RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #300 (GOLQ300)
Congratulations to The EJ's & Co. for their victory with a perfect score!
DEC & Friends, Delphi Trivia Club, and Gypsy's Caravan ID'd all regular songs,
but were out of the running by half a tie-breaker (see notes for song #T2).
Eight other entrants also did very well, missing only one or two regular songs.
After each song, I've given one or more links (YouTube, mostly). Audio
fidelity and permanence of links are not guaranteed!
As always, thanks to everyone who entered! The February 2012 quiz (GOLQ #301)
will be posted soon.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #300 ANSWERS:
Answers are in the form:
#number) Artist: "Title" (chart year) [peak Pop] {peak R&B} <xxx>...<yyy>
where:
"peak Pop" = Peak position achieved on the weekly Billboard Pop chart.
"peak R&B" = Peak position on the weekly Billboard Rhythm & Blues chart.
(Billboard didn't publish an R&B chart between 11/30/63 and 1/23/65,
so recordings in that interval show peak R&B of {n/c} ("no chart").)
"xxx",...,"yyy" = prior GOLQ(s) in which the song appeared, if any.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
#01) The Animals: "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" (1965) [13] {-} <32><104>
http://www.songwriteruniverse.com/mannweil.htm (Mann/Weil demo, end of page)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snwb-yoiaLU (U.K. version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRgBTWBilFY (U.S. version)
[A Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil composition; their demo version is linked above.
Weil has said she disliked The Animals' version because they altered the
original lyrics too much.
After releasing the song in the U.K., EMI Records inadvertently sent an
alternate take to M.G.M. (the group's U.S. label). The U.S. single & LP
releases feature this "alternate" version. The two differ in many details,
but are easily distinguishable at around the 40-second mark:
"WATCH my daddy ..." (U.K. version) vs. "SEE my daddy ..." (U.S. version).
Perhaps I'm biased by familiarity, but I think the U.S. version features
a grittier & more powerful vocal by Eric Burdon.]
If I could get my way
I'd get myself locked up today
#02) The Beatles: "I'll Cry Instead" (1964) [25] {n/c} <65>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPvNUUH7W6M (U.S. stereo & U.K. edit)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWg5E_SXbOo (U.S. mono "movie" edit)
[In the movie "A Hard Day's Night," the original plan was to use this song
to accompany the scene where the group "escapes" and frolics in the grass
(where "Can't Buy Me Love" was ultimately used). In order to match the
timing of that scene, an extended edit was prepared, featuring a reprise
of the first verse. (Note that this wasn't a "copy and paste" of the first
verse; it's actually sung another time, as it sounds slightly different.)
This extended version, mixed to mono only, was used on the U.S. single,
on the U.S. soundtrack LP (on United Artists), and on the mono release of
Capitol's "Something New" LP. The stereo release of "Something New," as
well as all U.K. mono/stereo releases, used the shorter "standard" version.
Since movies of that era had a mono soundtrack, United Artists was only
given mono masters for their soundtrack LP; the "stereo" version of that
album uses fake stereo (re-channeled mono), not authentic stereo mixes.
Another anomaly of the soundtrack LP: It lists the song title as
"I Cry Instead."]
She's in my dreams, awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
My very life, my life is in her keeping
#03) James Brown and The Famous Flames: "Prisoner Of Love"
(1963) [18] {6} <51><178>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXniBAVF27o (Russ Columbo)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zSlIhLCtog (Perry Como)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLgPI_GpsHI (James Brown)
[Co-written and originally recorded by crooner Russ Columbo in 1931.
He died tragically in 1934, at age 26, when a gun he and a friend were
examining accidentally discharged. The song was revived in 1946, with
three hit versions that year (Perry Como, Billy Eckstine, and The Ink
Spots).]
No use in you running
Or screaming and crying
'Cause you've got a home as long as I've got mine
#04) Canned Heat: "Going Up The Country" (1968/69) [11] {-} <36><151><224>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qo9R5kDZWY (Henry Thomas, "Bull Doze Blues")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=audxGqo5AkQ (Canned Heat)
[Although the song is credited to Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson of the group
(also the lead singer on the recording), the melody and flute solos were
borrowed wholesale from "Bull Doze Blues" by Henry Thomas (1928). In
Thomas' original, he accompanied himself on both guitar and quills (a type
of panflute).]
And someday I know (woh, yeah)
We'll walk down the aisle (yes, we will)
So much in love (woh-oh)
Wearing a smile
#05) The Chiffons: "I Have A Boyfriend" (1963/64) [36] {n/c} <93>
http://wfmu.org/flashplayer.php?version=2&show=32758&archive=55198&starttime=1:07:15
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be
#06) Bobby Darin: "Beyond The Sea" (1960) [6] {15} <24><207>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd_nopTFuZA (Charles Trenet, "La Mer")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8OlDPqYBLw (Bobby Darin)
[Based on the French song "La Mer," which was written & recorded by Charles
Trenet in 1946. Jack Lawrence wrote the English lyrics in 1946, changing
the theme from an homage to the sea to a love song. Instrumental versions
by Benny Goodman (1948) and Roger Williams (1956) were also hits.]
You have words with him
And your future's looking dim
#07) Tommy Edwards: "It's All In The Game" (1958/59) [1] {1} <1><94><224>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw8RZdd3Ywo ("Melody in A Major")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0LGJMcfgZQ (1951 version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gtizr2G_7Bk (1958 version)
[Edwards originally had a minor hit with this song in 1951. In 1958, he
re-recorded it, with a more uptempo rhythmic feel. In all, he re-did
three of his 1951-52 hits (the others being "The Morning Side of the
Mountain" and "Please, Mr. Sun") in 1958-59.
Prior to the addition of lyrics in 1951 (by Carl Sigman), the song was an
instrumental work known as "Melody in A Major," written by Charles Dawes
in 1912. Dawes had a far-ranging career as banker, World War I general,
Vice President (1925-29, under Calvin Coolidge), and ambassador. Dawes
and Coolidge quickly developed a very antagonistic relationship, and
Coolidge personally intervened during the 1928 Republican convention to
ensure that their presidential nominee, Herbert Hoover, did not retain
Dawes on the ticket.]
I'll beg his forgiveness on bending knee
But I wouldn't blame him if he said to me
#08) Betty Everett: "You're No Good" (1963/64) [51] {n/c} <76><204>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xUisVuPt8M (Dee Dee Warwick)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88nvqbrraqk (Betty Everett)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPSAz3a7nuU (Swinging Blue Jeans)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdPCdXfkGnc (Linda Ronstadt)
[Originally recorded by Dee Dee Warwick (earlier in '63); her version
bubbled under at #117. The Swinging Blue Jeans' version briefly charted
in 1964. The blockbuster version was Linda Ronstadt's chart-topper in
1974/75. (OK, that's well past the GOLQ era, but both Linda and her
producer, Peter Asher of Peter & Gordon, have solid '60s credentials!)
All other versions except Everett's have the first line above as
"... on BENDED knee."]
Baby, baby, since first we met
I knew in this heart of mine (I wanna tell you)
The love we had could not be bad
I played it right and bide my time
#09) The Foundations: "Baby, Now That I've Found You"
(1967/68) [11] {33} <12><119>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVdcVezLFew (Foundations)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtSuBHKhDyQ (Alison Krauss)
[They were a British band whose members were mostly from various points
in the West Indies; lead singer Clem Curtis was from Trinidad. Country
singer/violinist Alison Krauss did a lovely version of the song, with
minor lyrical differences, in 1995 (second link above).]
There's a place not far from here
Everybody who's hip will know
They've got music that just won't quit
But it's the dancers that steal the show
#10) Dobie Gray: "(See You At The) 'Go-Go'" (1965) [69] {-} <107>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGlrgQ-ncKc
[This was the similar-sounding follow-up to "The 'In' Crowd" - both songs
were written by Billy Page. Dobie died this past Dec. 6; details of his
early life are fuzzy, so his age was variously reported as 68 to 71.]
When you move up closer to me
I get a feelin' that's oo-wee
#11) Herman's Hermits: "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" (1965) [2] {-} <35><204>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfrLamhtOa4 (Goldie & The Gingerbreads)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwHdJOo7bXk (Herman's Hermits)
[An oddity during the British Invasion: The original U.K. hit version
was by an American band, Goldie & The Gingerbreads (as "Can't You Hear
My Heart Beat?"). Goldie, born Genya Zelkowitz in Poland, became better
known as Genya Ravan, the name she's used since the '70s.]
Then you do the fly
With a hand jive
Then you do the slop
The chicken and the bop
#12) Chris Kenner: "Land Of 1000 Dances" (1963) [77] {-} <183>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uwz9NcdAhUA (includes rare intro)
http://wfmu.org/flashplayer.php?version=2&show=30471&archive=50517&starttime=1:37:24 (single edit)
[Written by Kenner. Subsequent covers by Cannibal & The Headhunters (1965)
and Wilson Pickett (1966) were far bigger hits. In Cannibal's version, he
improvised the now-iconic "na, na-na-na-na" hook when he forgot the lyrics
while recording; it doesn't appear in Kenner's original.
Kenner's recording has a gospel-style intro where he actually says
the song's title; this was edited out in the single release. The
first version linked above has this intro intact:
Children, go where I send you
(Where will you send me?)
I'm gonna send you to that land
The land of a thousand dances]
After you've had it
You're in an awful fix
#13) Mickey and Sylvia: "Love Is Strange" (1957) [11] {1} <11><99><238>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDul8aWExTo ("Billy's Blues")
http://wfmu.org/flashplayer.php?version=2&show=42126&archive=72452&starttime=0:21:08 (Bo Diddley)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3333f0eUE1E (Mickey and Sylvia)
[Sylvia Vanderpool Robinson died on 9/29/11. The song is usually attributed
to Bo Diddley (his then-wife, Ethel Smith, got label credit as composer),
although there were conflicting accounts as to whether Mickey and/or Sylvia
and/or Bo wrote the lyrics. All parties agreed that guitarist Jody
Williams originated the signature guitar riff, on 1956's "Billy's Blues"
(Billy Stewart's first recording). Bo recorded "Love Is Strange" first
(with the same Jody Williams on guitar), in 1956, which tends to bolster
his claims of authorship.]
It doesn't matter if you go stag
It doesn't matter if you go drag
You're sure to have some fun
I'm telling everyone
#14) The Miracles: "Going To A Go-Go" (1965/66) [11] {2} <47><138>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-Tfm70dL5s
[Guitarist Marv Tarplin, a long-time (though often uncredited) member of
The Miracles, died on 9/30/11. He also co-wrote a number of the group's
hits, including this one.]
I wonder if you know
That you're putting on a show
Could you please walk a little closer?
#15) The O'Kaysions: "Girl Watcher" (1968) [5] {6} <14><89>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTIaRZYdGJo
I've shed precious tears
The blues are mine
#16) The Pastels: "Been So Long" (1958) [24] {4} <28>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3oQFAShCRQ
Yes, we're gonna let the world and all of its trouble
Go a-right on spinnin' by
We're gonna build one dream upon another
Clear up to the sky
#17) Gene Pitney: "(I Wanna) Love My Life Away" (1961) [39] {-} <57>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD52iAFILOc
How can I explain to you
How somebody can get so very blue
How can I tell you about my past
If all things won't end
#18) Otis Redding: "Mr. Pitiful" (1965) [41] {10} <83>
http://wfmu.org/flashplayer.php?version=2&show=42923&archive=73925&starttime=2:32:03
They give their love away
To anyone who'll say "I love you"
#19) The Searchers: "Don't Throw Your Love Away" (1964) [16] {n/c} <52><145>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLWCcwmst_0 (Orlons)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd6KXrsjTvE (Searchers)
[Originally recorded in 1963 by The Orlons, as the B-side of
"Bon-Doo-Wah."]
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel
#20) Dusty Springfield: "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me"
(1966) [4] {-} <30><100><197>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbhsKrxGZPY (Pino Donaggio)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_AtGUyu64s (Dusty Springfield)
[Original Italian version (1965) was co-written and sung by Pino Donaggio
as "Io Che Non Vivo (Senza Te)" (meaning "I Who Can't Live Without You").
He introduced the song at the 1965 Sanremo Festival; Dusty was in the
audience and said she was moved to tears by the song, despite not knowing
what the lyrics meant.]
Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
#21) Strawberry Alarm Clock: "Incense And Peppermints"
(1967/68) [1] {-} <6><102>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RghL1rViX34
[Lead singer was Greg Munford, a friend (not a member) of the band, who
happened to be visiting the studio during the recording. Munford
was the lead singer of Shapes of Sounds, another L.A.-based band.
Writing credits are a matter of controversy. Officially, the writers
were John Carter and Tim Gilbert. According to group members, Carter
(not a group member) did write the lyrics, but the melody was really
created by the group's Mark Weitz (keyboards) and Ed King (guitar).]
Oh baby
Yeah, come on and shake
#22) The Swinging Blue Jeans: "Hippy Hippy Shake" (1964) [24] {n/c} <141><221>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlkKB1JlbFg (Chan Romero)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KOiITxwWIM (Swinging Blue Jeans)
[Originally written & recorded by Chan Romero in 1959.]
Walkin' with a love, with a love that's oh so fine
Never to be mine no matter how I try
#23) The Tremeloes: "Here Comes My Baby" (1967) [13] {-} <30><171>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGlR6oFjC3A (Cat Stevens)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQXbtlbQX70 (Tremeloes; single edit)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Qrq0xFLl4 (Tremeloes; LP edit)
[Written & first recorded by Cat Stevens, on his 1967 debut album,
"Matthew & Son." Cat's original has an additional final verse omitted
by The Tremeloes. The LP edit of the Tremeloes version has about 17
seconds of intro that were trimmed for the single.]
They say candy is sweet
But it just can't compete
#24) The Turtles: "You Baby" (1966) [20] {-} <7><100><228>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN6u_1rqFKg (P. F. Sloan demo)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvIVJWwBKcY (Turtles)
[Written by P. F. Sloan and Steve Barri.]
I want a man to hold me tight
I want a man to kiss goodnight
If he is young and free
Just send him to me
#25) Sarah Vaughan: "Experience Unnecessary" (1955) [14] {-}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x09RObYkcA
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
Through the corridors of sleep
Past shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion
I don't know what is real
I can't touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion
#T1) Simon & Garfunkel: "Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall" (1966) [-] {-}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkXtiblS834 (Paul Simon, 1965)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pCfBR4xB2c (Simon & Garfunkel)
[After Simon & Garfunkel's debut LP in 1964 ("Wednesday Morning 3 A.M.")
was a commercial flop, the duo parted ways, and Paul went off to England.
In mid-'65, he issued an LP there called "The Paul Simon Songbook." A
bare-bones recording with just Paul's voice & guitar, this LP contains
early versions of many songs later recorded by S&G, including the one
featured here. The S&G version is the B-side of "I Am a Rock," as well as
being on the 1966 LP "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme."
Of visual interest is that the album cover for Songbook shows Paul with
Kathy Chitty, his girlfriend and muse during his sojourn in England.
She is referenced, either explicitly or indirectly, in a number of Simon's
compositions over the years: "Kathy's Song," "Homeward Bound," "America,"
"The Late Great Johnny Ace," etc.
In late 1965, Tom Wilson (who'd produced S&G's debut album on Columbia),
inspired by The Byrds' pioneering success in the folk-rock genre, had the
idea of dubbing electric guitar/bass & percussion onto the original
acoustic version of "Sounds of Silence." The resulting hit spurred Simon
to return to America and reunite with Art Garfunkel, thus beginning the
next phase of their partnership.]
You know I try

#T2) Doris Troy: "What'cha Gonna Do About It" (1963) [102] {-}

[The follow-up to her biggest hit, "Just One Look." Both songs were
co-written by Doris (using the pen name Doris Payne) and Gregory Carroll.
She achieved greater popularity in the U.K. (this song hit #37 there),
and she lived there in the late '60s and '70s.
Born Doris Higginson, she co-wrote (with her sister Vy Higginson) the
long-running off-Broadway musical "Mama, I Want to Sing!" based on her own
life. For many years in the '80s and '90s, Doris herself appeared in the
show, playing her mother.
The Hollies scored their first UK Top-5 hit (and first U.S. chart entry)
with their cover of "Just One Look." Not surprisingly, they covered
"What'cha Gonna Do About It" as well, on their first EP in mid-'64.
A fair number of entrants gave either The Hollies or The Small Faces as the
artist. These got partial credit (for the title, but not for the artist).
The Hollies don't fit alphabetically after Simon; The Small Faces do, but
theirs, a 1965 U.K. hit, was a completely different song with the same
title (hence, without the given lyrics).]
