With that in mind...the theme(s) just keep on comin'!! Let me know what you find. Expect this quiz to be on the difficult side for most of you. As with all of my previous quizzes, the lyrics were obtained from recent radio broadcasts. 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 my specific artist. There have been no changes to the general rules (which appear after the lyrics). Note new FAX # below. Good luck to all those who enter (even those who don't, he said magnanimously). Jamie Answers must be received by 5:00 PM EDT on Tuesday, May 9, 1995. Try to e-mail early since I don't know how long it takes to get here. E-mail (DO NOT POST) answers to: jil@donuts0.bellcore.com I will acknowledge receipt of entries via e-mail. If you don't receive an acknowledgment, I can be reached at (908)699-7929 or FAXed at (908)336-2347 _____________________________________________________________________________ Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #75 Song #s 1-25 were from 1955 through 1969 Due 5:00 PM EDT, Tuesday, May 9, 1995 _____________________________________________________________________________ And tears (and tears) will fall (will fall) as you (as you) recall The moon in all it's splendor A kiss (ooh a kiss) so very tender The words "will you surrender" to me #01) Living is easy with eyes closed Misunderstanding all you see It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out It doesn't matter much to me #02) Let's hit it Two up Two back Two kicks and a clap Lookin' nice Jackie Gleasons #03) Cop's face is filled with hate Heavens above, he's on a street called love When will they ever learn Old cop, young cop, feel alright #04) Young hearts can go their way Can't put it off another day I don't care what others say They claim we don't listen anyway #05) There's dimples on her elbows, dimples on her knees There's dimples on her elbows, dimples on her knees She thrills and thrills me with just a little squeeze #06) I got pigs, I got horses, I got cows, I got sheep I got all livestock I got all livestock I got allll liiivestock #07) I went down to Miami I met a girl name of Sammi The moon was bright The time was right I said-a "hey girl I love you, oh what you wanna do?" #08) I don't need you like the stars don't need the sky I won't love you longer than the day I die You don't please me when you squeeze me #09) I'll love you fore-ever Then you'll be mi-ine alone I promise I'll never Leave you all alo-one I-I-I-I need you (da-da-day da-da-day) I truly, truly need you (da-da-day da-da-day) Do anything to please you (da-da-day da-da-day) #10) You gotta jump You gotta jive You gotta dance To be alive #11) Now I'm gone and livin' on my own, uh-huh-huh Got me a boy, I know he's mine alone, uh-huh-huh He's the kind of boy a girl can take home, uh-huh-huh I know I've got my boy to marry 'Cause my life's been a bowl of cherries #12) You know names have been changed To protect you and I-I-I-I-I I love you darling I love you so And I'll never le-et you go #13) I was shooting dice Rakin' in the dough (long green) And then I heard A whistle blow #14) Unrequited love's a bore, yeah And I've got it pretty bad But for someone you adore It's a pleasure to be sa-a-ad Like a straying baby lamb With no mama and no papa #15) Oh-oh-oh, do the monkey (do the monkey) A-do the twist (do the twist) Everybody, it goes like this #16) The trees are drawing me near I've got to find out why Those gentle voices I hear Explain it all with a si-i-i-i-i-igh #17) So many things to say I could read 'em in a book, read 'em in a book of a thousand pages, yeah So many people say That I couldn't tell a lie, couldn't tell a lie in a thousand ages #18) If a flame is to grow, there must be a glow To open each door there's a key I need you I know, I can't let you go Your touch means too much to me Two lips must insist on two more to be kissed Or they'll never know what love can do #19) 'Cause it's 3 a.m., there's too much noise Don't you people ever want to go to bed?

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 is 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 begin "#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 " "). -- Jamie Lubin Standard disclaimers apply jil@donuts0.bellcore.com
