I'm back to do the next in the Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz series.  I hope this
one isn't too tough.  Maybe even the Barry Silk and Jamie Lubin teams
will have to work hard on this quiz!
Good Luck!

Rules for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #25:

(These rules have been crafted over time by David Griboff, Valentino
  Herrera, Rick Schubert, Barry Silk, Howard Teitelbaum, Ron Crandall, and
  Carole Hanrahan.)

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 1955-1986" 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 or with a punctuation symbol
   will be alphabetized using the word equivalent of the number or symbol.

   If a song has been done by more than one artist, the correct
   response will be 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.

5) Songs WILL BE from the period 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 " ").

9) Please answer the questions at the end.

   Answers must be received by 5:00 PM EST on Friday, May 1, 1992.
   Try to e-mail early since I don't know how long it takes to get here.
   E-mail (DO NOT post) answers to:

_____________________________________________________________________________

I saw her from the corner
When she turned and doubled back
Started walking toward a coffee-colored Cadillac
#01)

Everybody in the crowd is there
But you won't let me make the scene
#02)

I won't forget all those things
You have done to me
Pains in my heart
Won't let me forget your love
#03)

I wonder if he doesn't know
That he'll reap exactly what he sows
#04)

I watched myself crawling out
As I was crawling in-n-n-n
#05)

When you said you loved me
I believed the words you said to me
Now the tears are falling
Who comes to comfort me?
#06)

Tell 'em all Hoocha, smokin' caterpillar
Has given you the call
#07)

I will kiss her sweet lips
While the magic of the moonlight
Makes her mine
#08)

The weather here has been as nice as it can be
Although it doesn't really matter much to me
#09)

I have tried to make excuses for the things you do
I've tried to be fair in every way
It's no use pretending that you haven't been untrue
It's over now so I'll be on my way-ay-ay
#10)

Bring dynamite
And a flame
Blow it up
Start all over again
#11)

Well, I've laid my cards on the table
And it's oh so plain to see
That I'm ready, willing, and able
To love you faithfully
#12)

How can we keep love alive?
How can anything survive?
When those little minds tear you in two
#13)

Please be kind
And I know you'll find
It's so easy to forgive
#14)

I've got a job on the railroad
The work is hard and long
But I'm gonna build us a future
And show your daddy he's wrong
#15)

And a thousand pretty women
They're waitin' out there
All livin' the devil may care
#16)

And when the sun come up
I'll be on top
You'll be right down there
Lookin' up
#17)

We exchange our vows to love one another
No matter how things may be
We promise to always stay with each other
Until eternity
#18)

I might love you so much
You may break my heart
I may want you so much
And all my dreams may be torn apart
#19)

Feels so good
When you're home
C'mon Baby
Rock me all night long
#20)

When she goes, she's gone
When she stays, she stays here
#21)

We gotta get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
#22)

I just don't know why
I've offered to try
When nobody here gives a hang
If I live or die
#23)

Way up on the mountain
Or way down in the valley
I know I'll be happy
Any place, anywhere
#24)

I ain't sayin'
You treated me unkind
You coulda' done better
But I don't mind
#25)
