From: dadaco1@mail.freenet.hut.fi (T. P. Uschanov) Newsgroups: rec.games.trivia,alt.rock-n-roll.oldies Subject: CORRECTION: Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #68 (GOLQ68) Date: 24 Nov 1994 14:17:16 GMT Organization: Freenet Finland Message-ID: <3b279c$r8@freenet.hut.fi> Reply-To: uschanov@cc.joensuu.fi (TP Uschanov) It has been pointed out to me that the Tuesday early in December on which this GOLQ falls due is December 6. This means you'll have a couple more days in which to enter after 12/3, a Saturday. There has also been a minor correction to the first line of song #17 in this revised version which I now post. 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. The quiz masters wish to announce another change to section 2 of the General Rules (which appear after the lyrics). marc@world.std.com can be mailed should you have any questions regarding the new part. Good luck to all those who enter. t.p.u. Answers must be received by 5:00 PM EST on Tuesday, December 6, 1994. Try to e-mail early since I don't know how long it takes to get there. E-mail (DO NOT POST) answers to: uschanov@cc.joensuu.fi I will acknowledge receipt of entries via e-mail. _______________________________________________________________________________ Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #68 Song #s 1-25 were from 1956 through 1969 Due 5:00 PM EST, Tuesday, December 6, 1994 _______________________________________________________________________________ When the sun shines they slip into the shade And sip their lemonade When the sun shines, when the sun shines #01) My pay goes down and my tax goes up I drink my tea from a broken cup Between my woman and Uncle Sam I can't figure out whose fool I am #02) Where the trees stand so tall, wee-ee-e-oo And the dust turns to gold, wee-ooo And love never grows o-o-o-old, wwah #03) Each time I hold you I'm really in a spin You can see without your love Just where I might have been #04) When you told me that you loved me I gave my heart to you And I wondered if there could be Any truth in love so new #05) But when you're walkin' down that street And you ain't had enough to eat The glitter rubs right off #06) The pump don't work 'Cause the vandals took the handles #07) I heard about this fellow you've been dancin' with All over the neighborhood But why didn't you ask me baby?

When we don't have access to the original 45, our source is Joel Whitburn's "Top Pop Singles 1955-1990" unless we have evidence indicating that source in incorrect. Songs should be alphabetized according to the following rules, unless we've made a mistake: - Artists' names beginning with "St." are alphabetized as if they were spelled "Saint". - Artists' names beginning with a number are alphabetized using the word equivalent of the number. If a song has been done with the given lyrics by more than one artist, a correct response is one whose artist fits alphabetically between the artists of the adjoining actual answers. If you don't know which artist fits alphabetically because you have not identified adjoining songs, you may include multiple artists in your entry, but you are guaranteed full credit only if you include a correct artist. The quiz master may use his/her judgement in awarding no, partial, or full credit to answers naming only performers of versions not containing the exact given lyrics. 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 is alphabetized under Lastname. - If the last name is used as in "the Group featuring Firstname Lastname," it is alphabetized under Group. - If the last name is not used as in "Firstname & the Group," it is alphabetized under Firstname. - If no last name is used, but a nickname is used before the firstname as in "Nickname Firstname & the Group," it 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 Billboard 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. Partial credit will be given for imperfect answers. 8) Append your answers to the lines that begind "#dd)", where "dd" are two digits. You may delete the original lyrics or not; we will look for lines beginning with those 4 characters (possibly preceded by ">" and/or " "). -- t. p. uschanov internet: uschanov@cc.joensuu.fi world dadaist congress dadaco1@freenet.hut.fi joensuu * finland * europe bitnet: 126949@finujo
