RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #250 (GOLQ250)
Congratulations to Randy Price & Peter Morley and The GenaTeam who tied for
first place in this quiz with perfect scores of 500++.
GOLQ250's mean score was 380, but the median was 460. The theme was one of
my favorite trivia categories: songs with the same title. In this case,
this meant songs for which there was another, totally different GOLQ-era
charting song with the same title. However, the criteria for being a song
with the same title was very loose and was generally based on the way song
titles were announced on the radio. Thus, parenthetical parts of titles
that were often dropped ("Everybody Knows (I Still Love You)" vs. "Everybody
Knows"), punctuation differences ("Baby I Love You" vs. "Baby, I Love You"),
and dropped letters resulting from pronunciation peculiarities ("Loving You"
vs. "Lovin' You") did not disqualify certain songs from inclusion in this GOLQ.
While keeping with the GOLQ rule of no more than one song per artist, I did
not impose a limit on the other artists who had songs with the same title.
Thus the Dave Clark Five are the other artist three times and Sam Cooke twice.
Some of these songs also have the same title as well-known post-GOLQ-era
charting songs or GOLQ-era noncharting songs (such as show tunes and Beatles
and Buddy Holly songs).
The EJ's and Co., the Coasters, Delphi Trivia Club, and Vito and the
Salutations all identified the essence of the theme. On the other hand,
Will McCorry and Team Teitelbaum thought that "love" was the theme of this
quiz. And in fact, because love is a common subject of songs, it is no
surprise that so many titles used for multiple songs have something to do
with love. Of the 27 songs, 9 titles contain the word "love," one contains
"loving," and one has the title of "Venus" (goddess of love).
My thanks to everyone who participated.

=============================================================================
Please send a little girl for me to thrill
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
A girl with all the charms of you
#01) Avalon, Frankie: Venus (1959) [1] {10}
Someone once wrote to Casey Kasem's AMERICAN TOP 40 asking if there had ever
been two different songs with the same title that both reached #1 on the
Billboard Hot 100. He mentioned a few such titles, but only one involved
two different songs that both entered the chart in the GOLQ era--"Venus" by
Frankie Avalon and "Venus" by the Shocking Blue, which actually entered the
chart in late 1969 but didn't peak until 1970. Thus, this song made an
excellent candidate to start this quiz. Everyone got this one. Another
such title that hit #1 in the GOLQ era, for which there were two other
GOLQ-era charting songs with the same title in addition to the post-GOLQ-era
charting #1 song, appears later in this quiz.
Frankie Avalon charted with a disco version of this song in 1976. The
Shocking Blue's song went to #1 again when done by Bananarama in 1986.
When I laid down on my bed
I heard voices in my head
Telling me, "Now hey it's only a dream"
#02) Beach Boys, The: Break Away (1969) [63] {-}
In order to allow the most titles to appear in this quiz, I decided to only
include each title once each, with one exception. At a point at which I had
already chosen one of the tie-breakers and knew that I would not be able to
use the charting song with the same title in this quiz, I decided that the
second tie-breaker would be a song for which I could use a charting song
with the same title in the quiz. My first choice to go with that one was
"Break Away (From That Boy)" by the Newbeats, but this was used too recently
on a GOLQ.
My heart skips a beat
Every time that you're near
Every time that we meet
I love you yes I do
#03) Belmonts, The: Tell Me Why (1961) [18] {-}
A subcategory of this trivia category is songs that have the same title as
songs done by the Beatles. I heard "Tell Me Why" by Bobby Vinton on
AMERICAN BANDSTAND around the same time as the Beatles' A HARD DAY'S NIGHT
album, which contains a song with the title, was hitting it big in the U.S.
I liked the Belmonts' song better than the Bobby Vinton song. While doing
this quiz, I learned that Elvis Presley also charted with a song called
"Tell Me Why" during the GOLQ era. I already knew of one another title of
different songs done by Elvis and the Beatles, although neither artist
charted with this title in the GOLQ era. This song appears later in this
quiz. The same "Tell Me Why" that Elvis did also charted for the Crew Cuts
and Gale Storm. There have also been a few post-GOLQ-era charting songs
with this title.
Baby Baby Baby Baby
Baby Baby Baby Baby
Baby Baby Baby Baby
Baby Baby
Come on now
Come on now
#04) Brown, James, and the Famous Flames: I Got The Feelin' (1968) [6] {1}
I couldn't resist using the only song eligible for this quiz with the same
title as a GOLQ-era charting song by Neil Diamond, which was actually called
"I Got The Feelin' (Oh No, No)" (and is listed only as "Oh No, No" on the
album THE FEEL OF NEIL).
They all said it's too good to be true
It'll make a fool of you one day
I just laughed and said our love was strong
But you left me and they all know I was wrong
#05) Clark, Dave, Five, The: Everybody Knows (1967/68) [43] {-}
The Dave Clark Five may very well be the only artist who charted with two
different songs with the same title in the GOLQ era. The other song charted
in 1964. In recent years, I've seen the 1964 song listed as "Everybody
Knows (I Still Love You)," but I don't recall it being called anything but
"Everybody Knows" by disc jockeys back then. Steve Lawrence also charted
with a song called "Everybody Knows" in 1964.
I am aware of a few other instances in which an artist has recorded
different songs with the same title. The Ventures recorded both an
original tune called "Up, Up, And Away" and a version of the Fifth
Dimension hit "Up-Up And Away." (The DC5 and the Ventures are both on
the 2008 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ballot. I hope that both get in soon.)
The GenaTeam and Delphi Trivia Club both made reference to the existence
of both songs by the Dave Clark Five.
I gotta tell you that we're through
Find a guy who's always handy
Listen girl I'm leaving you
Why must I love you so much?
#06) Dion: Sandy (1963) [21] {-}
Other GOLQ-era songs with this title were by Larry Hall and Ronny and the
Daytonas. Two other notable songs with this title came out in the 1970s.
One was a charting single by the Hollies, which was a cover of a Bruce
Springsteen album cut called "4th of July, Asbury Park." The other was
from the musical GREASE, making the other songs called "Sandy" part of
another subcategory--songs with the same name as a song from musical
theatre or a on-screen musical.
"Tell Me Why" was done by the Belmonts without Dion, so this recording and
"Tell Me Why" by the Belmonts could both be included in the same GOLQ. If
he had still been in the Belmonts when they did "Tell Me Why," I would have
used Larry Hall's "Sandy" in this GOLQ.
I just know when I'm in your embrace
This world is a happy place
And something happens to me
#07) Drifters, The: Some Kind Of Wonderful (1961) [32] {6}
A different song with this title charted by the Soul Brothers Six and by
Fantastic Johnny C in the GOLQ era and by Grand Funk and by Huey Lewis and
the News in the post-GOLQ era. The Drifters' song was written by Gerry
Goffin and Carole King. I consider the hit recording to be one of most
wonderfully-constructed songs ever.
Each time I look into those pretty, pretty eyes
I visualize something I didn't realize
I don't know I don't care
'Cause I'm in love with you
#08) Four Coins, The: I Love You Madly (1955) [28] {-}
The other song with this title was by the Fantastic Four.
What you want little boy
You know you got it
I'd deny myself
Before I see you without it
#09) Franklin, Aretha: Baby I Love You (1967) [4] {1}
"Baby, I Love You" (with a comma in the title) went to #24 for the Ronettes
in 1964 and to #9 by Andy Kim in 1969. I did not realize until just now
that Andy Kim's version peaked higher than that of the Ronettes. Another
"Baby I Love You" (with no comma in the title) charted for Jimmy Holiday
in 1966 and Little Milton in 1970.
We're worlds apart
So close yet worlds apart
So we must hide our love
With feeling in our hearts
We meet in shadows
#10) Gaye, Marvin: You (1968) [34] {7}
There is only one other GOLQ-era charting song called "You," which was by
the Aquatones in 1958. There have been quite a few post-GOLQ-era charting
songs with this title, including one by George Harrison.
Now you've found out that your new love
Isn't true like he should be
You say that you're gonna forget him
And you're gonna come back to me
#11) Goldsboro, Bobby: It's Too Late (1966) [23] {-}
The only other GOLQ-era charting song called "It's Too Late" was by Wilson
Pickett. Another song called "It's Too Late" made the R&B chart in versions
by Chuck Willis (the song's composer) in 1956 and Ted Taylor in 1969 and was
also recorded by Buddy Holly. The Bobby Goldsboro "It's Too Late" was also
recorded by Johnny Rivers. But by far the best-known and most successful
song of all with this title is Carole King's 1971 hit.
My heart, my lips, my tear-dimmed eyes
A lonely soul within me cries
I acted smart
Broke your heart
#12) Husky, Ferlin: Gone (1957) [4] {-}
The other song with this title was by the Rip Chords. The Ferlin Husky
song made the chart again as a remake by Joey Heatherton in 1972. Paul
Revere and the Raiders have recorded two songs known to me as "Gone"--the
Ferlin Husky song and an original one of theirs. However, their own song
turns out to have the title of "Gone--Movin' On."
Without love
Flowers wouldn't grow in spring
And without spring
Yeah, the birdies just couldn't sing
#13) Jackson, Deon: Love Makes The World Go Round (1966) [11] {3}
This is another one from the subcategory of charting songs with the same
title as songs from musicals. I knew of a song with this title from the
musical CARNIVAL (that was sung in the Miss Teenage America pageant by the
eventual winner, a girl from Baltimore, one year in the 1960s). I wondered
if the CARNIVAL song ever charted, which would make the Deon Jackson song
eligible for this GOLQ. Although Jane Morgan released a single of this
song, it never charted by her or by anyone else. However, I did find two
other charting songs with this title or close enough to it from the GOLQ
era--"Love (Makes The World Go 'Round)" by Paul Anka and "Love Makes The
World Go 'Round" by Perry Como. Plus, after searching the Internet,
I found a whole bunch of other songs with this title, including ones from
three other musicals--ME AND MY GIRL, NO STRINGS (the only musical with
both music and lyrics by Richard Rodgers), and ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
Although your arms are holding me so tight
The sadness you feel it doesn't seem right
That's love
It's the real true thing
#14) Laurie, Annie: It Hurts To Be In Love (1957) [61] {3}
Several months ago, when I had already thought of doing a GOLQ with this
theme, I found a song I had never heard or heard of before that I knew just
had to be included. It was a song that peaked in the 60-69 range in the
late 1950s and has the same title as a huge hit from the first half of the
1960s for which Howard Greenfield wrote the lyrics and was done by one of
the most successful male singers of that half-decade. The artist of the
newly-discovered song would fit neatly between Deon Jackson and Brenda Lee.
This is not that song. That song was "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" by Jivin'
Gene and the Jokers, which was stolen out from under me and used in GOLQ249
(just kidding--my new familiarity with it allowed me to identify it for my
team). However, as I was turning the pages of my Whitburn book while
putting this quiz together, I found this song, and it made a perfect
replacement for that song. The other song with this title was, of course,
Gene Pitney's 1964 hit, which was written by Greenfield and composer Helen
Miller (and originally intended for Neil Sedaka).
(The Jivin' Gene and the Jokers song is hardly the best-known song with
the same title as a different song that was a hit for Neil Sedaka, though.
That honor no doubt goes to a lengthy 1970s song by Led Zeppelin.)
I was such a fool
I didn't know love could be so cruel
#15) Lee, Brenda: I'm Sorry (1960) [1] {4}
This is another title that Casey Kasem mentioned as having been that of
multiple #1 songs. The other #1 with this title was by John Denver in 1975.
The other GOLQ-era charting songs called "I'm Sorry" were by the Platters
and the Delfonics. Petula Clark's 1966 #1 hit, "My Love," also has the
same title as another GOLQ-era charting song, by Nat King Cole and Stan
Kenton, and a post-GOLQ-era #1 hit, by Paul McCartney and Wings. Like
"Gone" by Ferlin Husky, Brenda Lee's "I'm Sorry" charted as a remake by
Joey Heatherton in the 1970s.
So soft and tender
Won't win a girl's heart any more
#16) Mamas & Papas, The: Words Of Love (1966/67) [5] {-}
I knew that the Mamas & Papas had recorded a cover of the Beatles song
"I Call Your Name" on their first album. LIFE magazine ran a story about
the group complete with photos of them working on their second LP. In one
picture, they were shown rehearsing a song called "Words Of Love." I was
familiar with a song by the Beatles with this title and figured that Cass,
Michelle, John, and Denny were doing another one by the Fab Four. But
when the song came out as a single from this album, it turned out to be a
different song, written by group member and chief songwriter John Phillips.
Also, I eventually remembered that "Words Of Love" by the Beatles was
written by Buddy Holly, who also recorded it. Neither the Holly nor
Beatles version of this song ever charted, but I learned that a version by
the Diamonds did chart when it was it was used in GOLQ207.
Don't you know
Where you go I will follow you (follow you)
So fight if you wanna
And go where you're gonna
#17) Martha & the Vandellas: Wild One (1964/65) [34] {n/c}
The other song with this title was done by Bobby Rydell. I thought of
using that one instead, but I needed a song that spent some time on the
chart in 1965, and with Frankie Avalon already represented in this one,
I figured that was enough.
It breaks your heart in two
To know she's been untrue
But oh what will you do
When she says to you
There's someone new
#18) Orbison, Roy: It's Over (1964) [9] {n/c}
The other GOLQ-era song with this title charted for both Jimmie Rodgers
(who wrote it) and Eddy Arnold. There were also different post-GOLQ-era
charting songs with this title by Boz Scaggs and Electric Light Orchestra.
Glen Campbell has recorded both the Roy Orbison and Jimmie Rodgers songs
called "It's Over."
There is only one for me
And you know who
You know that I'll always be
#19) Presley, Elvis, with the Jordanaires: Loving You (1957) [20] {8}
This was from the movie of the same title. It was written by Jerry Leiber
and Mike Stoller and was the B-side of Elvis' #1 hit, "Let Me Be Your
Teddy Bear" (long believed by me to have the same title as the 1970s Red
Sovine chart entry I've heard of but never heard, "Teddy Bear"). The
other GOLQ-era song that qualified this for inclusion was "Lovin' You,"
performed by Bobby Darin and written by John Sebastian (and also recorded
by his group, the Lovin' Spoonful). Another "Lovin' You" reached #1 in
1975 by Minnie Ripperton (a song on many people's all-time least favorite
song list but which I do like).
I know just where I went wrong
Woman sings a sweet love song
Wanted money wanted honey
#20) Scott, Bobby: Chain Gang (1956) [13] {-}
The other GOLQ-era song with this title was by Sam Cooke. This is the
first of two consecutive songs for which the other song with the same
title was done by Sam Cooke.
See the chick with the red dress on
She been dancing rockin' all night long
Got her mind on the drummer and the guitar man
Got on fire with the beat of a long-haired band
#21) Shadows of Knight, The: Shake (1968) [46] {-}
The other GOLQ-era song with this title charted by both Sam Cooke (who
wrote it) and Otis Redding. Another memorable version of the Sam Cooke
"Shake" for those in the Washington, DC, was by a local group, the British
Walkers. It was released shortly before the Otis Redding version, and
unfortunately, once that one came out, even the local stations dropped
the British Walkers' version, which you can hear at the MySpace page for
the group at http://www.myspace.com/thebritishwalkers (and don't need to
be a MySpace member to hear). (Incidentally, if you ask me who recorded
"The Girl Can't Help It," my answer will be the British Walkers, not
Little Richard.)
I included this song because about 10 years ago, I came upon a discussion
in the rec.music.rock-pop-r+b.1960s USENET group in which somebody thought
"Shake" by the Shadows of Knight" was the same song as the Sam cooke song
and even had a recording of what was believed to be the same song done by
the Roulettes in which the songwriting credit was Cook (sic). However,
this is a different song. It was written by bubblegum songwriters Kris
Resnick and Joey Levine. It may be that the Roulettes' song called
"Shake" was the Cooke/Redding/British Walkers "Shake."
>From the distance of my mind
The clock that's ringing says it's time
To wake up to my destiny
It's time to face reality
#22) Thomas, B.J.: It's Only Love (1969) [45] {-}
Although this song is nominally included because it has the same title
as a 1966 charting song by Tommy James and the Shondells, it is actually
included because a post-GOLQ-era charting remake of it has the same title
as a reasonably well-known song from the GOLQ era that never had a charting
version. The later remake of this song charted in 1971 by Elvis Presley,
and the non-charting song was by the Beatles. When I heard the Elvis
version, I thought it was interesting that there was an Elvis Presley song
with the same title as a different song by the Beatles.
B.J. Thomas is one of my favorite singers, and I had been wanting to
include one of his songs in a GOLQ for a long time. Twice before I had
chosen one of his songs for the quiz. One of them turned out to have been
used too recently for a GOLQ. The other time, a decision came down to his
song or another song from the same part of the alphabet and the same year,
and I decided to go with the other song.
For your kiss
Oh, I would go anywhere
I would go anywhere
For your kiss
#23) Townsend, Ed: For Your Love (1958) [13] {7}
The other song with this title was by the Yardbirds (although I first heard
it as a Herman's Hermits album cut). The Ed Townsend "For Your Love" also
charted by the Wanderers, Sam & Bill, and Peaches and Herb (a Washington-
area group that had a lot more national success than the British Walkers).
Your love means oh so much to me
My darling can't you see
My heart throbs just for you my dear
Whenever, whenever you're near
#24) Volume's, The: I Love You (1962) [22] {-}
You'd think there'd be a lot of songs called "I Love You." But for many
years, I only knew of one, the 1968 hit by People (which was also a
Zombies album cut). I finally heard another song with this title when
Climax Blues Band had a hit with this title in the early 1980s. After I
moved to Philadelphia, where more doo-wop oldies were played on the radio,
I discovered this song called "I Love You." But I still only know three
songs with this title, although the Whitburn book lists a few other post-
GOLQ-era chart entries called "I Love You."
Randy Price & Peter Morley and the GenaTeam both pointed out that some
pressings of this record list the group name as the Volumes, without the
apostrophe, so either form of the name was acceptable.
I tried so hard to make you stay
Now it doesn't matter what happens from day to day
I sit and moan with tears in my eyes
#25) Wilson, Jackie: Please Tell Me Why (1961) [20] {11}
The other song with this title was by the Dave Clark Five.
Tie-breakers:
Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
#T1) Beatles, The: Because (1969) [-] {-}
This was chosen because it is a Beatles song with the same title as a
Dave Clark Five song. Two songs before this one on ABBEY ROAD is "I Want
You (She's So Heavy)." Without the parenthetical portion, this has the
same title as a Bob Dylan song. I considered both songs but decided on
the DC5 title match because it was more exact. (Also, "I Want You (She's
So Heavy)" doesn't have much in the way of lyrics that don't mention the
title or subtitle.) Due to the fact that I had already picked "Everybody
Knows," I couldn't use "Because" as a regular entry.
Team Teitelbaum: A gorgeous John Lennon composition, with uncredited
assistance from Beethoven! Apparently, Yoko was playing the latter's
"Moonlight Sonata" one day, and John had the idea of reversing a sequence
of chords from that work; this provided the basis for "Because." The rich
vocal harmony was created by having John, Paul, and George each do two
overdubs over the original vocal, thus creating a 9-part vocal blend.
The song was principally recorded on August 1, 1969, with several overdubs
(including an early version of the Moog Synthesizer) during the following
week. Released on the ABBEY ROAD LP later that year.
I make a vow to myself
You and I are through
Nothing can change my mind
"I'm sorry" just won't do
#T2) Thomas, Irma: Break-A-Way (1964) [-] {-}
I discovered this song on the 4-CD set ONE KISS CAN LEAD TO ANOTHER: GIRL
GROUP SOUNDS, LOST & FOUND. The song was written by Jackie DeShannon and
Sharon Sheeley. (Some sources also list Irma Thomas as a co-writer.)
Delphi Trivia Club mentioned that it was the B-side of "Wish Someone Would
Care," which did chart and that it was later a hit for Tracey Ullman. In
addition to the other songs with titles pronounced "Breakaway" already
mentioned, Art Garfunkel charted with one of my favorite solo recordings
by him, "Break Away," in 1975.
One entry listed Jackie DeShannon as the artist for this one (which is
what led me to discover that she co-wrote the song). She recorded a demo
version in the GOLQ era that was finally released in the 1990s, so I gave
this answer full credit.
I have put together a YouTube playlist of all of the songs used in this
GOLQ that I could find represented there, as well as some of the same
songs with the same title and some other versions of these songs. You can
find it at:

=============================================================================
This chart ranks the songs/artists from most to least recognized. The second
number on the line denotes the average number of points scored on that song
(total points divided by number of entrants, to 2 decimal places). For
comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale.
Most songs on this GOLQ ranked where I expected them to be. "Tell Me Why"
performed better than I expected it to perform. "Loving You" performed worse
than expected.
