From: T P Uschanov Newsgroups: rec.music.rock-pop-r+b.1950s,rec.music.rock-pop-r+b.1960s,rec.games.trivia Subject: GOLQ110: Positively Final Results Date: Tue, 15 Jul 1997 23:46:36 -0700 Organization: University of Helsinki Message-ID: <33CC6E4C.3E8B@cc.helsinki.fi> Reply-To: tuschano@cc.helsinki.fi I better post this before the GOLQ111 results are ready... I have two further corrections to make to the GOLQ110 results. First, Michael Flint achieved a score of 280, not 180 as the previous results had it. His revised score is: # on Pos Score ID Name & E-mail address team age(s) T13 280.. MF Michael Flint 1 45 Second, I was informed that besides The Gypsy's Caravan's entry, the entry of Curt Miller and Steve Potter was also lost when the system disk here died shortly after the quiz's deadline. I've added it to these, positively final results. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Once again, Barry Silk and his merry men were clearly victorious in what was a quite hard quiz, but not as hard as I'd have thought. Besides Barry's team, only The Gypsy's Caravan and Jamie Lubin's team managed over 400 points, but all the songs were identified by at least two teams. Some turned out to be surprisingly unfamiliar. Thanks to everyone for their entries and comments! -- T P Uschanov ______________________________________________________________________ There is a "+" after Score below for each tie-breaker answered correctly; a "-" indicates partial credit.

There were three guesses of "I Waited Too Long" by LaVern Baker. Great song, but to a desert island I'd rather take Banks's! I don't know why she's riding so high She oughta think twice, she oughta do right by me Before she gets to saying goodbye She oughta think twice, she oughta do right by me #02) The Beatles: "Ticket to Ride" (1965) [1] {-} Howard Teitelbaum: Recorded on 15 Feb 1965, in two takes. Mixed to mono on 18 Feb and stereo on 23 Feb. (A different mono mix, for the movie "Help!", was done on 15 Mar.) Released as a single on 9 April with "Yes It Is" as the B-side. Also appeared on the "Help!" LP, which was released on 6 Aug 1965. EJs & Co.: Written by John Lennon & Paul McCartney. From the album and movie "Help". The song was also recorded in 1970 by The Carpenters; it was that duo's first song to make the Hot 100. Give me just one more chance To prove my love is true You won't regret it, dear 'Cause I'll make it up to you #03) Nappy Brown: "Don't Be Angry" (1955) [25] {2} There were six guesses of mostly obscure Brook Benton songs, none of which I'm ever likely to use in a GOLQ! They're really rockin' in Boston In Philadelphia, PA Deep in the heart of Texas And 'round the Frisco bay All over La Jolla And down in New Orleans #04) Cat Mother & The All Night News Boys: "Good Old Rock 'n Roll" (1969) [21] {-} Cat Mother & The All Night News Boys were a Greenwich Village, New York, band who recorded around four albums in the late sixties and early seventies. Their first album, produced by Jimi Hendrix and kicking off with this song, will be reissued on CD on July 15. Only five teams out of 34 got this, although almost everyone thought they knew it was "Sweet Little Sixteen" by Chuck Berry. Pay more attention to the GOLQ rules: that song was recently used in GOLQ95, so it can't be used again until GOLQ145. Furthermore, the part of the song that resembles these lyrics (which also include a line from the Beach Boys' Berry rip-off "Surfin' USA") has already been used back in GOLQ02, so it won't be used again anyway! For I love a girl who doesn't know I exist And this you can fix #05) Sam Cooke: "Cupid" (1961) [17] {20} EJs & Co.: Backed by Rene Hall's orchestra. Recorded by a number of other artists: Johnny Rivers in 1965, Johnny Nash in 1970, Tony Orlando & Dawn in 1976, and The Spinners as part of a medley, "Cupid/I've Loved You For A Long Time" in 1980. Barry Chamish of Team Asia: I think the best version was Johnny Rivers's. It's funny, honey, you don't care You never listen to my prayer #06) The Crickets: "Maybe Baby" (1957) [17] {4} EJs & Co.: Written by Buddy Holly and Norman Petty; produced by Norman Petty. The story goes that this song was actually written by Buddy Holly's mother. T.P.: According to Holly's biographer John Goldrosen, what she actually contributed was the title. 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, now I know Now I'm so lonesome on my own #07) The Spencer Davis Group: "Somebody Help Me" (1967) [47] {-} So hear me now, I'm on my bended knees Thanking you for the many blessings that you give me And I promise you that I'm gonna take care of my sweet little girl With everything that's in me #08) The Enchanters: "I Wanna Thank You" (1964) [91] {n/c} Everyone that you meet, baby As you walk down the street, baby Will ask you why you're walking all alone Why you're on your own #09) The Everly Brothers: "Gone, Gone, Gone" (1964) [31] {n/c} Jamie: Written by Don and Phil Everly. Call me any time that you want me Any time that you want me And I think that you might You know how, how I love you, believe me How I love you, believe me If you want me, it's all right #10) Adam Faith with the Roulettes: "It's Alright" (1965) [31] {-} Adam turned 57 during this quiz, as Jamie Lubin noted. He's currently host of the financial TV programme, Dosh, on Britain's Channel 4. Play all my records, keep dancing all night But leave me alone for a while #11) Lesley Gore: "It's My Party" (1963) [1] {1} Five point off if you spelled "Leslie". Yes, mistakes like this happen all the time in rec.music.rock-pop-r+b.1960s, but unlike Allen "Alan" Klein, she doesn't deserve it. (; EJs & Co.: Produced by Quincy Jones. Gore's first and biggest hit, her only #1 song, both on the pop and R&B charts. Also recorded in 1981 by a British duo, Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin. Jyrki Ilva: Originally recorded as an album track by Helen Shapiro. When I was just a little boy I asked my mother what will I be? Will I be handsome, will I be rich? This is what she said to me #12) The High Keyes: "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)" (1963) [43] {-} The High Keyes were apparently a studio aggregation put together by New York producers, Bob Gaudio and the late Bert Keyes. EJs & Co.: Written by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans, it won the Oscar as best song in the 1956 movie "The Man Who Knew Too Much." Doris Day sang it in the movie and her recording was her biggest hit during the rock era, a million seller. Mary Hopkin also recorded it in 1970. "Que Sera, Sera" was the only recording by The High Keyes to break into the Hot 100. Lee Lester: This song was a huge hit in Australia in the mid 60s by a guy called Normie Rowe (from Melbourne). He started off as a telephone technician, and then became a teenage heart-throb here. He had a few number 1s, then his career got stalled when he was conscripted for Vietnam. Unlike Elvis, he didn't recover his career when he returned. He is still around the scene though, and has performed here in shows like "Les Miserables". Jamie Lubin: Coincidentally, on 6/6/97, these lyrics were sung by actor Tuc Watkins (as Dr. Pierce Dorman, on the ABC-TV soap opera General Hospital, just before he was murdered. You can see the little children all around You can see the little ladies in their gowns #13) The Hollies: "Look Through Any Window" (1965) [32] {-} EJs & Co.: Produced by Ron Richards. T.P.: My favourite Hollies song. Having been something of a teenage drummer myself, I really appreciate what Bobby Elliott does here. I tried my best to dig my inner me I walked on coals, my head below my knee #14) The Ivy Three: "Yogi" (1960) [8] {22} No more studying history And no more reading geography And no more dull geometry #15) The Jamies: "Summertime, Summertime" (1958,1962) [26,38] {-,-} EJs & Co.: The only hit for the pop group from Massachusetts. T.P.: This song is mentioned in my favourite passage in Richard Meltzer's classic 1970 book, The Aesthetics of Rock: Quine has noted, "The unit of empirical significance is the whole of science." The unit of rock significance is the whole of rock 'n' roll, and this is not merely the result of the failure of reduction, as Hegel's unit of historical significance as all of history seems to be. Just as permissible, anyway, is the Jamies' position in "Summertime, Summertime," which resembles Hegel's end of history, "No more studyin' history." I got me a complication And it's an only child Concerning my reputation As something more than wild I know it serves me right But I can't sleep at night Have to hide my face Or go some other play-ay-ay-ay-ay-ace #16) The Music Machine: "Talk Talk" (1966) [15] {-} EJs & Co.: Written by Sean Bonniwell, the lead singer of the group; produced by Brian Ross. The first and biggest hit for the Los Angeles rock quintet. Sippin' the soda, we got a scheme Somebody else plays the record machine It's so easy to reminisce When you listen to the Monotones singing this #17) Nino & The Ebb Tides: "Juke Box Saturday Night" (1961) [57] {-} Rick Schubert: Updated version of Glenn Miller's #7 hit from 1942, which was a takeoff of songs by Harry James and the Ink Spots. EJs & Co.: The song features stanzas from the rock 'n' roll classics "Book of Love" and "Get a Job". The only charted song for the New York City quartet, it's actually an updated version of the 1942 hit by Glenn Miller & His Orchestra, and the 1953 update of that, entitled "New Juke Box Saturday Night," by the Modernaires with Paula Kelly. Through my window I can see There's my best friend Willie, whoop, with my Millie Making out behind my back Like all the other wolves in the pack #18) Lenny O'Henry: "Across the Street" (1964) [98] {n/c} I wait as the days go by I long for the nights to go by I hear the knock on my door that never comes I hear the telephone that hasn't rung #19) The Rolling Stones: "Tell Me (You're Coming Back)" (1964) [24] {n/c} Wicked Boys: The first Stones record to chart in the USA. Cole of Cole & Cole: This was absolutely brutal. The cadence of the two pairs of lines is different, and the next line with the title is different again. I am grateful for oldies radio, which happened to play it while it was banging around in my head. But ... my copy (album - 'The Rolling Stones', side 2, cut 3, monaural version, has another unintelligible word in the second line: 'I hear the knock on my door, that [day ?] never comes' or 'that day'll never come'. There's a tambourine hit on 'come,' which hides the 's' at the end, if there is one. T.P.: I never heard that extra word in there. Do any of you know what it might be? I am just as steady as that clock on the shelf Maybe you're accusing me of what you're doing yourself #20) Frank Sinatra: "Hey! Jealous Lover" (1956) [6] {-} Saying goodbye at the station Summer vacation is taking you away #21) The Tempos: "See You in September" (1959) [23] {-} EJs & Co.: The only hit by this quartet from Pittsburgh. Backed by Billy Mure's orchestra. It was a much bigger hit for The Happenings in 1966, the first for that group. Howard Teitelbaum: One of the few cases where the cover is vastly superior to the original, IMHO. The way you stole my heart You know you could have been a cool crook And baby, you're so smart You know you could have been a school book #22) The Temptations: "The Way You Do the Things You Do" (1964) [11] {n/c} EJs & Co.: Written by Bobby Rogers and Smokey Robinson; produced by Smokey Robinson. The first hit for The Temptations. The song has been a Top 20 single in four decades: the Tempts in 1964; Rita Coolidge in 1978; as part of the medley "A Nite At The Apollo Live! The Way You Do The Things You Do/My Girl" by Daryl Hall and John Oates with David Ruffin & Eddie Kendricks in 1985; and by the reggae group UB40 in 1990. I could see right out my window, walkin' down the street My girl with another guy His arm around her like it used to be with me Oh, it makes me want to die #23) Them: "Here Comes the Night" (1965) [24] {-} EJs & Co.: Written and produced by Bert Berns. The biggest hit for the quintet from Belfast. Jyrki Ilva: Originally recorded by Lulu (with completely different arrangement). I guess she's gone to Frisco To dance him there #24) The Youngbloods: "Grizzly Bear" (1966) [62] {-} Barry Chamish: One of my all time favorites. T.P.: The Youngbloods at their most Lovin'-Spoonfulish. Don't take her love from my arms No, no, no, no, no Don't leave me now, for her love belongs to me #25) The Zombies: "Tell Her No" (1965) [6] {-} EJs & Co.: Written by Rod Argent, the group's keyboardist. Jamie Lubin: Rod Argent turned 52 during this quiz. T.P.: IMO, this song has one of the most haunting bridges (used in GOLQ36) in any pop song. Tie-breakers: Well, you put a nickel in the slot, you hear somethin' buzzin' Kisses while they're hot, five cents a dozen Up to my house, I've got something you've never seen #T1) Wynonie Harris: "Lovin' Machine" (1951) [-] {5} Yes, my nights are too lonely for dreams You're never coming back, so it seems I remember the time when your lips kissed mine Darling, why did you leave? #T2) The Nutmegs: "Ship of Love" (1955) [-] {13} ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This chart ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized.

I was also very surprised that three teams got a song as obscure as "Across the Street"! -- "I have tried too, in my time, to be a philosopher; but, I don't know how, cheerfulness was always breaking in." --Oliver Edwards T P Uschanov tuschano@cc.helsinki.fi +358 (0)40 584 2720 Visit my home page! http://www.helsinki.fi/~tuschano/
