They only missed one tie-breaker. THE GYPSY'S CARAVAN placed second identifying all but 2 regular songs, including both tie-breakers. RANDY PRICE and IN-A-PRODIG-Y-VIDA (DAVID SCHRAGER) were the top solo entrants tied for third place along with ANTONIO TORRALBA's team. The DELPHI TRIVIA CLUB fell one point short of third place, winding up sixth. Many other teams had excellent scores in this medium-difficulty quiz. Close to half the teams scored 400 or more. Thanks to all who entered!

She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now #03) Beach Boys: "Fun, Fun, Fun" (1964) [5] {-} One of my favorite sixties groups. Supposedly, Brian Wilson wrote this song about one of his brother Dennis' girlfriends. Little girl, he's hurt you before But now he says you won't cry anymore Take him back, he'll kiss your tears away Little girl, he's coming home to stay And when you're scared now He'll be right there now #04) Pat Boone: "Beach Girl" (1964) [72] {-} Pat Boone does surf! Pat copies the Beach Boys' style on this one. And does a helluva good job too! Don't worry, this will probably be the last time Pat Boone will appear on one of my quizzes :-) While the socialites still look the other way It's instinctive stimulation you convey #05) Box Tops: "Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March" (1968) [28] {-} Some pressings of this record show title as "Sweet Cream Ladies". I'll never understand the way you treated me-e-e But when I hold your hand I know you couldn't be the way you used to be #06) Petula Clark: "A Sign Of The Times" (1966) [11] {-} Well my baby's number one but I'm gonna dance with three or four And the house'll be a-shakin' from my bare feet slapping the floor #07) Eddie Cochran: "C'mon Everybody" (1958) [35] {-} A native of Oklahoma City, Eddie Cochran grew up in Minnesota. He died in a car accident in England in 1960 at the age of 21. Today's the day We'll say "I do" And we'll never be lonely anymore #08) Dixie Cups: "Chapel Of Love" (1964) [1] {n/c} Is it really true that married folks don't experience loneliness? cc: Cole Younger's most despised oldie. Everyone is watching us We're the perfect couple, they say While the crowd is watching us Please don't give our secret away #09) Patty Duke: "Say Something Funny" (1965) [22] {-} Can you guess what that secret might be? Ridin' high, when I was king Played it hard and fast 'cause I had everything You walked away, warned me then But easy come and easy go and it won't end #10) 4 Seasons featuring the "sound" of Frankie Valli: "Beggin'" (1967) [16] {-} Knockin' on the back door Climbing through the window Hubby's gone away And while the cat's away The mice are gonna play #11) Herman's Hermits: "Dandy" (1966) [5] {-} LE: "Dandy" was written by Ray Davies of the Kinks, and was first recorded by the latter on their "Face to Face" album The sky is falling The ocean is calling The world is turning round and round #12) Magic Mushrooms: "It's-A-Happening" (1966) [93] {-} A very strange psychedelic-styled song, indeed. Written and produced by Sonny Casella of Philadelphia. Although this is a somewhat hard-to-get record, it appears on Rhino's "Nuggets" boxed set. Can't trust that day #13) Mamas & The Papas: "Monday, Monday" (1966) [1] {-} I believe these lyrics are the shortest lyrics I have ever used for a song in any of my GOLQs. And it turns out that this song was among the easiest to identify! Now today I'm thinking About the ninth of June I found my friend and my baby At the Golden Spoon He jumped off the stool And come at me with a knife Said "We both can't have her, so fight for your life" #14) Guy Mitchell: "Ninety Nine Years (Dead or Alive)" (1956) [23] {-} Hey baby if you're all alone Maybe you'll let me walk you home #15) Chris Montez: "Let's Dance" (1962) [4] {15} Chris was a protege of Ritchie Valens. This was his biggest hit. I've stood upon the pyramids of Egypt Far away across the ocean blue I've seen the island beauties of Hawaii #16) Rick Nelson: "A Wonder Like You" (1961) [11] {-} DS: First single released as "Rick" Nelson. I feel there's something on your mind Every time I hold you tight When we kiss and say goodnight I feel that something is wrong #17) Wayne Newton: "Comin' On Too Strong" (1965) [65] {-} You might be asking yourself, what's a Wayne Newton song doing on Barry's quiz? Well, here's another song done in "surf style" -- vocal backing by Bruce (Johnston) and Terry (Melcher) no less. When I first heard this, I just could not believe it was a Wayne Newton record. What a pleasant surprise and great song! See the neon sign Kids just stand in line Money clenched in hand They wanna hear that band #18) Ohio Express: "Down At Lulu's" (1968) [33] {-} Bubblegum group from Mansfield, Ohio. For it's true You are my destiny #19) Platters: "Only You (And You Alone)" (1955) [5] {1} R&B group from Los Angeles, formed in 1953. Made up my mind to be careful Made up my mind to beware I was all right until Saturday night I met a gal with the goldenest hair #20) Jimmie Rodgers: "Oh-Oh, I'm Falling In Love Again" (1958) [7] {19} Do you get your kicks when you see men cry? Is this the way you like to get your high? #21) Standells: "Why Pick On Me" (1966) [54] {-} Written and produced by Ed Cobb of the Four Preps. IMHO, this was the best of their charted hits. Lead singer and drummer Dick Dodd was an original Mouseketeer on TV's "The Mickey Mouse Club". Close your eyes girl Look inside girl Let the sound take you away #22) Steppenwolf: "Magic Carpet Ride" (1968) [3] {-} You said loving you would make life beautiful With each passing day But as soon as love came into my heart You turned and you walked, just walked away #23) Supremes: "Love Is Here And Now You're Gone" (1967) [1] {1} LE: Their ninth recording to reach #1 on US Pop Charts. Now you speak your words warm and sincere And lets me know that your love is near A pretty face you may not possess But what I like about you is your tenderness #24) Temptations: "Beauty Is Only Skin Deep" (1966) [3] {1} You got soul, too much soul Foxy clothes, the cutest nose A groovy set There's nothing fake about you #25) Brenton Wood: "Baby You Got It" (1967) [34] {30} Born Alfred Smith in Shrevesport, Louisiana. Tie-Breakers: Just make a figure eight And you sway with your knees Hey babe, you're doing great Now everyone freeze! Shang-a-lang shang-a-doo-doolang #T1) Andrea Carroll: "The Doolang" (1964) [-] {-} IMHO, this is one of the best girl-group songs of all time. Andrea Carroll had only one Top 100 hit, "It Hurts To Be Sixteen". She had also recorded the original "Please Don't Talk To The Lifeguard" (Diane Ray had the Top 100 version). Her real name is Andrea DeCapite. She is from Ohio and I imagine that "The Doolang" was a local dance there. Can anyone remember this song being played at record hops back then? JW: Andrea was from Cleveland, OH and took her stage last name from Gene Carroll, long time host of a local variety show. She appeared on it for years--every Sunday at 1:00pm!!!! "It's an amazon's choice" the deejay shouted All of a sudden the floor was crowded I thought the record would never end When I saw her dancin' with my best friend #T2) Dreamlovers: "Amazons And Coyotes" (1963) [-] {-} Big-time uptempo doo-wop styled regional hit in Philadelphia. The Dreamlovers were best known for providing background vocals on Chubby Checker's records. In case you're wondering, amazons and coyotes were references to gals and guys respectively. I happen to like this song, but here's a different opinion from a Univ. of Pennsylvania alumnus: JF: If this is right, I only know this because they used to play it ad nauseam on WCAU-FM in Philadelphia, when I was in college 27 years ago. What an awful song!! _______________________________________________________________________ This chart ranks the songs from most recognized to the least recognized. The third number on the line denotes the average number of points scored on that song (total points divided by the number of entrants, to 1 decimal place). For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale. Rank Song Avg.

My suspicion is that many people guessed it correctly. I would have also thought that #21 would have ranked higher. _______________________________________________________________________ ---Barry Silk (oldiesFan&hotmail.com)
