RESULTS : Fourth 40 years of music Lyrics Quiz
Eric van Gorkom
lyrics quiz. Thanks to all participants (42) for the effort you
all put in it, and for the positive reactions. The fifth quiz is
already mailed to the participants of this quiz and posted to UseNet
(rec.games.trivia and nl.muziek); I hope you all join in again. If you
haven't received the new quiz yet, or you can't find it on UseNet, just
mail me and I'll send you a copy.
If you find mistakes (always possible) in the results, please let me
know.
As far as I can see now, this quiz can go on another few months without
me having problems to reach my E-mail 8*)
After a one-quiz-break, the IDIOTS have won again. The winner of the
third quiz (Brooklyn USA) already mentioned that they would get a hard
task to beat the IDIOTS this time, but George's Tune Crew came in real
close... The number of participants that have 300+ points is still
increasing : After two times 5, we now have 10 people who have reached
this number of points. Still the highest score is from quiz number 2,
when the IDIOTS had 395 points.

55. If ya hear me coming ya better step aside
A lotta men didn't and a lotta men died
With one fist of iron and the other of steel
If the right one don't get ya then the left one will
=55= Sixteen tons - Tennessee Ernie Ford
The version of Johnny Desmond was in the charts at the same time.
Written and also performed by Merle Travis
56. Hey diddle diddle
I am playin' my fiddle
Ain't got nothin' to lose
=56= Roll over Beethoven - Chuck Berry
57. I want to love you like a lover should
Your fine, so kind
I gotta tell this world that your mine mine mine mine
=57= Great balls of fire - Jerry Lee Lewis
The last few entries were checked with the movie "Great balls of
fire" as a background...
58. And now for you nice ladies and gentlemen out there who don't
understand the Italian language, I'd like to do two choruses in
British.
=58= Lazy Mary - Lou Monte
Many guesses were on "Volare" by several artists, but only two
participants were correct on this one.
59. There's no use in me a-cryin'
I've done everything and I'm sick of tryin'
I've thrown away my nights
Wasted all my days over you-ou-ou-ou-ou-hou
=59= It doesn't matter anymore - Buddy Holly
Written by Paul Anka
60. Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
=60= Are you lonesome to-night? - Elvis Presley
(Some people still gaze at their doorstep and picture Elvis there)
[Q] August 1969, another (live) version of this song was recorded
(although not released then). What was 'special' about it?
That was the famous "Laughing version", in which Elvis sung "Do you
gaze at your bald head, and wish you had hair", which he found so
funny, he couldn't sing the rest of the song. Recorded at the
International Hotel in Las Vegas. A few of you thought it was from
his comeback special (but that was in '68) or from Woodstock.
61. Dan, just think about that barn
With that hay it's soft and warm
For it's only three more miles to Mary-Ann
It's only three more miles to Mary-Ann
=61= The Blizzard - Jim Reeves
62. Down by the river
That flows by the coal yards
Stand wooden houses
With shutters torn down
(A hint for Dutch participants (this song isn't very well known over here) :
This song was recorded with a Dutch text in 1965, and was a hit that year)
=62= Patches - Dickey Lee
The dutch song was "Patsy" by Rein de Vries, and was almost a 1 on 1
translation of the Dickey Lee song.
The Irish Gang : "Some silly song about "A mouse with clogs going clip
clippidy clop on the stairs"?? or "A mouse lived in a windmill in old
Amsterdam" ?????????". Nope. You mean "A windmill in old Amsterdam" from
Freddy and the Dreamers (performed in Dutch by Rudi Carell, "Een muis in
een molen in mooi Amsterdam")
63. For just a little while
I thought that I might loose the game
Then just in time I saw the twinkle in your eye
=63= From a jack to a king - Ned Miller
Recorded in 1957
64. They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me
=64= Dang me - Roger Miller
65. Please don't wear red tonight
This is what I said tonight
=65= Yes it is - Beatles
66. Robbing' people with a six-gun
=66= I fought the law - Bobby Fuller Four
67. More than working for the rich man
Hey, I'll change that scene one day
=67= Friday on my mind - Easybeats
[Q] From which country is this group?
The group was founded in Australia, but the members were
Scottish and Dutch. So the answer (and the thing that most
sources mention) should be Australia, but if you gave Scotland
AND The Netherlands, it would be OK too. Because they went to the
UK in '66, that would give you 2 points.
68. Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger til dawn, dear
=68= Dream a little dream of me - Mama Cass with the Mamas and the Papas
69. From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
=69= Pinball Wizard - The Who
70. Early in the morning she hits the ride down to Louisville
Holding on to a hundred dollar bill
Dressed herself like a cajun queen in New Orleans, babe
Yeah, she looks good like a lady (Do it to me James)
=70= Mississippi - John Philips
71. You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
=71= Imagine - John Lennon & Plastic Ono Band
A perfect score for this one!
72. Hey that's what I'm livin' for
=72= How do you do? - Mouth and MacNeal
[Q] Which country does this act come from?
The Netherlands
73. I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?
=73= You're so vain - Carly Simon
74. If you've got a problem
Don't care what it is
If you need a hand
I can assure you this
=74= I can help - Billy Swan
75. So play play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry
A real hurting song
About a love that's gone wrong
Cause I don't wanna cry all alone
=75= Hey won't you play another somebody done somebody wrong song
- B.J. Thomas
76. Now we're old and grey [..]
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums [..]?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
=76= Fernando - Abba
77. Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be
=77= Blue Bayou - Linda Ronstadt
[Q] Who sung this originally?
Roy Orbison
78. Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
=78= Dust in the wind - Kansas
79. It's not in the way that you hold me
It's not in the way you say you care
It's not in the way you've been treatin' my friends
It's not in the way that you stayed till the end
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do
=79= Hold the line - Toto
80. So I waited with high hopes
And she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant
I knew the curve of her face
=80= Escape (The Pina Colada song) - Rupert Holmes
The last #1 hit in '79 in the Billboard Hot 100.
81. S'accrocher toi a ton reve
=81= Hold on tight - Electric Light Orchestra
82. Kind hearts don't make a new story
Kind hearts don't grab any glory
=82= Kids in America - Kim Wilde
[Q] Who was the father of this artist?
Marty Wilde
83. We are young
Heartache to heartache we stand
No promises
No demands
=83= Love is a battlefield - Pat Benatar
84. Outside's the rain, the driving snow
I can hear the wild wind blowing
Turn out the light
Bolt the door
=84= Cover me - Bruce Springsteen
85. It's my own desire, it's my own reward
Help me to decide, help me make the most of freedom
And our pleasure, nothing ever lasts forever

=86= I'm your man - Wham!

And you give yourself away
And you give and you give
And you give yourself away
=87= With or without you - U2

I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it

You make me crazy, but I want you still

Soul is in the musical
That's where I feel so beautiful
=90= Vogue - Madonna
[Q] From which album comes this song?
I'm breathless, which served as a soundtrack for the Dick
Tracey movie. That answer (Soundtrack of D.T.) would give
you 4 points.
91. Don't tell me it's not worth fighting for
I can't help it, there's nothing I want more
=91= (Everything I do) I do it for you - Bryan Adams
[Q] In which movie did this song appear?
Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves

So you can be on top for once

Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down

Like the River Jordan
And I will then say to thee
You are my friend
