Hi Oldies Fans,

Before we begin, class, I want to tell some of the newcomers about my quizzes.
My quizzes always contain a theme/thread/motif.  Sometimes it involves the
entire quiz (e.g., all songs were top-5 hits, no song made the top 10, etc.) or
it may involve several songs (e.g., songs performed by duos, songs with 2-word
repeating titles, songs by the original artist whose cover charted higher, 1st
charted songs, songs with a certain word/phrase in the title/lyrics/artist,
songs by recently deceased artists, songs by artists recently inducted into the
Hall Of Fame, songs with "soul" in the title which peaked at #2 in 1967, etc.)
or it may be a combination of the two.  All examples listed have actually been
used!!  In any case, sometimes people have figured out the theme(s) & sometimes
not.  Sometimes figuring out a theme MAY help to identify other songs/to make
a semi-educated guess & sometimes not.  It's just supposed to be fun (or it's
supposed to be ignored--it's your choice).  Finally, I usually include a
broader variety of music in my quizzes (i.e., not just R'n'R); this particular
quiz is really a mixed bag (which I expect to be DIFFICULT)!!  If you think
you've identified a theme or themes, let me know in your entry.  As is always
the case on my quizzes, all lyrics were obtained recently from the radio.

Oh, one more thing for the newbies (alt.rock-n-roll.oldies), lyrics within
parentheses represent background vocals; these are added optionally, but they
will never be present when they include the song title :-(

After the 25 regular songs, there will be 2 tie-breakers.  These 2 songs will
not be in the alphabetical mix with the other 25 but will be alphabetized with
respect to one another.  What these 2 songs have in common is that they do not
fit the eligibility requirements for inclusion in the regular part of the quiz:
either they were released prior to 1955 or else they were released between 1955
& 1969 but did not hit the Top 100 on the Pop charts for the specific artist.

There have been no changes to the general rules (which appear after the lyrics).

Good luck to all those who dare to enter.

Rick Schubert will be posting the GOLQ48 Results/Answers on Thursday, 9/23.

I'm sorry if I hurt you

Just say you love me like you used to
#01)

If I spring a leak, she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
#02)

Well I'll be home about twelve tonight
And not a minute, minute, minute later
Don't forget the front door light
A-that's all for now, I see you later maybe

My-y darling you know

Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing the song
Don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow

You are perfection
You're my idea
Of angels singing the Ave Maria

I breathe and live you
With every beat of the heart that I give you

Oh won't you give me a second chance
Baby I love you so-a (alright) oh-a (oh yeah) oh-a (oh yeah) oh yeah

Leave it hangin' on the rack
And bring the sweater back

He fought single-handed through the Injun War
'Til the Creeks was whipped and peace was in store
And while he was handlin' this risky chore
He made hisself a legend for evermore
#10)

Lately things don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
#11)

When you said you were leavin' tomorrow
That today was our last day
I said there'd be no sorrow
That I'd laugh when you walked away
#12)

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fears apa-art
And a laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
#13)

Each time that I hear them
A teardrop will fall
Oh, I love those memories
That I, I recall
#14)

I see her face in every wave
Her lips kiss every breeze
Her lovin' arms reach out for me
Through calm and stormy seas
At night I pace the lonely deck
Caressed by memories
#15)

Now everyone knows just how much
I needed that gal
She wouldn't have gone far away
If only you'd started ringing your bell
#16)

If you like the taste of a lobster stew
Served by a window with an ocean view

Honey in the beehive
Honeybunch
Every time you kiss me
It's like a punch

My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
Oh yes, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown

In the state I'm i-i-in

If you scold 'em (scold 'em)
You gotta pleee-ase them (them)
And I know, I know, I know
#21)

I never get a single thing that's new
Even Jake the plumber, he's the man I adore
He had the nerve to tell me he's been married before
#22)

(Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad) one more time
(You know you love him)
(You can't understand)
(Why he treats you like he do when he's such a good man)
#23)

I had a dream last night
About the comin' fight
Somebody yelled "attack"
And there I stood with a arrow in my back

Come on now, honey
Come on and do the jerk with me
Now if, if you do it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, that's my song

General Rules for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quizzes:

(These rules have been based upon those from Rick Schubert, David Griboff,
  Valentino Herrera, Barry Silk, Howard Teitelbaum, Ron Crandall, Carole
  Hanrahan & Jamie Lubin)

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 1955-1969 only, of course!!  Re 1955: a record
   may have entered the charts in 1954 as long as it was still on the
   charts in 1955.  Re 1969: a record entering the charts in 1969 may
   still be on the charts in 1970.

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 " ").

The lyrics for song #09 should be

Well, you can take back the sack
                            ^^^^
Leave it hangin' on the rack
And bring the sweater back

Thanks to Don Fausett & John Gray for bringing it to my attention (at least
we know 2 people who recall this song :-)  This will not be the last time that
I "mishear" lyrics from the radio.
