RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #362 (GOLQ362)
I think GOLQ-362 is a first, and has probably set a record, and I learned
"Something" pun intended) in the process:
I learned that, if you are a GOLQ fan, you are most likely also a Beatles fan!
For the first time that I am aware, every team - all 13 entrants - identified
every song, with one exception. We had a 12-way tie for first place, with
teams listed in the order I received their entries. The Dale Latimer team,
which I believe is a first-time entrant for a NAVAIRHEADS GOLQ, identified
every song in the main part of the quiz, missed only T2, and in spite of that
great entry, had to settle for LAST place! In spite of what I thought to be
an easily recognizable theme, I figured at least some teams would miss a few
songs, because there were some pretty obscure stumpers in the quiz. But, no!
So, Congratulations to all!
The theme, probably also identified by every team, though not every team
specifically mentioned it, was that all songs were covered by the Beatles. One
team identified the theme to be, "Beatles songs covered by others," which is
essentially the reverse. Howard from Team Teitelbaum gave the best
description, as follows:
"I would categorize the songs as follows (some fit in several groups):
1) Standard canon of commercially released songs:
#01, 04, 07, 08, 13, 16, 22, 25.
2) BBC recordings for "Saturday Club," "Pop Goes the Beatles," etc.:
#01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 07, 08, 09, 10, 13, 16, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, T1, T2.
3) Their (failed) Decca audition on 1/1/62:
#04, 06, 17, 21, 24, T2.
4) Their final stint at the Star Club in Hamburg during December 1962:
#04, 10, 14, 19, 23, 24.
5) Recorded for Parlophone / Apple, but unreleased until the Anthology series:
#11, 12, 15, 18, 20."
As always, thanks to everyone who entered! Mike Weaver has already posted the
April 2017 quiz (GOLQ #363).

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #362 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.

Note: B-side to "Peggy Sue Got Married." According to Wikipedia, this is one
of six songs Holly recorded solo in his home in December, 1958, just before his
death. The songs were subsequently turned over to producer Jack Hansen, who
hired studio musicians and back-up vocalists Ray Charles Singers to replicate a
Crickets sound. Interestingly for me, the studio guitarist, the late Don
Arnone, is the dad of one of my longtime musician friends. Arnone appeared,
uncredited, on many top hits of the GOLQ era. Wikipedia notes that George
Harrison copied, note-for-note, Arnone's lead guitar part. The song is found
on the Beatles' recording of "Live at the BBC (Disc 1)."
Son, that gal you're foolin' with
