with PP 31 and higher. This should make
them easier to identify.
5. The tie-breakers will use the next two Prime numbers, 101 and 103, from the
Bubbling Under charts.
Once again, Bob Bluestein has contributed a puzzler for your amusement and
enjoyment.
Good luck and enjoy! And Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!

Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #454
Recordings #01-25 were from 1955 through 1969
Due 5:00 p.m. EST (GMT-5) on Saturday, November 30, 2024
-------------------------------------------------------------------
It's time you learned about the facts of life
#01)
Just call on me and I'll send it along
#02)
They said that love was a lie
Told me that I
Should never try to find
Somebody who'd be kind, kind to only me
#03)
And it burns, burns, burns
#04)
When love seems to let you down
When you can't turn around and run
You've got to stop, face the fact
That the heartaches have just begun
#05)
When I was just
A little boy of seventeen
I had a girl
She was my queen
She didn't love me like I loved her
#06)
Let me dream alone
And you see it never worked from the start
All I got for all of my love was a broken heart
#07)
I sit around a wondering
About your new affair
I should forget to remember
And remember not to care
#08)
Night time's the right time for huggin' and kissin'
But night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
#09)
I turn on the light, then while it's burnin'
I think of all the things that we do
And all the reasons why I love you
#10)
And through the window I ran
#11)
What are we living for?
Two rooms apartment on the second floor
No money coming in
The rent collector's knocking, tryin' to get in
#12)
I know you were sent from heaven above
To fill my life with your wonderful love
I know we'll be happy for eternity
#13)
How do you call your lover boy?
"Come here, lover boy"
#14)
I wonder if you know that you're putting on a show
Could you please walk a little closer?
#15)
Well it's one for the money, two for the show
#16)
Ours is not an easy age
We're like tigers in a cage
#17)
Traced her footsteps down to the shore
'Fraid she's gone for evermore
#18)
I was educated
At Woodstock
#19)
We meet every night at eight
And I don't get home 'til late
I say to myself each day
#20)
Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer end so quickly?
Was it somehing that you said?
#21)
Please say (that you're in love, in love with me)
Don't let me lead (this life, this life of misery)
Oh, oh, oh
#22)
Defenses down and you got me shakin'
You got me so that my nerves are breakin'
If you know me like I know you, girl
Your knees would bend and your hair would curl
#23)
Well you know he treats me bad, makes me sad
Makes me cry, but still I can't deny
That I love him, I really, really love him
#24)
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
Gazing at people, some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through, they can't understand
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end
#T1)
Hanging at the candy store
Tony's what I'm waitin' for
Told my Mama I was babysitting with Sue
(It ain't true)
Mama said "He's bad, he's bad
He's so bad he'll drive you mad"
#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.
The large square below represents a compilation CD of 16 golden oldies
on the Billboard pop charts from '55 through '69. Their titles are labelled
a) through p). Your task is to determine these 16 song titles. Below the CD
are clues A) to P) whose one-or-more-word answers' letters are used to fill
in the song titles. Following the clues is the Clue Answers section, which
contains lines with slots in which to put the answers' letters. The answers
should be entered one word per line, ignoring the irregular spacing between
letters. The letter and number under a slot indicate where that slot's
answer letter should be placed in the CD. For example, "a4" below a slot
would mean that the answer letter filling that slot should also go into the
4th slot (ignoring spaces) of song title a). On the CD, the letter under
each slot indicates which clue's answer that song title's letter comes from.
