RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #286 (GOLQ286)
Three teams tied for first with perfect scores. Congratulations to
EJ's & Co., The Gypsy's Caravan, and The GenaTeam!
Just off the pace, a tie-breaker away from a share of first place, were
Delphi Trivia Club and Will McCorry.
The intended 4-song mini-theme involved the death of the artist (or the key
member of the group) within the past year. This theme connected songs
#03, 06, 08, and 24. The GenaTeam posited an equally valid (but unintended)
4-song vocational theme: Lineman (#04), coal miner (#07), beautician (#13),
and magician (#16).
After each song, I've given one or more YouTube links. Audio fidelity and
permanence of links are not guaranteed!
As always, thanks to everyone who entered! The December 2010 quiz (GOLQ #287)
will be posted soon.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #286 ANSWERS:
Answers are in the form:
#number) Artist: "Title" (chart year) [peak Pop] {peak R&B} <xxx>...<yyy>
where:
"peak Pop" = Peak position achieved on the weekly Billboard Pop chart.
"peak R&B" = Peak position on the weekly Billboard Rhythm & Blues chart.
(Billboard didn't publish an R&B chart between 11/30/63 and 1/23/65,
so recordings in that interval show peak R&B of {n/c} ("no chart").)
"xxx",...,"yyy" = prior GOLQ(s) in which the song appeared, if any.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can hear the choo-choo callin' me on
To a fancy new address
Yes, I can hear that choo-choo callin' me on
Onboard the Happiness Express
#01) Louis Armstrong: "So Long Dearie" (1964) [56] {n/c}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMhfx-uM9xM (live version; lyrics differ)
[Song is from the 1964 Broadway musical "Hello, Dolly!" - sung by Dolly to
her grumpy would-be beau, Horace. Performed by Carol Channing in the
original Broadway cast album, and by Barbra Streisand in the 1969 movie.
The EJ's noted that this was Satchmo's 2nd single from the musical.]
If you need love and affection
Come to my lovin' arms
I'll be your shield and protection
I won't do you no harm
#02) Pat Boone: "Why Baby Why" (1957) [5] {-}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nej18pCVZE0
[My original song #02 was LaVern Baker's "Jim Dandy Got Married."
I realized belatedly that this song had been used too recently
(in GOLQ #251), so it was replaced.]
Gonna throw the picture away
You didn't love me any old way
You found somebody new
And our romance is through
#03) Solomon Burke: "Got To Get You Off My Mind" (1965) [22] {1}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnVwgMKLXKw
[He passed away on October 10, age 70. The song topped the R&B chart for
3 weeks. Mike Weaver pointed out that the first line above should
actually be "Gonna throw YOUR picture away."]
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
#04) Glen Campbell: "Wichita Lineman" (1968/69) [3] {-} <81>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTfwcLdP5Xk
And that we'll never part
And you know that I need you
I'm keeping you here in my heart
#05) The Chantels: "I Love You So" (1958) [42] {14} <93>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6AGBc9Sjmo
But when you made your wish, dear
I was wishin' too
That I'd be sayin' "Happy Birthday"
Your whole life through
#06) The Crests: "A Year Ago Tonight" (1959/60) [42] {-}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66tNZtF4AdA
[This song is the year-later sequel to "16 Candles" - our
heroine is now celebrating her 17th birthday. Lead singer
Johnny Maestro passed away on March 24, age 70.]
But when Saturday rolls around
I'm too tired for havin' fun
#07) Lee Dorsey: "Working In The Coal Mine" (1966) [8] {5} <14>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDySfmZlcr0
[For the Chilean miners rescued on Oct. 13! (OK, they weren't mining
coal, but close enough ...)]
And she causes quite a stir
Just by walkin' in the room
Oh, I wish I were her
Now you're dancing very near her
Just like sweethearts do
#08) The Essex featuring Anita Humes: "She's Got Everything" (1963) [56] {n/c}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AJCa3QdMxM
[Anita Humes Chappelle passed away on May 30, age 69. This was the last
of three charting singles by the group, all in '63.]
Everything seems lovely
When you start to roam
But here's what you'll be saying
When you're far from home
#09) The Happenings: "My Mammy" (1967) [13] {-} <47>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjvznPfgDfo
[A rocked-up version of an old standard from 1918. A signature tune of
Al Jolson's from the 1920s onward, the song was originally popularized in
a vaudeville routine by William Frawley, better known to '50s/'60s TV
audiences as Fred Mertz ("I Love Lucy") and Uncle Bub ("My Three Sons").]
Did you know lies can be seen in your eyes?
And from wrong you'll never be free
No use in cryin'
#10) The Impressions: "You've Been Cheatin'" (1965/66) [33] {12} <100>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhyKAJdh9MM
Half out, half in
Not quite out of love with you
Not too much in love with him
#11) Wanda Jackson: "In The Middle Of A Heartache" (1961) [27] {-}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tna33rLBLQ
I done told you, big bad bulldog
#12) Little Willie John: "Leave My Kitten Alone"
(1959,1961) [60,60] {13,-} <64>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmyD2AJIqcU (Little Willie John)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGdySyh-h8U (Johnny Preston)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1WytU0yZwI (Beatles)
[Johnny Preston's version in 1961 also charted. The Beatles recorded a
version in August 1964, intended for the "Beatles for Sale" LP, but it was
ultimately abandoned. Their recording finally surfaced 30 years later on
"Anthology."]
She was long and lean
And you know what that means
She's a good lovin' mama
A hard-workin' woman
She makes a lot of money
I don't have to worry about a thing
#13) B. B. King: "Beautician Blues" (1964) [82] {n/c}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeMBAflZ8Rs
[Mike Weaver rebuts: "My wife used to be a beautician; she DIDN'T make
a lot of money!"]
All that I am askin'
All I want from you
Just love me like I love you
And it won't be hard to do
#14) Peggy Lee: "Alright, Okay, You Win" (1959) [68] {-}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrYZBs5vmPY
Just like they did it back in 1910
#15) Little Eva: "Let's Turkey Trot" (1963) [20] {16} <64><226>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKRmoIDLxNU
[The Turkey Trot was a popular ragtime dance step in the early 20th
century. It was about as ancient in 1963 as the Twist would be today!]
Eyes that hypnotize
And all it takes is just one glance
Just one look at him
Puts me in a lover's trance
#16) The Marvelettes: "My Baby Must Be A Magician" (1967/68) [17] {8} <24>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnHMsYH-8LI
[Spoken bass intro is by Melvin Franklin of The Temptations. Song was
written by Smokey Robinson, who also produced the recording.]
There's a whole generation
With a new explanation
#17) Scott McKenzie: "San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair)"
(1967) [4] {-} <13>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdvCqUguIh8
[Written & produced by John Phillips (of The Mamas & The Papas), who had
a long association with McKenzie; they had sung together in various folk
groups, going back to the late '50s.]
You did me dirty
But you'll get yours one day
#18) Bobby Parker: "Watch Your Step" (1961) [51] {-} <185>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvtabNAb_wE (Bobby Parker)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODiUpAR5tW4 (Beatles; "I Feel Fine")
[John Lennon loved this song, and readily admitted borrowing its signature
guitar lick for "I Feel Fine."]
Well, she goes struttin' down the street
In her sophisticated style
The way she's dressed was a-knockin' 'em wild
The cats started gapin' 'til they called her out
#19) Carl Perkins: "Pink Pedal Pushers" (1958) [91] {-}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX6Ig3txeic
You've been runnin' all over town, now
Oh, guess I have to put your flat feet on the ground
#20) Wilson Pickett: "Mustang Sally" (1966/67) [23] {6} <134>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPBOXOtBUE0 (Sir Mack Rice)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKuv5u55xzw (Wilson Pickett)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61cUmHogYtk (Mack Rice interview)
[Written and first recorded by "Sir" Mack Rice in 1965. In the interview
linked above, Rice describes how he came to write the song (a tale that
includes Della Reese and Aretha Franklin!) and does a live version. Prior
to Pickett's recording, the song also appeared as the B-side to The Young
Rascals' #1 hit "Good Lovin'" in early '66. (The Young Rascals updated
Sally's wheels: "I bought you a brand new Mustang, a 1966.")]
For every little kiss, there's a little teardrop
For every single thrill, there's another heartache
The road is rough, the going gets tough
#21) Lou Rawls: "Love Is A Hurtin' Thing" (1966) [13] {1} <54>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP8lqM7nx2I
[One of the artists/songs mentioned in Arthur Conley's "Sweet Soul Music."]
Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor's lives
Rich man, poor man, beautiful daughters, wives
#22) The Rolling Stones: "Dandelion" (1967) [14] {-} <93>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urzxg3IAWNE
Every day, there's something new
You pull out your bag and your fine to-do
You got me trying new things too
Just so I can keep up with you
#23) Sam & Dave: "I Thank You" (1968) [9] {4} <45>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I3D8F5TiYI
[Despite their electric on-stage performances, Sam Moore and Dave Prater
had a famously contentious relationship with each other for most of their
years together (1961-81, on and off). From 1982 through 1988 (when
Prater died in a car accident), a "New Sam & Dave Revue" featured a
different "Sam" (Sam Daniels). Sam Moore continues to perform today.
Dave, who had the lower, grittier-sounding voice of the two, sings the
lyrics given here. Wikipedia quotes a nice summation of the pair from
Jerry Wexler's autobiography: "Their live act was filled with animation,
harmony and seeming goodwill. I put Sam in the sweet tradition of Sam
Cooke or Solomon Burke, while Dave had an ominous Four Tops' Levi
Stubbs-sounding voice, the preacher promising hellfire."]
You take some music, music
Sweet flowin' music
Some movin' and groovin'
#24) The Showmen: "It Will Stand" (1961/62,1964) [61,80] {-,n/c} <98><185>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s45hycSkcMY
["General" Norman Johnson, lead singer of The Showmen, died on Oct. 13,
age 69 (some sources say 67). He later led Chairmen of the Board ("Give
Me Just A Little More Time"), and authored a number of hit songs by other
artists, such as "Patches" (Clarence Carter) and "Want Ads" (The Honey
Cone).]
It was only yesterday
Your words are still fresh in my mind
Baby, you said long as rivers flow, each day you'll love me more
Now you wanna leave me behind
#25) The Temptations: "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)"
(1968) [13] {1} <72>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl-znvbHX2I
------------
Tie-Breakers

I wanna tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a belly full of wine
#T1) The Beatles: "Her Majesty" (1969) [-] {-}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_h45M4Cj7Y (as released on "Abbey Road")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bF3V5iJfK4 (original medley order)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnCIKoFBiHQ (original song with final chord)
[In the original mix for the Abbey Road LP, this was part of the legendary
Side 2 medley, sandwiched between "Mean Mr. Mustard" and "Polythene Pam."
Paul then decided to scrap "Her Majesty," so a quick edit was done to
excise it. The discarded song was spliced onto the end of the tape for
safekeeping, preceded by 15 seconds of blank tape as a spacer. When the
group listened to the playback of this rough mix, they liked the surprise
element, so the temporary edit became final: "Her Majesty," with its long
preceding silence, remained at the end of the album, after "The End."
The odd crashing chord at the beginning of "Her Majesty" is actually the
final chord of "Mean Mr. Mustard," cut to make it flow into "Polythene
Pam." The abrupt ending of "Her Majesty" occurs because its own final
chord had been cut out when it was linked to "Polythene Pam." The
reconstructed original running order, linked above, illustrates how the
medley sounded prior to this change. Another link above has the original
recording of "Her Majesty" with its final chord intact.]
Do the sugarfoot rag, side by side
A-flyin' low and a-flyin' wide
#T2) Bill Haley and The Saddlemen: "Rock The Joint" (1952) [-] {-}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqI130TS1vM (Jimmy Preston)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQyQIrlIVL0 (Haley/Saddlemen)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKzERicDSR0 ("Rock Around The Clock")
[The song was first recorded in 1949 by Jimmy Preston and His Prestonians,
with rather different lyrics, hitting #6 on the R&B chart. The Saddlemen's
recording, made shortly before the group changed its name to Bill Haley and
His Comets in late '52, featured session guitarist Danny Cedrone. In April
1954, Haley hired him again, to play lead guitar for the recording of
"(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock." Due to other commitments, Cedrone
hadn't attended the group's rehearsal of the song, so he hadn't come up
with a solo. Someone in the group (sources differ as to who) suggested
that Cedrone replicate his solo from "Rock The Joint," which he did almost
exactly. Danny died tragically two months later, after falling down a
flight of stairs (June 17, 1954).
Bill Haley and His Comets recorded a new version of "Rock The Joint" in
1957 for Decca (some sources list this as "New Rock The Joint"). Either
group name (Saddlemen or Comets) got full credit.]
