			GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #36

Welcome to Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #36 (or, for those of you already thinking
Super Bowl, "GOLQ XXXVI").  Remember to set aside some time to work on this
quiz in between opening presents, overindulging in eggnog, and watching 17
consecutive football games on New Year's Day.

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 and 1969 but did not hit the
Top 100 on the Pop chart; although there may have been charted covers of
these songs, I believe these early versions to be much more well known.

The general rules appear at the end of the quiz.  Please note that I have
expanded on Rule #4 slightly ("Songs will not be repeated ..."), to cover a
situation that arose on several recent quizzes.

Good luck and Happy Holidays!

Maybe I'm just wasting time
Can't get you off my mind
You could make me feel so good
I know you could, if you only would
#01) 

You know, I'm still livin' in town
But I done married and settled down
Now I really have a ball
'Cause I don't browse around at all
#02) 

Just get an electric guitar
Then take some time and learn how to play
And when your hair's grown right
And your pants are tight
It's gonna be alright
#03) 

I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
#04) 

You still got time
So make up your mind
What's it to be?
Do you want me?
#05) 

He's got me
Oh, why can't I get him?
#06) 

It may be hard to discover
That you've been left for another
But don't forget that love's a game
And it can always come again
#07) 

Put your glad rags on
And join me, hon
#08) 

I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one night stand
#09) 

How it all comes back to me
The movies every Saturday
The place we used to go to eat
I want so much to have it like it used to be
#10) 

Drive-in movies every night
Double features
Lots more time to hold her tight
#11) 

Three nights and days, I sail the sea
I think of girl, constantly
#12) 

When you're all alone, far away from home
Someone's gonna flirt with you
I won't think it's wrong if you play along
Just don't fall for someone new
#13) 

Going to the corner
Pick up my sweetie pie
She's my rock-n-roll baby
She's the apple of my eye
#14) 

Caught up in a summer shower
Drying while it soaks the flowers
Maybe we'll be caught for hours
Waiting out the sun
#15) 

Everywhere I go
Your face I see
Every step I take
You take with me
#16) 

As far as I can see
This is heaven
And speaking just for me
It's ours to share
#17) 

So I took my guitar, picks and all
Bid farewell to my poor old Pa
Split for Memphis where they say "y'all"
And them swingin' cats are havin' a ball
#18) 

When you hold my hand
I understand the magic that you do
#19) 

Believe me when I say how much I love you
Believe me when I say how much I care
Forgive me, give me peace of mind
All I need is time
To prove my love for you
#20) 

Three deuces and a four speed
And a 389
#21) 

Remember when you held me tight
And you kissed me all through the night
#22) 

The cars keep a-goin' faster all the time
Bum still cries "Hey buddy, have you got a dime?"
#23) 

Well, babe, you know I love you so
I'd praise the world if you could know
But when I see you coming down the street
My heart skips a beat
#24) 

I know she's the kind of girl
To throw my love away
But I still love her so
Don't hurt me now, don't hurt me now
#25) 

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

If your old man ain't treatin' you right
Come up hear and see old Dan
I rock 'em, roll 'em all night long
#TB1) 

Looking for a far off land
I'm just a drifting man
And I know not where to go
#TB2)

General Rules for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quizzes:

(These rules have been crafted over time by the GOLQ Authors:  Rick Schubert,
  Barry Silk, Howard Teitelbaum, Ron Crandall, Carole Hanrahan, Jamie Lubin,
  and Dan Murphy.  They are based on earlier quiz rules by David Griboff and
  Valentino Herrera.)

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 a different artist.  However, a
   different song with the same title may be used.

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 " ").
