			GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #41

The Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz series marches on, now working on its second
thousand songs!

As before, the 25 regular songs are followed by 2 tie-breakers.  These 2 songs
are not in the alphabetical mix with the other 25, but are alphabetized with
respect to one another.  Both tie-breakers were released between 1955 and 1969,
but did not hit the Top 100 on the Pop chart.

There have been no changes in the rules, which appear at the end of the quiz.

Good luck and Happy Holidays to all!

_____________________________________________________________________________

I'm the cat's pajamas
Always runnin' 'round with crazy little mamas
#01) 

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
#02) 

Every night I keep on crying
And I pray that you'll stop lying to me
#03) 

All around there are girls and boys
It's a swingin' place, a cellarful of noise
It's got an atmosphere of its own somehow
You gotta come along right now
#04) 

A lonely heart grows cold and old
#05) 

Friends won't learn the truth from me
I don't want their sympathy
#06) 

Then they're making plans for the future
When they should be right back in school
I used to laugh
But now I understand
#07) 

I'll never hurt you, I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue
#08) 

Bring the buck-buck-buckets down
Wang! Wang! Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh
And if you don't like your job
Let those buck-buck-buckets down
#09) 

You've got kisses sweeter than honey
And I work seven days a week to give you all my money
#10) 

So listen very carefully
Closer now, and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
#11) 

Love will never do
What you want it to
Why can't this crazy love be mine?
#12) 

Yes, I was just thirteen
You might say I was a musical proverbial knee-high
When I heard a couple new sounding tunes on the tubes
And they blasted me sky high
#13) 

I know I'm not a king
And I'm not very wise
But one thing you must realize
#14) 

Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
#15) 

I think I could say something, if you know what I mean
But if I really say it
The radio won't play it
Unless I lay it between the lines
#16) 

I've been waitin' just for tonight
To do some lovin' and hold you tight
Now tell me baby, you gotta go
I got the hi-fi high and the lights down low
#17) 

I finally got to talk to you
And I told you just exactly how I felt
Then I held you close to me
And kissed you and my heart began to melt
#18) 

No more swimmin'
No swimmin'
Hello, history
#19) 

Don't be so scared of changing and re-arranging yourself
It's time for jumping down from the shelf
A little bit
#20) 

You persuaded me to love you, and I did
But instead of tenderness I found heartache instead
Into your arms I fell, so unaware
Of the loneliness that was waiting there
#21) 

You surely must know magic, girl, 'cause you changed my life
It was dull and ordinary, you made it sunny and bright
Now, I was blessed the day I found you
Gonna build my whole world around you
#22) 

Once upon a time
That little girl was mine
If I'd been true
I know she'd never be with you
#23) 

Your love is oh so heavenly
My darling, can't you see
#24) 

Even on my favorite table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
#25) 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tie breakers:

They didn't care what the people did say
All day through they were happy and gay
Yes, all day through they were happy and gay
Just that way
#TB1) 

He's been searching hard, out looking for a lover
He's found the girl that he's been dreaming of
He'll settle down to raise a family
Tell me, who deserves it better than he?
#TB2)

General Rules for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quizzes:

(These rules have been crafted over time by the GOLQ Authors:  Rick Schubert,
  Barry Silk, Howard Teitelbaum, Ron Crandall, Carole Hanrahan, Jamie Lubin,
  and Dan Murphy.  They are based on earlier quiz rules by David Griboff and
  Valentino Herrera.)

1) PLEASE READ THESE RULES FIRST!!

2) The songs are listed in alphabetical order by artist - as it
   actually appeared on the original 45 record.  When I don't
   have access to the original 45, my source is Joel Whitburn's 
   "Top Pop Singles 1955-1990" unless I have evidence indicating 
   that source is incorrect.  Songs should be alphabetized
   according to the following rules, unless I've made a mistake:

   Names beginning with "Mc" are alphabetized as if they were spelled "Mac".
   Names beginning with "St." are alphabetized as if they were spelled
   "Saint".

   Artists' names that begin with a number will be alphabetized using
   the word equivalent of the number.

   If a song has been done by more than one artist, the correct
   response will be the one that fits alphabetically.  If you don't know which
   one fits alphabetically because you have not identified adjoining songs,
   you may include multiple artists in your entry, but you will only receive
   credit if you include the one that fits alphabetically.

   If a lead singer's name is used as part of the artist's name, the
   following alphabetization rules apply:
   - If the last name is used as in "Firstname Lastname & the Group"
     it will be alphabetized under Lastname.
   - If the last name is used as in "the Group featuring Firstname Lastname"
     it will be alphabetized under Group.
   - If the last name is not used as in "Firstname & the Group"
     it will be alphabetized under Firstname.
   - If no last name is used, but a nickname is used before the
     firstname as in "Nickname Firstname & the Group" is alphabetized
     under Nickname.

   For example:
   Artist                                        Alphabetized by
   "The Crickets featuring Buddy Holly"          "Crickets"
   "Buddy Holly & the Crickets"                  "Holly"
   "Little Anthony & the Imperials"              "Little"
   "Little Richard"                              "Little"
   "Little Peggy March"                          "March"
   "Martha & the Vandellas"                      "Martha"

3) Artists may be repeated from previous Golden Oldies quizzes.  An
   artist will not be used more than once in any given quiz.

4) Songs will not be repeated from previous Golden Oldies quizzes,
   whether by the same artist or by a different artist.  However, a
   different song with the same title may be used.

5) Songs WILL BE from the period 1955-1969 only, of course!!

6) Songs are singles that hit the Top 100 on the American Pop Charts.
   Although most songs will have made the top twenty-five or so,
   expect a couple of songs in the quiz that will challenge the
   experts out there.

7) There are 25 songs to identify; each song is worth 20 points.
   Each Title is worth 10 points; each Artist is worth 10 points.
   A perfect score is 500 points.

   You should try to get as close as possible to the way it appears
   on the label; partial credit will be given for imperfect answers.

8) Append your answers to the lines that begin "#dd)", where "dd" are
   two digits.  You may delete the original lyrics or not; I will look
   for lines beginning with those 4 characters (possibly preceded by
   ">" and/or " ").
