RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #313 (GOLQ313)
Congratulations to four teams with perfect 500++ scores: EJ's & Co.; Vito
& The Salutations; The Village Idiots; and, Will McCorry. Gypsy's Caravan
and Lehigh Valley also identified all 25 songs and both tie breaker songs.
Most teams noted correctly that the seasonal theme was "Heart," commemo-
rating Valentines Day. The minor theme, somewhat abstract, was that the
quiz included two songs in tribute to two artists who had passed away
within the past 30 days: Fontella Bass and Patti Page. John Fox also noted
that two songs were written by Bacharach and David, which is also true.
Subsequent to publishing the quiz, I (Tom) learned from the Academy Awards
tribute that Hal David also passed away this past year, so I am glad we
included him as well.
Thanks to all of the entering teams for participating.
Howard Teitelbaum has already posted GOLQ314.

So important to me
#T1) Beatles, The: "Devil In Her Heart" (1963)
Also correct was "Devil In His Heart" by the Donays.
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
#T2) Page, Patti: "Tennessee Waltz" (1950)
This song was Patti Page's signature song and the intended artist for this
quiz, and most teams identified her as the artist. Don Robertson recorded
the song but only partial credit was given because his version was instru-
mental and did not contain the above lyrics. Sam Cooke recorded the song,
but since he was featured in the top part of the quiz, he was not eligible
as an artist.
============================================================================
The following table ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized.
The first column indicates the average number of points scored on that song
(total points divided by number of entrants). For comparison purposes,
tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale.

15.29 #19) Rolling Stones, The: "Heart Of Stone"
15.29 #24) Williams, Andy: "Dear Heart"
14.71 #07) Donner, Ral & The Starfires: "Girl Of My Best Friend"
14.18 #02) Anka, Paul: "Summer's Gone"
14.18 #05) Clark, Petula: "This Is My Song"
14.18 #09) Francis, Connie: "My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own"
14.18 #11) Hearts, The: "Dear Abby"
14.18 #15) Nelson, Ricky: "Never Be Anyone Else But You"
14.18 #18) Presley, Elvis, with the Jordanaires: "That's When Your Heartaches Begin"
14.18 #22) Vinton, Bobby: "My Heart Belongs To Only You"
13.53 #21) Supremes, The: "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart"
11.76 #03) Bass, Fontella: "Safe And Sound"
11.76 #08) Four Aces, featuring Al Alberts: "Melody Of Love"
No song was a real stumper this time, even though Fontella Bass's "Safe And
Sound" only peaked at #100 for one week. We were surprised that more teams
identified The Hearts' "Dear Abby" which peaked at #94 than identified Bobby
Vinton's "My Heart Belongs To Only You" and The Supremes' "Love Is Like An
Itching In My Heart," both of which peaked in the Top 10 at #9, "Melody Of
Love," which peaked at #3, although that was way back in 1955.
