Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz 333 (GOLQ333)

[The GOLQ Institute]

Congratulations to our FIVE co-winners, each of whom had perfect scores:
DEC & Friends, Delphi Trivia Club, EJ'S & Co., Really Rockin' In Boston,
and Village Idiots.

Just behind the leaders were Barry Silk, who got all of the regular songs,
and Will McCorry, who missed just one.

On a sad note, Lori of the Vito & the Salutations team noted that their entry
was "minus one of our beloved members, the late Warren Fellman, who passed away
last month. We dedicate our entry to Warren!"

After each song, I've given one or more audio links (YouTube, mostly), if
available. Sound quality and permanence of links are not guaranteed.

As always, thanks to everyone who entered! The November 2014 quiz (GOLQ #334)
will be posted soon.

-- Howard Teitelbaum

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #333 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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why can't our love go on forever?
To let it end would surely be a sin
I could never look for any other love, dear
#01) Eddy Arnold: "I Wouldn't Know Where To Begin" (1956/57) [22] {-} <->

If I had forever
With nothing else to do
I don't know if I could show
Half my love for you
#02) LaVern Baker: "I Can't Love You Enough" (1956) [22] {7} <254>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY4ZkB5qRZc

If you resist
Look what you miss
Baby, if it's late at night (nighty-night)
Or if the sun is shinin' bright (brighty-bright)
#03) Hank Ballard: "Do You Know How To Twist" (1962) [87] {-} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUGfsMC7G68

Nominally credited as a Hank Ballard solo, but The Midnighters provide
backing vocals. Song comprises new vocals recorded over the instrumental
track of the group's big 1960 hit, "Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go."

I still hear your sea winds blowin'
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
She was twenty-one
#04) Glen Campbell: "Galveston" (1969) [4] {-} <88><168>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arYwREJ2KnU (Don Ho, 1968)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHjWil-f3C8 (Glen Campbell, 1969)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_YK_L_Fr4Q (Jimmy Webb, 1972)

Written by Jimmy Webb. First recorded by Don Ho in 1968, as the B-side of
"Has Anybody Lost a Love?" (an uncharted single). When Ho was a guest on
Glen Campbell's Goodtime Hour in 1969, he gave the host a copy of his
recording, telling him "I didn't have any luck with this, maybe you will"
(per Campbell's recollection of the event). Webb recorded the song himself
for his 1972 album "Letters." Not sure if the 1-minute monotonic guitar
intro in Webb's version is truly part of the song, or if it's an intermezzo
between songs on the album.

The recently released movie "Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me" documents his
farewell tour in 2011/2012, which followed his announcement that he had
been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
#05) Crosby, Stills & Nash: "Marrakesh Express" (1969) [28] {-} <60><168>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9p_zQxONXs (Graham Nash demo)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFijDetwdPg (CS&N)

Written by Graham Nash, during his latter days as a member of The Hollies.
He presented the song to his then-bandmates, but it was rejected.

Before we say we're in love
Are we right for each other?
Can what we feel be lasting love?
#06) Dale & Grace: "Stop And Think It Over" (1964) [8] {n/c} <70>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5HYZpwk7T8

Similar sound to their chart-topping "I'm Leaving It Up To You."

It'll take time, I know it
But in a while
You're gonna be mine, I know it
We'll do it in style
#07) Donovan: "Sunshine Superman" (1966) [1] {-} <117>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5skVznVvk8Q

She smiles so nice like she wants to come with me, uh-huh
But she's tied to the dock and she can't get free
#08) Every Mothers' Son: "Come On Down To My Boat" (1967) [6] {-} <9><171><259>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-056FPxXTmI (The Rare Breed, 1966)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EHe3p3cSHI (Every Mothers' Son, 1967)

First done by The Rare Breed in 1966, as "Come and Take a Ride in My Boat."

They know the hurt and pain
Of losing a love you can never regain
#09) The Four Tops: "Ask The Lonely" (1965) [24] {9} <51><177>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZG5dazL6S4

If she finds that I've been 'round to see you
Tell her that I'm well and feeling fine
#10) Herman's Hermits: "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter"
(1965) [1] {-} <11><134><281>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsaXnZSipBA (Tom Courtenay, 1963)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA1uknS9JgM (Herman's Hermits, 1965)

Originally recorded by actor Tom Courtenay for a 1963 British TV play,
"The Lads"; Courtenay's original was then released as a single in the U.K.
When Herman's Hermits recorded their version in 1965, they considered this
old-fashioned-sounding song as LP filler, and it was not deemed worthy of
U.K. single release. At the height of the British Invasion, though, any
material from England was chart gold in the U.S.

Sometimes she'd shop
And she would show me what she'd bought
#11) The Hollies: "Bus Stop" (1966) [5] {-} <6><88><147>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LoBAeogYcs (Hollies, 1966)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43RBe0hOh2A (Graham Gouldman, 2012)

Second link is a recent acoustic version by composer Graham Gouldman.

How long can I go on amusing myself?
Night after night, sitting all alone
While you're in the arms of someone else

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvC6YOXhY04

Trio is best known for their 1971 #1 hit "Want Ads."

Just tuned my car, now she really peels
A-lookin' real tough with chrome reverse wheels
A Blue Coral wax job sure looks pretty
#13) Jan & Dean: "Drag City" (1963/64) [10] {-} <53>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngMP6hhlmmk

And he plays at stocks and shares
And he goes to the regatta
He adores the girl next door
'Cause he's dying to get at her
#14) The Kinks: "A Well Respected Man" (1965/66) [13] {-} <12><233>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAjsjbC0Nd4

Why did I listen to my friends
When they told me what to do?
Yes, I still have my friends
But I don't have you
#15) Brenda Lee: "Everybody Loves Me But You" (1962) [6] {-} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJGDgjBpg7s

There I found an angel
An angel I could love
She told me that she knew me
That I'd been spoken of

Who doesn't love you

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ5RKG2FqGo

Except to pray
That there'll come a day
When love will start
A flame in your heart
#19) Rick Nelson: "There's Nothing I Can Say" (1964) [47] {n/c} <->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84G6F3owsZc

I play the game
Pretending out loud
But it don't seem the same
#20) Roy Orbison: "The Crowd" (1962) [26] {-} <153>

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzbEhRyeuo4 (Jack Denny, 1932)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K-WRXProdo (Linda Scott, 1961)

This song originated in the 1932 Kern/Hammerstein Broadway musical "Music
In The Air," and was a hit that year for Jack Denny & His Waldorf-Astoria
Orchestra, featuring vocals by Paul Small. Title was originally spelled
as "I've Told Ev'ry Little Star."

Every time I feel a little groove coming on, I just have to move
I got a tune I play
I got a song I sing
I got a dance I do, yeah-yeah
You can do it, too

his solo career.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSyw11B3qH8 (The J-Band, 1999)

Song was first recorded by Jim Jackson in 1928. The Spoonful's version is
from their 1965 debut album, "Do You Believe in Magic"; it was also on
their 1967 best-of LP.

John Sebastian was closely associated with the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, who
recorded the song in 1963 (vocals by Geoff Muldaur). Sebastian has
performed over the years with various Jug Band alums (Kweskin, Muldaur,
Fritz Richmond, etc.). Final link is a 1999 rendition by Sebastian's
J-Band, featuring Muldaur's vocals and John on harmonica.
