Hi Oldies Fans!!

Well, the quizmaster giveth & the quizmaster taketh away.  My last quiz (GOLQ35)
was the easiest quiz since Irish's Xmas-theme quiz (GOLQ20); this quiz should
be more difficult, even though...well, more about this in the answers & results.

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 songs have
in common is that they were released between 1955 & 1969, but failed to reach
the Top 100 on the Pop charts; the songs have not been covered.

There have been no changes to the general rules.

Good luck to all those who respond--you'll probably need it!!

_____________________________________________________________________________

When you smile, I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show you
I'm glad I got to know you
#01)

Happiness is what I long for
Loneliness is why I cry
For you I've made my mind a slave
And now it's up to you
#02)

I looked into the muddy waters and what did I see
I saw a lonely, lonely face just lookin' back at me
Tears in his eyes and a prayer on his lips
And the glove of his lost love at his fingertips
#03)

I love you
I love you
Are you too far above me to hear?
#04)

Oh you carry me through
All of life's little burdens
I'd be lost without you
#05)

You gave me all your love
But I misused it
I never knew how lonely loneliness could be
And now I need you dear as you once needed me
#06)

You know I'm jealous of you
And yet you seem to try
To go out of your way to be unkind
#07)

When we marry, we will have a time you never saw
I will be so happy I will kiss me mother-in-law (phooey)
Children by the dozen in an old tobacco hut
One for every palm tree and coconut (hurry up now)
#08)

I've laid around and played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone
Yes, winter's comin' on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
#09)

I blocked the path of his retreat
He turned and stepped into the street
A dozen guns spit fire and lead
A moment later he laid dead
#10)

Each night I sit alone and tell myself
That I will fall in love with someone else
I guess I'm wasting time
But I've got to clear my mind
#11)

Come on baby, don't you be shy
You know that I love you, let me tell you why
You got a heart, I know that it's true
I couldn't love you any more than I do
#12)

If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charm
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what I found in your arms
#13)

You scare my girl
You eat my cheese
You even drink my wine
I've tried so hard to catch you
But you trick me all the time
#14)

I know I was wrong
But I was just a fool
Too blind to see
You were the only girl for me-e-e
#15)

Stop the game (stop the game)
Got too much to lose (too much to lose)
If you stop me again
That's when we might end
So please don't refuse (please don't refuse)
#16)

And when we're dancin'
It almost feels the same
I've gotta stop myself from whispering your name
#17)

People come to windows
They always stare at me
Shake their heads in sorrow
Sayin', "who can that fool be?"
#18)

They've forgotten when they were young
And the way they tried to be free
All they say is "this young generation
Is just not the way it used to be"
#19)

The nights when you don't sleep
That whole night you're cryin'
But you can't forget her
Soon you even stop tryin'
#20)

They say a man should never cry
But when I see you passing by
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
#21)

If I see you tomorrow
On some street in town
Pardon me if I don't say hello
I belong to another
It wouldn't look so good
To know someone I'm not supposed to know
#22)

Called up some girl I used to know
After I heard her say hello
Couldn't think of anything to say
Since you've gone, it happens every day
#23)

Once more I feel your kisses
Once more I know what bliss is
Comes dawn, my darling, you're gone
#24)

She said "no one is better than I"
And I know I'm just an average guy
No football hero or a smooth Don Juan
Got empty pockets, just say I'm a poor man's son
#25)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tie breakers:

If that diamond ring don't shine
He gonna take it to a private eye
And if that private eye can't see
He better not take the ring from me
#TB1)

I have cried so much for you (for you my dear)
I have almost died for you (for you my dear)
I hope you do decide (to be my love)
Then you will realize (that you belong to me)
#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 the 1955-1969 only, of course!!

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 " ").
