Newsgroups: rec.games.trivia,rec.music.rock-pop-r+b.1950s,rec.music.rock-pop-r+b.1960s From: Rich Ardini Subject: RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #126 (GOLQ126) Message-ID: Organization: GOLQ, Inc. Date: Wed, 1 Jul 1998 22:01:15 GMT RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #126 Congratulations to OLDTUNES for winning their first GOLQ by two tie- breakers over the team of BARRY SILK, SCOOTER MAGRUDER, JOE HAERTEL AND JEANETTE McCAW. Both teams identified all 25 of the regular songs. GYPSY's CARAVAN and DELPHI TRIVIA CLUB tied for third with 480+. The team of LORI BAILEY/DAVID BAILEY/ED TOUTANT/DAN RECTOR/TOM ADAMS showed the greatest improvement from GOLQ 125, with a jump of 245 points, barely edging the GENASYS team's leap of 240 points. RANDY PRICE edged out first time participant PAT for the highest individual score, 470+ to 460+. And welcome back ANTONIO TORRALBA and team. Antonio recently returned from Kazakhstan, which unfortunately does not appear in any songs I know. The theme (reference to a city or country in the lyrics, title or artist) was identified, in some form or another, by teams too numerous to mention. The average score was a relatively high 337. The 45 entries was the most since sometime last year, and no one suggested sending the quiz to Uranus, or anyplace like that. I thank everyone for their kind words about the quiz. Jyrki and Pekka have already posted GOLQ 127. -- Rich Ardini _____________________________________________________________________________ After each score below are two characters representing the two tie-breakers: A "+" indicates a tie-breaker answered correctly; a "-" indicates partial credit; an "x" indicates a totally incorrect guess; a "." indicates no guess.

EJs: Produced by Leiber & Stoller. The first and only top 40 hit for the quintet from (not NYC!) Newark, New Jersey; the group had one other song that charted: "He Ain't No Angel," which spent one week at #100. "The Boy From New York City" was also a top 10 hit for The Manhattan Transfer in 1981. Finally made the plane into Paris Honeymoonin' down by the Seine Peter Brown called to say, you can make it okay You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain #02) Beatles:"The Ballad of John and Yoko" (1969) [8] {-} Only John and Paul play on this single. Ringo was filming the Magic Christian, and George was out of the country at the time. Released during John and Yoko's second bed-in for peace in Montreal. EJs: From the album "Hey Jude." RR: Banned on some radio stations for the blasphemous "Christ, you know it ain't easy". Others banned it for the lines, "What you doing in bed. We're only trying to get us some peace", which sounded like, "we're only trying to get a piece". TT: Recorded on 14 April 1969, the master being Take 10 (of 11). Mixed to stereo on the same day (their first release not have a mono mix). Released as a single on 30 May, backed with George's composition "Old Brown Shoe". Appeared on U.S. LP "Hey Jude", but not released on LP in the U.K. Sounds of laughter everywhere, And the dancing girls swaying to and fro I must declare my heart is there, Though I've been from Maine to Mexico But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day #03) Harry Belafonte:"Jamaica Farewell" (1956) [14] {-} EJs: The first hit for the Harlem-born Belafonte, an adaptation of a West Indian folk song. Backed by William Lorin's orchestra. His majesty, Prince Jones, smiled as he moved among the crowd Ten thousand electric guitars were groovin' real loud You want to find the truth in life, don't pass music by And you know I would not lie, no I would not lie #04) Eric Burdon & The Animals:"Monterey" (1967) [15] {-} EJs: Produced by Tom Wilson. The story of the June 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival. To the girl in 'Frisco, To the girls in New York To the girls in Texican, they gotta understand, That baby, I'm your man #05) Crazy Elephant:"Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'" (1969) [12] {-} EJs: Produced by Jerry Kasenetz and Jeff Katz. A "one-hit wonder," actually a group of studio musicians and singers; a touring group with the group's name was put together after the song's success. JL: Co-written by group member Joey Levine (earlier with Ohio Express) CO: Lead singer was Robert Spencer, who was a member of the Cadillacs. It might have been in County Down Or in New York, in Gay Paree Or even London town #06) Bing Crosby:"Around The World" (1957) [25] {-} EJs: Written by Victor Young, who won an Oscar for this song from the 1956 film "Around the World in Eighty Days"; the flip side is the instrumental from the movie, recorded by Victor Young And His Singing Strings, which was actually a bigger hit than Crosby's version. "Around The World" was Crosby's last non-Christmas song to make the pop chart; counting the pre-rock years, Crosby had over 300 singles hit the charts, starting with "Just A Gigolo" in 1931. "Around The World" also charted for two other artists in 1957, Mantovani And His Orchestra (an instrumental, Mantovani's biggest hit in the rock era) and The McGuire Sisters. Just tell her I went to Timbuktu Tell her I'm searching for gold You can say she'd better find someone new To cherish and to hold #07) Everly Brothers:"Take A Message To Mary" (1959) [16] {-} Oh, but he watches so sadly How can he tell her he loves her Yes, he would give his heart gladly But each day, when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at he #08) Getz/Gilberto:"The Girl From Ipanema" (1964) [5] {n/a} EJs: Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim; English lyrics by Norman Gimbel. Getz is tenor saxophonist Stan Getz; Gilberto are vocalist Astrud Gilberto and her husband, Joao, on guitar. Getz' only top 10 hit, it won a Grammy as Record of the Year. I followed you to Texas, I followed you to Utah (We didn't find it there, so we moved on) I followed you to Alabam', things looked good in Birmingham (We didn't find it there, so we moved on) #09) David Houston and Tammy Wynette:"My Elusive Dreams" (1967) [89] {-} EJs: Was #1 on the Country chart. Also charted for Bobby Vinton (1970) and Charlie Rich (1975). Several teams mentioned a Tom Jones version of this song. It is the special one It's never seen the sun It only comes out when the moon is on the run #10) Ben E. King:"Spanish Harlem" (1960) [10] {15} EJs: Written by Jerry Leiber and Phil Spector; produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. King's first hit after leaving The Drifters. Also recorded by King Curtis (an instrumental version in 1965) and Aretha Franklin (in 1971, the most successful of all the versions, peaking at #2 on the Hot 100). Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before She says love and happiness Can't live behind those swingin' doors Now she's gone, and I'm to blame Too late, I finally see #11) Jerry Lee Lewis:"What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made A Loser Out Of Me)" (1968) [94] {-} Second of Jerry's country music songs. Rod Stewart, who had a great drinking song himself early in his career, "I've Been Drinking", would also cover this. Follow me up to San Francisco, I will be guide your way I'll be the Count of Monte Cristo, you'll be the Countess May You can believe in Robin Hood and brotherhood And rolling a ball in the hay And I will be reading you an Aesop's fable #12) Mark Lindsay:"Arizona" (1969) [10] {-} Team Asia solved this by asking Mark himself if this was his song. EJs: Produced by Jerry Fuller. The biggest solo hit for the former lead singer of Paul Revere & The Raiders, his only million-seller. JL: Produced by Jerry Fuller, who also wrote #17. He's got you and me brother in His hands #13) Laurie London:"He's Got The Whole World (In His Hands)" (1958) [1] {3} EJs: The first and only hit for the 13-year-old English vocalist, a million-seller. A traditional African-American gospel song. With Geoff Love's orchestra. Also charted for the great gospel singer Mahalia Jackson in 1958. Oklahoma City, yes I know that she won't treat me cruel Denver, Colorado, never made me feel like such a fool These are only cities, but they're cities without you #14) Lovin' Spoonful:"Never Going Back" (1968) [73] {-} Written by John Stewart and produced by Chip Douglas, this song featured Joe Butler on vocals, who I always thought had the better voice. John Sebastian would soon leave the group, destined to be the only remaining 60s singer/songwriter without a tribute album (or so it seems). Joe's daughter, Yancy, is a U.S. TV and movie actress. I haven't eaten in about a week I'm so hungry when I walk I squeak Nobody calls me friend It's sad the shape I'm in #15) Dean Martin:"Houston" (1965) [21] {-} Now if you huff and puff and you finally save enough Money if you take your family on a trip across the sea Take a tip before you take a trip Let me tell you where to go #16) Roger Miller:"England Swings" (1965) [8] {-} EJs: Produced by Jerry Kennedy. Miller's last song to crack the top 10 on the pop chart; was #1 on the adult contemporary chart. I've a pretty senorita waitin' for me Down in Old Mexico If you're ever in Alaska, stop and see-ee My cute little Eskimo #17) Ricky Nelson:"Travelin' Man" (1961) [1] {-} Tom O'Connor: A&E recently did a 2 hr biography on the Nelsons. Ricky's daughter Tracey (Square Pegs, Fr. Dowling) was born 6 months after Ricky married. To avoid scandal, Ozzie got the doctor to make Tracey's weight less than actual & she spent time in an incubator to make her seem to be a premature birth! EJs: Written by Jerry Fuller. Nelson's last #1 song, and his final million-seller during the oldies era ("Garden Party," in 1972, was also a million-seller). Fuller wrote the song while waiting in the park for his wife; he had a world atlas with hin to help pick out different cities around the world. Fuller had Glen Campbell perform a demo of the song, and he pitched it to Sam Cooke's manager, J.W. Alexander, who wasn't interested. The story goes that Lou Chudd, the head of Nelson's label, Imperial, had the office next door to Alexander's, heard the demo through the wall, and rescued it for Nelson. "Travelin' Man" and its B-side "Hello Mary Lou," were the last recordings on which Nelson called himself "Ricky"; following this success, the labels would identify him as "Rick." When I was down in Alabama, where they say "you all" Well they dance all around until they have a ball Well, he saw Don and Phil, they were gathered around And then they looked at him, they called him Cathy's clown He said, now wait a minute, buster, you didn't call me right They said, what you trying to do, boy, start a little fight? #18) Orlons:"Not Me" (1963) [12] {8} Written by Gary U.S. Bonds and Frank Guida. Gary's version would bubble under at #116 for a week in 1961. Dick Clark objected to lyrics like "punch you in the lip", so they were slightly altered for the Orlons version. I love how your heart beats Whenever I hold you I love how you think of me Without being told to #19) Paris Sisters:"I Love How You Love Me" (1961) [5] {-} Incorrect artists guessed for this song included Bobby Vinton, Teddy Bears, Paul & Barry Ryan and the Chiffons. EJs: Produced by Phil Spector. The only top 20 song for the trio from San Francisco. Later a million-seller for Bobby Vinton, in 1968. Beamer & Trav: The Teen Queens released a cover in 1991/2. JL: Co-written by Barry Mann. They said he was a talent scout in a big, long fancy car He came through town, took my baby away Said he'd make him a star He took him off to Hollywood and not once did he write I saw his name on a marquee sign I went to see his picture last night #20) Linda Scott:"I Left My Heart In The Balcony" (1962) [74] {-} Written by Jeff Barry. And I'll be dancin' on a pony keg They'll lead you 'round that town Like a scolded hound With your tail tucked 'tween your legs #21) Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood:"Jackson" (1967) [14] {-} Also covered by June Carter and Johnny Cash. Yeh, the weeds were high, the corn was dry, When daddy took to drinkin' Him and Sally Walker, they upped and ran away Then Mama shed a silent tear, and promised 14 children "I swear you'll never see a hungry day" #22) O.C. Smith:"The Son Of Hickory Holler's Tramp" (1968) [40] {32} EJs: Produced by Jerry Fuller. The first hit for the Louisiana-born vocalist. CO: He was born Ocie Lee Smith. You might come out a winner in a bullfight in Spain Paint your face like an Injun, dance with some rain Get on your magic carpet, 'cause nothing can stop it #23) Trade Winds:"Mind Excursion" (1966) [51] {-} The Trade Winds were Pete Anders and Vinnie Poncia, who also wrote "The Best Part Of Breaking Up" and "Do I Love You" for the Ronettes. They also recorded as the Innocence ("Mairzy Doats",There's Got To Be A Word!"). Fame and fortune is a magnet It can pull you far away from home With a dream in your heart, you're never alone Dreams turn into dust and blow away #24) Dionne Warwick:"Do You Know The Way To San Jose" (1968) [10] {23} EJs: Written and produced by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. TP: Along with "Make It Easy On Yourself" (from the previous GOLQ) and "My Little Red Book" (GOLQ 114), one of Burt Bacharach's three greatest compositions. Cold, cold was the wind Warm, warm were your lips Out there, on that ski trail Where your kiss filled me with thrills #25) Andy Williams:"Canadian Sunset" (1956) [7] {-} EJs: Williams' first top 10 record. Backed by Archie Bleyer's orchestra. Also charted for Hugo Winterhalter and his Orchestra with Eddie Heywood (a 1956 instrumental that peaked at #2), Etta Jones (1961), and Sounds Orchestral (a 1965 instrumental). JL: Nice doo-wop version by The Impacts. ------------ Tie-breakers: ------------ Well I got it from the mountains, the mountains so high And I got it from the river, now the river is dry A-well, uh-oh, Cool, cool water, and it was not from the well, Well, a-well, I got it from the mountains, the mountains and the sea Now the good Lord gave this water to me A-well, uh-oh #T1) Jimmie Rodgers:"Woman From Liberia" (1958) A lost 45 for Jimmie. This was a regularly played song on radio when I was young, and I was surprised there is no mention of it in Whitburn. In an unsolved mystery, Jimmie was found with a fractured skull in his car in Los Angeles in 1967. He later recovered, but his career was effectively over. The song was also covered by Unit Four plus Two. Well I never answered his letter I just couldn't tell him that way No, I never answered his letter "Cause I didn't know what to say Now I'm going down to the station He'll be there at ten after two I'll show him the ring on my finger I don't know what else I can do #T2) Shangri-Las:"The Train From Kansas City" (1965) This song was the flip side of "Right Now and Not Later", but I remember it from their Golden Hits LP. As a touring act, the Shangri- Las managed to get themselves arrested in Florida for gun-running and in Philadelphia for kidnapping (the guy had hung a sheet out the hotel window saying "Help, I'm being held prisoner"). TP: A British group called The Simon Raven Cult did an answer song to this, "I Wonder If She Remembers Me", from the unsuspecting traveler's point of view. ________________________________________________________________________ This chart ranks the songs from most recognized to the least recognized.

I wasn't sure how well #05, #06, #18 and #25 would be recognized. I was surprised #03 was as well known as it was. -- Rich Ardini
