Newsgroups: alt.rock-n-roll.oldies From: rns@npg-sd.sandiegoca.ATTGIS.COM (Rick Schubert) Subject: Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #71 (GOLQ71) Organization: AT&T GIS, Application Development Environment - San Diego Organization: AT&T GIS - San Diego Message-ID: <9501251523.ad11635@ncrhub1.ATTGIS.COM> Date: Wed, 25 Jan 95 12:04:00 PST Welcome Oldies Fans to the 71st installment of Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz. After the 25 regular songs, there will be 2 tie-breakers. These 2 songs are not in the alphabetical mix with the other 25 but are 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. Answers must be received by 5:00 PM PST, Tuesday, February 14, 1995. 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 1955-1993" unless I have evidence indicating that source is incorrect. Songs should be alphabetized according to the following rules, unless I've made a mistake: - Artists' names beginning with "St." are alphabetized as if they were spelled "Saint". - Artists' names that begin with a number or with a punctuation symbol will be alphabetized using the word equivalent of the number or symbol. 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 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 " "). _____________________________________________________________________________ -- Rick Schubert (rick.schubert@SanDiegoCA.ATTGIS.COM)
