Hi Oldies Fans,

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 my (mini) theme(s)
which hopefully may aid you on this DIFFICULT quiz.  I decided to run a hard
quiz as my last one (GOLQ56) was on the easy side (20 entrants IDd > 1/2 of the 
songs) & also because I figured there would be less entrants during the summer.

Good luck to all those who dare to enter.

Jamie

There's one day I dream of (dream of, ahhh)
The day I can bring (can bri-ing, ahhh)
My token of tru-u-ue love (ooh-ahhh)
Your engagement ring
I love you
#01)

Once there were valleys where rivers used to run
Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above
Once they were part of that everlasting love
#02)

Each night, in dreams, I see your face
Memories time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you've gone
Then I'm so blue and all alone
#03)

There's a story in our town of the prettiest girl around
Golden hair and eyes of blue
How those eyes could flash at you (how those eyes could flash at you)
Boys hung around her by the score, but she loved the boy next door
Who worked at the candy store
#04)

In time, just tell me your problems
And you'll find out baby, I'll solve 'em
If your late one mornin', a-don't hurry
If you got big trouble, a-don't worry
Just depend
On your friend
#05)

Smoke and fire upon the sea
Everywhere they looked was the enemy
The heathen Gods of old Japan
Yeah, they thought they had the best of a mighty good man
#06)

I don't want much
The good Lord's earth beneath my feet
A gentle touch
From that one girl and life is sweet and good
#07)

A land of bluebirds and fountains and nothing to do
But cling to an angel that looks like you
And when you hold me
How warm you are
Be mine my darling
#08)

While away from everywhere
We'll share our love forever
We won't miss the world at all
We'll have our own world together
#09)

You'll always break the finest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall
So if I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all
#10)

For six long days and dreary nights they tried to find her trail
Churchill told the people, "put every ship asail
'Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be"
#11)

Kiss me (kiss me) I love the way that you kiss me (kiss me ooo-ooo)
There's only one thing wrong with the way that you kiss me (kiss me yeah)
Now your kisses are sweeter than sugar and plenty strong enough (strong enough)
But the bad part is you don't kiss me long enough
#12)

My jealous eyes have learned
To take a look or two
They were too blind to see
That I was losing you
#13)

I know she got on in Baltimore
A hundred and ten miles ain't much distance
But it sure do make a difference
I don't think she loves me anymore
#14)

From the moment I could feel this crazy beat
You gotta lose control of your two left feet
Give me mountain juice
Turn me loose
Leave me wave my arms about
#15)

Things we did together
You said they'd never end
Now until forever
Oh yeah, that's what you said
#16)

You can do any step you chose
It's a dance that is rhythm and blues
So shake your shoulders and shuffle your feet
And keep in time to that low-down beat
#17)

And if you need a little lovin', call on me
Lord have mercy
And if you want some kissin', call on me baby
That's all you got to do now
No more lonely nights would you be alone
#18)

I've given up on schemes
'Cause every one fell through
I've given up so many things
Don't ask me to give up on you
And baby, baby
#19)

When you're done and there's only one
Who will your honey be? (dip-da-didda-dip)
Hear my plea, won't you let it be
Me, it better be me
#20)

'Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
Learned to spin fortune wheels
And throw dice
I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
Knew I couldn't stick around
I had to roam
#21)

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet
A pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
#22)

'Cause you've got four arms (the better to hold you)
Three lips (the better to kiss you)
Three eyes (all the better to see)
(I can really rock and swing)
('Cause I've got more of everything)
#23)

Forgive me for wanting you so
But one thing I want you to know
I've loved you since heaven knows when
#24)

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Givin' all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doin' things that you don't understand
#25)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tie breakers:

Heaven, hea-aven thank you for
Blessings from above (do do do do do do do-waaah)
Mo-o-o-ost of all I thank you for
Sending me her love (do do do do do do dah dah dah dah dah dah aaaah)
#T1)

I-I'll walk across the desert
Bear the blistering sun
Just to hear you say dear
That I'm your only one
For I-I love you
#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 " ").
