RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #217 (GOLQ217)
Thanks to all for playing in GOLQ #217, and CONGRATULATIONS to the
ELEVEN!! teams that identified all twenty five songs in the main part
of the quiz. Additionally, seven teams identified both tie breakers,
making for a very top-heavy set of scores. Ron Anderson, the Village
Idiots, and Randy & Peter had flawless entries. As a discriminator to
avoid a seven-way tie for the top spot, we docked several groups for
omitting the Jordanaires from the Elvis Presley single, something we
probably would not have done if so many weren't all crammed at the top.
Our appreciation to those who, while not knowing all the answers, still
submitted an entry for the fun of playing. We were impressed with
Matthew who at age 16, identified as many as he did!
We hope everyone enjoyed the quiz.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #200 ANSWERS:
Answers are in the form:
#number) Artist: Title (year[s]) [peak position on Pop chart] {peak R&B}
[-] = did not make pop chart
{-} = did not make R&B chart
{F} = made R&B chart as a flip side
{n/c} = no Billboard R&B chart published during this recording's period
of peak popularity
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've never seen this side of you before, till now
I never knew that you could feel this way, till now
After all the time we spent together
#01) Association, The: No Fair At All (1967) [51] {-}
Don't want the world to have and hold
For fame is not my line
#02) Cherry, Don: Band of Gold (1956) [4] {-}
Credit also given to Kit Carson and Mel Carter, who fit alphabetically.
This song was a replacement for the Chordettes' "Mr. Sandman" which was
of questionable eligibility because, although it is listed in Whitburn
and charted well into '55, all of its seven weeks at number one were--
I later determined--in '54. According to the rules, because it peaked
in '54 it was not eligible. We wanted a replacement song that was a
well-known charted hit from roughly the same era and chose "Band of Gold,"
not realizing in our haste for a replacement that two additional artists
qualified alphabetically. So, credit to all three artists.
Interesting note from Rick Schubert: "the first line is also in 'The
Flying Saucer (Part 2)' and Buchanan & Goodman fit alphabetically,
but the second line of your lyrics weren't included in their song."
So blow, you old Blue Northern,
Blow my love to me
He's driving in tonight from California
#03) Collins, Judy: Someday Soon (1969) [55] {-}
Tom note: Written by Sylvia Fricker of the Canadian folk duo, Ian &
Sylvia, whose earlier version I always preferred. Song did not chart
well, but was pretty well known among we "folkies" of the '60's.
And if you say goodbye
Then I know that I would cry
Maybe I would die
#04) Dowell, Joe: Wooden Heart (1961) [1] {-}
Tom note: I first heard, and consequently prefer, the version performed
by Elvis in GI BlUES, 1960.
Her eye was black, her face was red, her hair was a fright
She looked as though she'd been a-cryin' half of the night
I told her I was sorry, she said, “Get out of sight!”
#05) Everly Brothers, The: Poor Jenny (1959) [22] {-}
Though we leave in sorrow
All the joys we've known
We can face tomorrow
Knowing we'll never walk alone
#06) Four Freshman: Graduation Day (1956) [17] {-}
A distant bell and stars that fell
Like the rain out of the blue
#07) Ifield, Frank: I Remember You (1962) [5] {-}
Nice jazzy version recently released by Diana Kroll.
When the truth is found to be lies
#08) Jefferson Airplane: Somebody To Love (1967) [5] {-}
Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer till you do
#09) Kallen, Kitty: If I Give My Heart To You (1959) [34] {-}
You start my heart a-thumpin'
You sure have started somethin'
#10) Little Richard: Baby Face (1958) [41] {12}
And I hope you're satisfied, you rascal, you
#11) Lymon, Frankie and The Teenagers: Goody Goody (1957) [20] {-}
I'm so tired of getting nowhere
All my prayers going unanswered
#12) Nilsson: I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City (1969) [34] {-}
Written by Nilsson for the movie Midnight Cowboy, but "Everybody's
Talkin'" was selected instead.
We walked together hand in hand
‘Cross miles and miles of golden sand
But now it's over and done
#13) Overlanders, The: Yesterday's Gone (1964) [75] {-}
This version hit the charts in parallel with Chad & Jeremy's version,
but stalled out while C&J went on to peak at 21 and led to bigger hits,
while this was the only charted song for the Overlanders.
I don't seem to mind somehow
Playing second fiddle now
Someday you'll want me, Dear
And when that day is here
#14) Presley, Elvis, with The Jordanaires: There's Always Me (1967) [56] {-}
One point deduction for omitting the Jordanaires. Tom note: From
1963-67 Elvis, in my opinion, made second-rate movies, recorded second-
rate singles, and was basically dwarfed by The Beatles during their
hey-day. I found of interest the fact that, during that same era, he
released a number of singles which were originally from pre-63 albums.
These were good songs that may have been Top-10 hits if he had released
them in the early 60's, but by the mid-to-late 60's, they no longer had
the Elvis magic behind them. "There's Always Me" is one of those songs,
a favorite of mine from the 1961 Something For Everybody album.
Goin' up, goin' down
Goin' up, down, down, up, any way you wanna let it roll
#15) Reed, Jimmy: Baby What You Want Me To Do (1960) [37] {10}
Some day some old familiar rain will come along and know my name
And then my shelter will be gone and I'll have to move along
But till I do I'll stay awhile
And track the hidden country of your smile
#16) Rodgers, Jimmie: The World I Used To Know (1964) [51] {-}
Tom note: Written by poet Rod McKuen. I got into his sappy stuff by
listening to the Kingston Trio and Limelighters, both of whom recorded
many of his songs. I first heard this as recorded by the Kingston Trio.
Now sit yourself down
I'm not afraid to get down on the ground
And beg, beg you to stay
#17) Scott, Freddie: Hey, Girl (1963) [10] {10}
Written by Jerry Goffin and Carole King.
Come on, baby, let's close the door
Come on, baby, let's sweat some more
#18) Shirley & Lee: Let The Good Times Roll (1956, 1960) [20, 48] {1, -}
Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
#19) Shocking Blue: Venus (1969) [1] {-}
Please say that you're in love, in love with me
Don't let me lead this life, this life of misery
#20) Temptations, The: Barbara (1960) [29] {-}
Only charted hit by this group, which was NOT the "My Girl" Temptations.
Then she turned around to me with that gleam in her eye
She said I'm sorry if I passed you by
#21) Tom & Jerry: Hey, Schoolgirl (1957) [49] {-}
Because Tom & Jerry were actually Simon & Garfunkel, we had to replace
#T1; the GOLQ rules will not permit the same artist to be used twice in
the same quiz.
I try to drum up a phrase that will sum up
All that I feel for you
But what good are phrases
#22) Vinton, Bobby: There! I've Said It Again (1963) [1] {-}
I've waited, but I'll wait forever
For you to come to me
#23) Vogues: Turn Around, Look At Me (1968) [7] {-}
So run to him before you start crying, too
#24) Walker Bros., The: Make It Easy On Yourself (1965) [16] {-}
As I sit here in the gloom of my cold and lonely room
How my heart is filled with fears and my eyes are filled with tears
#25) Young, Kathy, with The Innocents: Happy Birthday Blues (1961) [30] {-}
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
God bless the master of this house, and the mistress also
And all the little children that round your table grow.
The cattle in your stable and the dog by your front door
And all that dwell within your gates
We wish you ten times more
#T1) Peter, Paul & Mary: A'Soalin' (1963) [-] {-}
From their second album, Moving, and also a favorite on their PP&M
In Concert album; song was very well known among aspiring folk guitar
pickers...you were "somebody" if you could play the guitar riff around
which this song was written and sung.
Whaddya doin' on Friday night?
Can it be done by two?
Whaddya doin' on Saturday night?
Can I come over and spend a little while with you? Oh,
Honey, I have to let you know
Baby, how I love you so
#T2) Vincent, Gene and his Blue Caps: Walkin' Home From School (1958) [-] {-}
Tom note: I received a comment that this was a very remote song.
Maybe. The song received considerable airplay and charted reasonably
well in Hartford, CT. In fact, I was very surprised to find it never
cracked Billboard's top 100. When I was in sixth grade, my mom signed
me up for a short course in ballroom dancing, along with some other
members of my class, including a girl upon whom I had a big crush.
"Walkin' Home From School" was "THE" song which our teacher used
exclusively to teach us how to do the fox trot. So, sorry if it was
remote, but it always brings back nice memories for me and I wanted to
pay it a tribute by using it. Also, for as remote as it may have been,
a lot of you folks correctly identified it!

Rank Avg. Song
Tom note: I was very surprised that Wooden Heart came out so low, given
it was a number one song and also an Elvis album cut. I was surprised
"I Remember You" was known by everyone, and that "Make It Easy On Yourself,"
which peaked at only #16, fared so well. While the tie breakers had the
predictably lowest averages, I was amazed that both broke double digits.
