I'm posting a copy for Rick since his post doesn't seem to have made it out yet. /Rcc] RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #48 (GOLQ48) Congratulations to the team of Jamie Lubin & Mitch Mirsky for their victory with the outstanding score of 480. The team of Barry Silk, Joe Haertel, and "Scooter" Magruder also had an outstanding score. Very good scores were achieved by the team of Marc Dashevsky and Bob & Dave Bluestein, by Andrew Rogers, and by Ron & Sally Crandall (300 points is the somewhat-arbitrary cutoff for this distinction). Thanks to all who entered, especially a number of first-timers, who I hope will become regulars. Jamie Lubin has already posted GOLQ49.

This song was written by his wife, who was killed with him in a car crash 2/6/60. He co-wrote "Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)" and was a member of The Shields ("You Cheated," from GOLQ18), The Cliques, The Chargers, and Jesse & Marvin (Marvin Phillips of Marvin & Johnny).] Let me tell you that I never had it so good Yeah, and I know you never could Until you get hip with that jive #02) Bonds, U.S.: "Quarter To Three" (1961) [#1] {3} [This song and his first hit, "New Orleans" were credited to U.S. Bonds, while his subsequent hits were credited to Gary "U.S." Bonds. Full credit was given for either (since many references list him as Gary "U.S." Bonds for all his hits). This song is based on the instrumental "A Night With Daddy G" by the Church Street Five (the line following the above lyrics is "And take a band like the Church Street Five"). Barry/Joe/"Scooter" said that Gene "Daddy G" Barge played tenor sax for the Church Street Five, which was the band backing up Bonds (real name Gary Anderson) on his songs (he also played sax on Chuck Willis' "C. C. Rider," as mentioned in the GOLQ45 results). Jamie added that Gary was one of the writers; Gene Barge is also credited as he wrote "A Night With Daddy G." Tom O'Connor mentioned that Gary had a comeback hit around 1980/1981 with "This Little Girl."] Searchin', I'm always searchin' Hopin' someday I'll find Someone, someone to love me Someone who needs me #03) Burnette, Johnny: "Dreamin'" (1960) [#11] Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still, in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you #04) Charles, Ray: "Georgia On My Mind" (1960) [#1] {3} [Don Fausett said that this is the official state song of Georgia. The Barry/Joe/"Scooter" team stated that it was written by Hoagy Carmichael and Stewart Gorrell in the 30s. Jamie added in soundtrack of "In The Heat Of The Night," 1969. The song was a #10 hit for for Frankie Frumbauer in 1931.] Other girls may try to take me away (take me away) But you know it's by your side I will stay, I will stay #05) Clark, Dave, Five: "Glad All Over" (1964) [#6] [Jamie stated that it was written by Dave & lead singer Mike Smith. In Tuesday night's Atlanta Braves' 18-5 victory, one of the Braves' announcers said something like "As in that old Dave Clark Five song, Braves fans should be feeling glad all over." Maybe I should have sent him the quiz.] But I saw you late last night You were holding another boy tight Go ahead, explain But remember: if you lie The boogie man'll get you #06) Crawford, Johnny: "Your Nose Is Gonna Grow" (1962) [#14] [He was an original Mouseketeer and played Chuck Conner's son (Mark McCain) on "The Rifleman," 1958-1963. Jamie added that he later became a rodeo rider.] Memories are all I have to cling to (cling to) And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to (talkin' to) Well, I'm not thinkin' of a-just how much I love you (love you) #07) Darin, Bobby: "Things" (1962) [#3] [Jamie said that this was written by Bobby. He won the Best New Artist Grammy in 1959.] Worries worries pile up on my head Woe is me, I should have stayed in bed Can't get the car, my marks ain't been so good My love life just ain't swingin' like it should #08) Everly Brothers: "Problems" (1958) [#2] [They didn't play this in the San Diego concert I attended last month.] Forty kilometers in a leaky old boat Any old thing that will stay afloat When we arrive we'll all promote Romance, romance, romance, romance #09) Four Preps: "26 Miles (Santa Catalina)" (1958) [#2] {6} [The lyrics were a giveaway for those who know the metric system and marathoners, except that, as Ron stated 26 miles actually equals 41.8 kilometers. Jamie added that it was written by group members Bruce Belland & Glen Larson and that it was on the charts for 20 weeks.] The way you smile The way you hold my hand And when I'm down You always understand #10) Goldsboro, Bobby: "Little Things" (1965) [#13] [Jamie stated that this was written by Bobby and that it was arranged & conducted by Bill Justis (who did "Raunchy," a song that will never appear on a GOLQ). Three entrants guessed Connie Francis (without guessing a song).] Now here's a dance (wacka-do, wacka-do) Everyone can do (wacka-do, wacka-do) It's the hipsters' dance (wacka-do, wacka-do) And the square cats', too (wacka-do, wacka-do) Won't you take a chance (wacka-do, wacka-do) This is all you do (wacka-do, wacka-do) #11) Haley, Bill, And His Comets: "Razzle-Dazzle" (1955) [#15] I never kissed a bear I never kissed a goose But I can shake a chicken In the middle of the room #12) Jackson, Wanda: "Let's Have A Party" (1960) [#37] [Joe Haertel said it was originally done by Elvis Presley and that it was a hit for him in the UK. It was written for Elvis by Jessie Mae Robinson. Wanda was backed on this song by Gene Vincent's Blue Caps. The ("California Sun") Rivieras had a #99 hit with it in 1964.] The many ways you speak of love I've heard before But it sounds so good every time Please say the part I love just once more Darling, I'm so glad you're mine #13) John, Little Willie: "Talk To Me, Talk To Me" (1958) [#20] {5} [Ron stated that Norm N. Nite lists his real name as William J. Woods but that Whitburn lists it as William Edgar John and that Sunny & The Sunglows cover using the title "Talk To Me" charted at no. 11 in 1963. The UNM team also mentioned Sunny & The Sunglows' version.] Spinnin' spinnin' spin', spinnin' like a spinnin' top, Spinnin' spin', oo, spinnin' spin' Spinnin' spinnin' spin', spinnin' like a spinnin' top, Spinnin' spin', oo, spinnin' spin' A crazy little partner You oughta see us reel and rock #14) Little Richard: "Jenny, Jenny" (1957) [#10] {2} [One entrant gave "Roll Over Beethoven" as the answer. Chuck Berry's song, recorded a year earlier, has the lyrics: You know she wiggle like a glowworm Dance like a spinning top She got a crazy parter You oughta see 'im reel 'n' rock Jamie said it was co-written by Richard but didn't state whether or not Chuck was the other writer :-). Mitch Ryder And The Detroit Wheels had a #10 hit in 1966 with "Jenny Take A Ride!," which was a medley of "Jenny, Jenny" and "C. C. Rider." They don't fit alphabetically and probably don't have these exact lyrics (but I gave 7 points for that song title).] I met you for the first time last night When I kissed you and I held you tight Baby, you made me feel all right So this is the song that I sang all night #15) Manfred Mann: "Sha La La" (1964-5) [#12] [Barry and Jamie each stated that this is a cover of the Shirelles' song. Barry also said that the Shirelles use (slightly) different lyrics. The Shirelles' version (titled "Sha-La-La") was a #69 hit for them earlier in 1964. This is the Manfreds' first GOLQ appearance since GOLQ02 -- the 46-quiz gap is a GOLQ record.] Into each heart, some tears must fall Though you love and lose you must stand tall 'Cause we all got to cry some time, I say sigh sometime Pull yourself together, no use crying forever #16) Marvelettes: "Too Many Fish In The Sea" (1964-5) [#25] {15} [Jamie said that it was written by Eddie Holland & Norman Whitfield. Ron added that Barry Gordy offered the Marvelettes the choice of this song or "Baby Love" and that because the Marvelettes rejected "Baby Love," it was given to the Supremes, who made it a no. 1 hit. Mitch Ryder And The Detroit Wheels also included this in a medley, "Too Many Fish In The Sea & Three Little Fishes," which charted at #24 in 1967.] Don't you know-oh-oh Nobody can love you the way I do Take the pain and the heartache, too Aw, Honey, you know I'll be around when you need me #17) Mimms, Garnet, & the Enchanters: "Cry Baby" (1963) [#4] {1} [Jamie provided the quote: "One of the most intense of pop hits, some time before Aretha Franklin & others redefined soul music"--Penguin Encyclopedia Of Popular Music. This was #1 on the R&B charts for 3 weeks. Janis Joplin's cover hit #42 in 1971.] Well, it's one, two, buckle my shoes A-three, four, get out on the floor A-five, six, come get your kicks Down at the corner of Lincoln and 46 #18) Nelson, Ricky: "Waitin' In School" (1957-8) [#18] {12} [The flip side of "Stood Up" (from GOLQ21). Three entrants guessed Carl Perkins (without guessing a song) -- probably because of the similarity to "Blue Suede Shoes").] Temperature's rising Fever is high Can't see no future Can't see no sky #19) Plastic Ono Band: "Cold Turkey" (1969-70) [#30] [Jamie stated that this was written by John Lennon. The Dutch Officials said that this was in the Dutch Top 40 for two weeks, reaching #39, and entered the chart on 6-Dec-69 (it first charted 11/15/69 in the U.S., making it one of the latest songs eligible for GOLQ use).] Ron contributed: A song about withdrawing from heroin. This incarnation of the POB included Eric Clapton, Klaus Voorman, Ringo Starr, in addition to John Lennon. John reportedly offered it to the Beatles, but McCartney turned it down. Angered by the rejection, Lennon refused to credit it to Lennon & McCartney, breaking a 13-year songwriting tradition. Lennon blamed what he considered a poor UK chart showing (no. 14) on the British government, which was one of his grievances that led to returning his M.B.E. medal to the Queen. Closer, my Dear come clo-o-ose Each day's like a melody Ah, when you're dancin' close to me #20) Sensations: "Music, Music, Music" (1961) [#54] {12} [Jamie said that it is a cover of Teresa Brewer's 1950 #1 hit, yet another example of a black cover of a white artist ;-). Teresa Brewer's version begins: Put another nickel in In the nickelodeon while the Sensation's inflation-adjusted version begins: Put another dime in Here the music play-ay-ay Jamie provided the following lyrics from Teresa Brewer's version, corresponding to the lyrics used in this quiz: Closer, my dear come closer The nicest part of any melody Is when you're dancing close to me ] There's such a thing as forgiving So why can't you forgive? There's such a thing as forgetting Can't you forgive and forget #21) Shepherd Sisters: "Alone (Why Must I Be Alone)" (1957) [#18] [Barry and Tom O'Connor each said that the Four Seasons covered this in 1964. Barry added that, in his opinion, The Four Seasons did a much better job. The Billboard Book Of One-Hit Wonders describes this song as "possibly the happiest heartacher to ever chart."] But you think I should be happy With your money and your name And hide myself in sorrow While you play your cheatin' game #22) Springfields: "Silver Threads And Golden Needles" (1962) [#20] [The Springfields were Dusty & Tom (her brother) Springfield and Tom Feild ("i" before "e" except after "F"). Dusty and Tom's real names were Mary and Dion O'Brien.] Snuggling in the car Your wish upon a star Whisp'ring on the phone Your kiss when we're alone #23) Stevens, Connie: "Sixteen Reasons" (1960) [#3] {10} [Jamie stated that this song was on the charts for 24 weeks. Connie Stevens' real name was Concetta Ann Ingolia. She acted on "77 Sunset Strip" and as Cricket Blake in "Hawaiian Eye." This song was a #65 hit in 1976 for LaVerne & Shirley, a version that I've never heard and am not sure I want to.] (Dum dum dum dum) Maybe tomorrow (Dum dum dum dum) Maybe in time (Dum dum dum dum) I'll find an angel (Dum dum dum dum) Who wants to be mine (Dum dum dum dum) Someone who needs me (Dum dum dum dum) Like I'm needing you (Dum dum dum dum) Someone to love me and to always be true #24) Tillotson, Johnny: "Without You" (1961) [#7] Ah, my Mama, move up (first step) Honey move back (second step) Shuffle to the left (third step) Wobble to the right (fourth step) #25) Wilson, Jackie: "Baby Workout" (1963) [#5] {1} [Jamie stated that it was co-written by Jackie. It was #1 on the R&B charts for 3 weeks.] ______________________________________________________________________________ tie breakers: I tried my luck with Lucy I messed around with Mary Jane (Mary Jane?!) Well-a, when I got through with Lucy I was walkin' with a cane #TB1) Dominoes: "Can't Do Sixty No More" (1955) [#NC] [Only "Scooter" Magruder got this one. It was a playful follow-up to their "Sixty Minute Man" (from GOLQ36). The Du-Droppers recorded a different song by the same name in 1952 -- fortunately, no one gave them as the artist.] Because I give you all of my money Girl, but you just don't treat me right You like to ball in the morning Don't come back till late at night #TB2) Price, Lloyd: "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" (1952) [#NC] {1} [Jamie stated that it was on R&B charts for 26 weeks, 7 of them as #1, that it was written by Lloyd as an advertisement for a local radio station, and that the New Orleans studio sound was by Dave Bartholomew & a pianist that might have been Fats Domino. Barry and Don stated that it was Fats on the piano. This song was a #47 hit for Gary Stites in 1960 and a #41 hit for the Buckinghams in 1967. Their versions could have been used on the regular part of the quiz, but I thought those versions were too obscure (even though the Buckingham's version was the first one I knew). Elvis also recorded it, on his first album (in 1956).] ______________________________________________________________________________ This chart ranks the songs/artists from most recognized to least recognized. The second number on the line denotes the average number of points scored on that song (total points divided by number of entrants, to 1 decimal place). For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale. Rank Avg.

I also expected "Quarter To Three" to have done better, but both of these songs have lyrics that may not be easy to understand. Additionally, I expected "Talk To Me, Talk To Me" to have done better. I was surprised that "Sixteen Reasons," "Silver Threads And Golden Needles," "Things," "Let's Have A Party," "Alone (Why Must I Be Alone)," and "Your Nose Is Gonna Grow" were identified by as many people as they were. ______________________________________________________________________________ The remaining information was provided once again (sort of) by Jamie: From WCBS-FM NY/NJ/CT listener-voted surveys of the top 500 songs of all time: Song 1991 1983 1979 1972 *comp ------------------------------- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Quarter To Three #286 Dreamin' #415 #110 Georgia On My Mind #204 #413 #443 Glad All Over #218 #300 #479 #463 Sixteen Reasons #458 #472 Baby Workout #265 * compilation of all 10 top 500 lists (1972 & [1975 thru 1991--odd years]) ______________________________________________________________________________ From WCBS-FM NY/NJ/CT listener-voted 1992 survey of the top 101 artists of all time: #11 Bobby Darin #18 Jackie Wilson #38 Everly Bros. #43 Bill Haley & His Comets #45 Little Richard #67 Dave Clark Five #88 Ray Charles #97 Lloyd Price ______________________________________________________________________________ -- Rick Schubert (rick.schubert@SanDiegoCA.NCR.COM)
