Hi Oldies Fans,

Welcome to the 1st quiz following the 1st meeting of the current quizmasters
(2/12, World's Greatest Doo-Wop Festival, Meadowlands Convention Center,
Secaucus, NJ).

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).

Don't forget to let me know if you think you've figured out any of my (mini)
themes.

Good luck to all those who enter.

Jamie

I don't hear your knock upon my door
I don't have your lovin' anymore
Since you've been gone, I'm hurtin' inside, yeah
Well I want you baby by my side
#01)

And the northern girls, with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
#02)

A-then I started thinkin' 'bout a-no more winkin' at the pretty little gals a-boppin' by
A-no more dancin' and a-no romancin', Lord it made me want to sit down and cry
Aw no pool shootin' and a-rootin' and a tootin' with the boys if I take you for my wife
I can't go no place, I gotta look at your face for the rest of my doggone life
#03)

How low can you go?
#04)

Just name the day
That you like the best
Only stay away
On my day of rest
#05)

And when you're there
You'll be so glad I found you
Come with me
Don't say no
Hold me close
#06)

When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said
#07)

They're shining so bright
From heaven above
Gee we're gonna miss you
Everybody sends their love
#08)

I want a love that's true sir
Not a love like you sir
You weren't true to one and two
You won't be true to me
#09)

Oh it all began with just one little dance
But soon it ended up a big romance
#10)

Hey little girl this ain't no time to sleep
Let's count kisses 'stead of counting sheep
How, how can I hold you near
With you up there and me down here
#11)

And it would hurt, hurt to know
If you ever were untrue
Sweeter than the taste of a cherry so sweet
#12)

His back is funny and his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school (which I do)
You may grow up to be a mule
#13)

Welcome to my lips
Welcome to my arms
Oh, welcome to my, my heart
Girl, you are welcome to everything I have to offer you
So come on and now take it, take any part, yeah yeah yeah
#14)

But did he ever return
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned
#15)

Ahhh-ah-ah
Ahhh-a-a-a-ah
O-oh down in the jungle where no one goes
Oh there's a dance that no one knows
#16)

Hospitality's thin there
Wonder just what's goin' on in there
Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smoky cloud
#17)

I don't want you
But I need you
Don't want to kiss you
But I need to
#18)

I said a-come on baby it's hot in here
And it's oh so cool outside
If you lend me a dollar, I can buy some gas
And we can go for a little ride
#19)

I could tell your future
It will come to pass
I can do the things to you
Make your heart feel glad
#20)

So any time you're gettin' low
'Stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant
(Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant)
Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant
#21)

Yesterday it rained in Tennessee
I heard it also rained in Tallahassee
But not a drop fell on little old me
#22)

When I look into your eyes
A reflection of a face I see
I'm hurtin', downhearted and worried, girl
'Cause that face doesn't belong to me
#23)

L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
#24)

I-I'm sure that you know that I love you with all of my hea-art
But a love that's true really takes two to start
I wanna do my share (I wanna do my share)
To show you that I care (to show you that I care)
#25)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tie breakers:

People tell me love's for fools
So here I go breakin' all of the rules
#TB1)

You weakened my defenses
With your tender kisses
You knew when you loved me
I never would resi-ist
#TB2)

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 " ").
