Hi Oldies Fans,

A Happy New Year to everyone!!

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 enter & don't forget to look for my theme(s).

Jamie

Bony Moronie, Peggy Sue
Ain't got a love so very true
#01)

To be where little cable cars
Climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air
I don't care
#02)

He's doin' the monkey
The mashed potatoes
Jump back Jack
See you later alligator
#03)

And it's knowin' I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my memory
#04)

I got a cow that went dry
And a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day
The county's gonna haul my belongings away
#05)

You know when that shark bites
With his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows
Start to spread
#06)

I ain't got no time for lovin'
'Cause my time is all used up
We're just sittin' 'round creatin'
All that groovy kind of stuff
#07)

Why do you treat me like an overgrown child?
You know my kiss just drives you wild
#08)

I'm about to give you all my money
And all I'm asking in return, honey
Is to give me my propers when you get home
#09)

Don't be afraid of me little girl
'Cause I love you most in the whole wide world
You know I wouldn't harm a pretty beautiful thing
#10)

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from a-Texarkana
#11)

If you see me with a great big smile
At some party where the fun runs wild
If tears start to flow and I fall apart
Please don't think you broke my heart
#12)

What does she do now?
Burn up that quarter mile
#13)

One day he left his valley pad
I mean to say this cat was mad
Now lookin' 'round, he wasn't gone long
And then he ran into an amazon
#14)

Mmm, strip off your pride
You're acting like a teeny-bopper unwed child
And scrape off the paint
From the face of a little town saint
#15)

Did a dance on Mommy's plants
Climbed a tree and tore my pants
Filled that cereal bowl with ants
Somebody snitched on me
#16)

Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
But seein' you can do just so much
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure)
And that my heart is forbidden to touch
#17)

Huh, wriggle your legs now baby
Shake your hair down, uh
Do the shingaling now baby
You don't know, huh baby huh
You don't know now woman, ow
#18)

Can't you see I came to the party
'Cause I knew that you'd be here
Dance with me and stay at the party
So that I can hold you near
#19)

When the sun goes down and the moon comes up
I'm gonna go out and prowl, yeah
Don't come a-lookin' for your pussycat
'Cause I won't be here no how, whoa
#20)

And he laughed (ha ha ha), jumped back in the bushes, got a-ready to do it again
The next guy to come along was a nearsighted local DJ
Just boppin' down the sidewalk on his way to work with a box of records under his arm
That he was gonna play
#21)

When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
Who always followed you around?
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No, I'll never let you down
#22)

You don't want me
But you want me to go on wanting you
Now I pray that
You will say that we're through
#23)

My love has no bottom, my love has no top
My love won't rise and my love won't drop
I'm in the middle
And I can't stop
Loving yoooo-oo-oo-ou
#24)

Well you pretty women
Stand in line
I can make love to you, baby
In an hour's time
#25)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tie breakers:

Please don't cheat (ah-oom ah-oom)
Give me all my meat (ah-oom ah-oom)
Ooh ooh wee (ah-oom ah-oom)
So good to me (ah-oom ah-oom)
#T1)

It's the movement that gives it the sock
You find some girls who are big and fat
Some fellas don't like to see them like that
But I like to see 'em big and tall
The bigger they come the harder they fall
#T2)

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 " ").
