Please use the email address listed in this posting. Oldies fans: Welcome to the golden anniversary edition of the Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz series. With this installment, the GOLQ series turns the big Five-Oh! The quiz has been running (almost) continuously since the Fall of 1990, when Rick Schubert unleashed it onto the world. Since then, a number of us have spent countless hours of fun and frustration trying to recall songs from artists from the Ad Libs to the Zombies, and as diverse as Sinatra and the Iron Butterfly. The list of songs used in the quiz is now approaching 1300 songs! I think it is a good time to recognize the contributions of the individuals who not only kept the quiz going, but have helped it flourish. In addition to the spiritual leader Rick Schubert, who is still an active quizmaster, others deserving recognition include Jamie Lubin and Barry Silk, who, in addition to being among the most active quizmasters, have dominated the quiz as participants. The other active quizmaster, Howard Teitelbaum, deserves additional recognition for maintaining the sorted list of used songs that he periodically posts to the net. Past quizmasters, Carole Hanrahan and Dan Murphy, also deserve recognition for their efforts. Thanks also, of course, to all the participants, who are the ones that have truly made the quiz a success. I've continued the tradition of including two tie-breaker songs after the the first 25 "regular" songs. These songs (#T1 and #T2) are not in the alpha- betical mix of the first 25 songs, but are alphabetized with respect to each other only. The tie-breaker songs do not meet the criteria for inclusion in the main part of the quiz; i.e., they were released prior to 1955 or they were released between 1955 and 1969 but did not hit the Top 100 on the pop charts. I hope this quiz will be a little easier than the last couple (no offense, Jamie and Rick), but my guess is that most people will still find it fairly tough. There have been no changes to the general rules, which appear after the lyrics. Jamie Lubin will post GOLQ #49 results later today. Good luck! Ron Crandall Answers must be received by 5:00 PM EST on Friday, Nov. 5, 1993. Try to e-mail early since I don't know how long it takes to get here.

When I don't have access to the original 45, my source is Joel Whitburn's "Top Pop Singles 1955-1986" 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 " "). Ron Crandall rmc@psuvm.psu.edu
