RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #350 (GOLQ350)
Congratulations to the Village Idiots, the only team to completely identify my
stumper at #5, and consequently, the only team with a perfect score. Kudo's
also to the EJs & Co., and Delphi Trivia Club, each of which missed only #5,
thereby drawing a tie for second place.
The Beatles' "Not A Second Time" proved to be not much of a tie breaker in that
the song was identified by every team but one.
As always, thanks to everyone who entered! Mike Weaver has already posted
GOLQ351.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #346 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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This flame in my heart
Is like an eternal fire
For every day it burns hotter
And every day it burns higher
#01) Anderson, Bill: "Still" (1963) [8] {-}
For hours he would ride on the range far and wide
When the night winds blow up a squall
His heart is a feather
In all kinds of weather
#02) Arnold, Eddie: "The Cattle Call" (1955) [69] {-}
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
#03) Bee Gees, The: "Words" (1968) [15] {-}
Oh, Daddy, Daddy, I beg of you
Whisper to Mommy, it's alright with you
#04) Berry, Chuck: "Sweet Little Sixteen" (1958) [2] {1}
I lost myself in thought today
And now I know I've got to stay

As I love you
Are you my life to be
My dreams come true

And everything
#07) Domino, Fats: "Margie" (1959) [51] {-}
Note 1: Flip side to "I'm Ready"
Note 2: One of my favorite songwriters is John Prine. For those of you who,
like me, tend to mis-hear lyrics from time to time, you will enjoy this
entertaining YouTube, in which John Prine stops in the middle of his song,
"That's The Way The World Goes 'Round," to relate how some people have misheard
the lyrics to the song. He goes on to tell how, as a kid, he mis-heard the
above lyrics to "Margie." I purposely chose the above lyrics so I could share
this video with its amusing anecdote (although John wrongly states that
"Margie" went #1 across the country):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9DA-u2EhmA
Searched all over for a love
You're the one I'm thinking of

'Cause a man needs a woman
To love him all the time
Remember, Sam, a true love is
So hard to find
#11) Horton, Johnny: "North to Alaska" (1960) [4] {10}
Note: Song reached number one on the country charts
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face (yeah)
His shoes are a terrible disgrace (look who's talking}
#12) Irwin, Big Dee (With Little Eva): "Swinging On A Star" (1963) [38] {-}
The heavenly touch of your embrace
Tells me no one could take your place
Ever in my heart
#13) James, Sonny: "Young Love" (1956/57) [1] {3}
Note: I purposely selected this song in order to provide a tribute to Sonny
James, who passed away last month at the age of 87. Always loved the signature
guitar intro, simple as it was, that was influential in my wanting to learn to
play the guitar.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ_YSy0s67w
Tell me just how you feel
Tell me that your love is real
And I'll give my heart to you

"Gypsy."
He loves Levi's and brown eyes

#16) Murmaids, The: "Popsicles And Icicles" (1963) [3] {-}
If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby, my time is too expensive

You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
#18) Orbison, Roy: "Crying" (1961) [2] {-}
Woah, love songs that they sing
Wouldn't mean a single thing
Even though you're standing there
Ruby lips and golden hair
#19) Pitney, Gene: "If I Didn't Have A Dime (To Play The Jukebox)"
(1962) [58] {-}
Note: Flip side of #2 hit, "Only Love Can Break A Heart"
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
#20) Platters, The: "Twilight Time" (1958) [1] {1}
I'll grow up just as fast as I can
#21) Playmates, The: "Wait For Me" (1960) [37] {-}
Oh why, oh why
Was it my fate
#22) Poni-Tails, The: "Born Too Late" (1958) [7] {11}
Sigh that sigh and whisper oh, so low
Tell me that tonight will last forever
Say that you will leave me never
#23) Presley, Elvis, with The Jordanaires: "Kiss Me Quick" (1964) [34] {n/c}
Note: Previously included on Elvis' "Pot Luck" album, as well as the flip
side, "Suspicion," which was covered as a single by Terry Stafford (though
Elvis' recording preceded Stafford's obvious imitation. I always thought that
if Elvis released "Suspicion" right after he recorded it (prior to Stafford's
version), he'd have had a number one hit with the song.
And what I'd like
For you to say
Is you'll come home
To me each day

(1965) [11] {-}

You're back again

Note: From the British album, "With The Beatles (Parlaphone, 1963) and the USA
album, "Meet The Beatles" (Capitol, 1964)
I'm gonna roll back the rug and nail up the door
Ain't-a gonna leave you never no more
#T2) Everly Brothers, The: "Hey Doll Baby" (1958) {@}
Note: Final track off of their debut album. Also recorded by the Clovers,
whose lyrics for those two lines differ ever so slightly.
