Subject: RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #146 (GOLQ146) Message-ID: Date: Wed, 22 Sep 1999 06:52:49 GMT Reply-To: Rich Ardini Organization: GOLQ, Inc. RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #146 Six teams tied for first with 500+. scores, in a somewhat strange end to GOLQ 146. In order of receipt, they were: 1) BARRY SILK, JENNY MCCAW, SCOOTER MACGRUDER AND JOE HAERTEL; 2) GYPSY's CARAVAN; 3) DELPHI TRIVIA CLUB; 4) RON ANDERSON; 5) JAMIE LUBIN; 6) MIKE GESSNER, JOEL LIPMAN, DAN DINARDO, DICK GREEN, JERRY STANSHINE. JORGE ROLDAN also identified all 25 regular songs. Only one team, ROCKAHOLICS ANONYMOUS, was able to identify the elusive T2. In all, 22 teams had scores of 400 or greater. The average score was a surprisingly high 362. I thought this was going to be a harder than usual quiz. Barry Silk has already posted GOLQ 147. Thanks to all for entering. -- 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.

The Hondells version was more popular on the West Coast. I keep listening for your footsteps Or your key turn in the door I sure could use your company But we've been through that before The winter's going to last a long time this year I've got lots of empty time to kill #07) Cyrkle: "I Wish You Could Be Here" (1967) [70] {-} Named by Brian Epstein, a co-manager of sorts.

Recently featured in soundtrack of "The People vs. Larry Flynt". What would have happened if you and I Hadn't just happen to meet? We might've spent the rest of our lives Walking down Misery Street #12) Jimmy Jones: "Good Timin' " (1960) [3] {8} I'll stage a ballet on a tabletop Command performance, finger size #13) Lulu: "Oh Me Oh My (I'm A Fool For You Baby)" (1969) [22] {-} Recorded in Memphis for Atco records and produced by Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd and Arif Mardin, who also produced the "Dusty In Memphis" album for Dusty Springfield.

Well girl, I've been torn up before But I can't handle that once more Well, I've been down for a long, long time And now it's time to reach my mind There's lots of pain upon this earth Girl, I've had my money's worth #17) Paul Revere and The Raiders: "Ups and Downs" (1967) [22] {-} Several: line 4 might be "ease my mind" When the night is warm, soft and warm I long for his charms I'd sing like a violin If I were in his arms #18) Debbie Reynolds: "Tammy" (1957) [1] {-} BS: Berry Gordy liked this song so much he named his record label "Tamla" after it (Joe) MG: originally done by Ames Brothers Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall To brown and to yellow They fade, and then they have to die Trapped within the circle time parade #19) Crispian St. Peters: "Changes" (1966) [57] {-} Written by Phil Ochs, and also recorded by Jim & Jean. Jim was Jim Glover, Phil's Ohio State roommate, and Jean was Jim's wife. First, there's laughter Then, those tears But I'll keep my head up high Although I'm kind-a tired My gal just up and left last week Friday, I got fired #20) Frank Sinatra: "Cycles" (1968) [23] {-} Darling, if you love me, I beg you wait a little longer Wait until I drive all these foolish fears out of my mind How I hope and pray that our love will keep on growing stronger #21) Terry Stafford: "Suspicion" (1964) [3] {-} On the Billboard chart of April 4, 1964, the Beatles set a record by placing songs in positions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Several: These lyrics don't completely match to the Terry Stafford 45. My apologies. You know, that ain't no way to do You didn't act like that when you had it home behind closed doors All right, Now you act like you're ashamed about her Or you don't want nobody to know she's yours That's all right, you just walk on, baby #22) Joe Tex: "Skinny Legs And All" (1967) [10] {2} A live recording. I'd hate to see 'em in the morning when they both completely flip He'll be sayin' "they cain't" She'll be feeling faint And I'll be kissing my husband's lips #23) Sue Thompson: "James (Hold The Ladder Steady)" (1962) [17] {-} RH: Sue was actually Eva Sue McKee, and was in her mid to late 30s during her recording career. All of her major hits were written by John D. Loudermilk. In a dimly lit corner in a place outside of town Tonight, we'll try to say goodbye again But I know it's not over, I'll call tomorrow night I can't let you go, so why pretend? #24) Leroy Van Dyke: "Walk On By" (1961) [5] {-} A #1 country hit (19 weeks). Lonely, without you, baby Girl, I need you I can't go o-o-o-o-on #25) Walker Bros.: "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)" (1966) [13] {-} JR: Written by Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe, originally recorded by Frankie Valli. ----------------------- T I E - B R E A K E R S ----------------------- I'm the gu-u-uy who left you with tears in his ey-e-es You didn't answer my letters, so I figured it was just a l-i-i-i-ie Your hair's getting long, and your shorts Uum, they sure fit you real fine I'll bet you went out every night, even during the school time But this-a ti-i-ime, I'm not gonna count on yo-oo-ou I'll see you this summer, And forget you when I go back to scho-o-o-o-ool #T1) Beach Boys: "Girl Don't Tell Me" (1966) [-] {-} BS: Dino, Desi & Billy also had an excellent version of this (Joe) GY: Flip side of "Barbara Ann", also on "Summer Days (And Summer Nights)" album AT: One of the first songs recorded by the Smithereens WB: Brain Wilson wrote this song in reaction to the Beatles "Ticket To Ride", a song the Beach Boys admired. The verse structure and lyrical hooks are similar. There's no need to hurry Let your mind be faint of work and worry When the dance steps bend like this together I'm so sure we could go on forever There's no doubt without your lovin', baby I'm alone and on my own #T2) Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich: "Bend It" (1966) [110] {-] On the WBZ Top 30 chart (major Boston radio station) for 12/17/66, this song was #17 and rising. Then again, Damita Jo's "If You Go Away" was #15, and the entire SRO album of Herb Alpert was #2.
