RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #33 (GOLQ33)--REVISION

(Results & song recognition rankings have been modified due to the receipt of
an absentee ballot delayed by e-mail problems)

Congratulations to the "Ode To Barry Joe" team (Barry Silk & Joe Haertel) on
their victory (& for being the only team to identify song #23; all other songs
were identified by multiple entrants).  The Crandall Nittany Lions & the
Schuberts achieved excellent scores.  Good scores were also turned in by Team
Teitelbaum, Team Dorin, Irish & the Without Jamie team (BTW, I consider it a
"good" score when at least 15 song TITLES are identified).  Some of you even
identified some (but not all of) the mini-themes (threads or motifs) that I
included in this quiz.

Thanks to all who took time to enter.

Rick Schubert will be posting GOLQ34 very shortly.

                              Jamie jil@donuts0.bellcore.com

P.S. Thanks to those of you who had nice words for me re my quizzes!!

#01) Anka, Paul: "A Steel Guitar And A Glass Of Wine" (62) [13]

The Sheriff" for the Bobby Fuller Four in '66]

Boudleaux & Felice Bryant]
[Rick pointed out that it also reached #1 on the R&B & country charts & that a
1981 version by Barry Gibb & Victoria Principal hit #51 on the pop charts]

Ramblin' around this dirty old town
A-singin' for nickels and dimes
Times get rough
I ain't got enough
#07) Fireballs: "Bottle Of Wine" (67/68) [9]
[Howard pointed out that they backed up Jimmy Gilmer on "Sugar Shack"]

Since I kissed his lovin' lips of wine

Hey hey, set me free
#08) Francis, Connie: "Stupid Cupid" (58) [14]
[Rick stated that it was written by Neil Sedaka, who recorded an uncharted

All I want from you
Is for you to be true to me
#09) Gaye, Marvin: "I'll Be Doggone" (65) [8]

So with my best, my very best

And I will thank Him every day
For every kiss you're givin'

Over the highway and over the street
Carpets of clover I'll lay at your feet
Oh well there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
#15) Nelson, Rick: "For You" (63/64) [6]

That crazy dance (ooo-ooo-ooo)
Well that was the ruin (ooo-ooo-ooo)

Painted wings and giants' rings
Make way for other toys
One gray night it happened
Jackie Paper came no more

metaphor rumor about this song]
[Rick added that surprisingly it was #10 on the R&B charts]
[Peter produced at least 3 animated specials of Puff The Magic Dragon for
CBS-TV]

Well, now that I'm old and ready to go
I get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
Had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble and pain
But then, whoops, oh Lordy, well I'd do it all again

It's an illusion
Try, try, try and you will only come
To this conclusion
#22) Sinatra, Frank: "Love And Marriage" (55/56) [5]
[Theme song on Married...With Children TV show, which The Dutch Officials point
out is very popular in Europe too!]
[Also accepted Dinah Shore]

But every step I make, every step that I take
I'll make it up to you, I'll make it up to you
Undo the wrong I've done, undo the wrong I've done
I've been unfaithful, I know it's true, but I'll make it up to you
#23) Temptations: "All I Need" (67) [8]

Because it takes more than an effort
To stay away from you
It take more than a lifetime
To prove that I'll be true

hit #1 on the R&B charts]
[2nd song in the quiz with Got What It Takes in the title]

I know that you've been askin' 'bout me, huh huh
But I'm sorry, but I've got somebody new
And my hurtin' is just about over
But baby, it's just startin' for you
#25) Yuro, Timi: "What's A Matter Baby(Is It Hurting You)" (62) [12]
[Rick stated that it reached #16 on the R&Bs]

Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him two lips like roses in clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
#TB1) Chordettes: "Mr. Sandman" (54)
[Howard added that this hit #1 on the pop charts & that it was covered in 1954
by Buddy Morrow & His Orchestra (#20), The Lancers (#28) & The Four Aces (#5).
Also covered by Emmylou Harris in 1981 (#37)]

I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
#TB2) Haley, Bill, And His Comets: "Shake, Rattle And Roll" (54)
[Released 7/54; originally done by Joe Turner in 4/54]
[Howard noted that the Joe Turner version hit #22 on the pop charts (#1 on R&B);
Haley's version hit #7 on pop charts.  Arthur Conley's 1967 version was #31 pop,
#20 R&B]
[Rick mentioned that he'd heard that Joe Turner was called "Big Joe" because of
his size 19 feet.  However, Rick disagrees with Howard & states that Turner's
version only hit #20 on the R&Bs; OK, fess up guys, which of you got his
information from a CNN/Gallup poll of likely voters ;-)]
[Haley's version was a toned-down version of Turner's (e.g., Haley's next line
in the above lyrics was "I can look at you, tell you don't love me no more;"
Turner's next line was "Well I can look at you and tell you ain't no child no
more.").  I purposely left out the 3rd line so that I could accept either
artist as a correct response]
[Haley's 1st guitar was made out of cardboard]

 26     2.5  #19)  My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me)
 27     1.3  #23)  All I Need


I "expected" the following songs to have done a bit better:

All I Need & Baby (You've Got What It Takes).

In addition, I would have thought that I'll Be Doggone would've scored a lot
higher & that Bottle Of Wine would not have done quite as well.
