Musikal Mania Quiz # 30 – Oldies But Goodies - 10 Points Apiece

1. In a very popular 1964 top 10 song Betty Everett proclaimed, “It's in his Kiss”. What is the real name of this song?

2. In 1961, The Marcels had a number 1 hit with Blue Moon. Who wrote the song about the ding-a-dang ding (Go real low, now!) Blue Moon?

3. Before Carly Simon's mega hits, “Anticipation” (1971 & 1972) and “You're So Vain” (1972 & 1973), she had a previous top 10 hit in 1971. What was the name of that song?

4. Shirley Ellis had a hit in 1964 with the “The Nitty Gritty” but it was with this 1965 top 10 hit that she made a name for herself and a lot of other people. What is the name of this song?

5. Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? Even if you won't, it doesn't change this fact. A well-known song writing team penned a song with that name and it became a huge hit which stayed in the number 1 slot for 6 weeks in 1960 & 1961. It was performed by “The Shirelles.” What was the name of the husband-wife team who composed the song?

6. Jimmy, Joey and Bill meant nothing to Sue Thompson. As her 1962 top 10 hit would indicate, there is only one guy with whom she would accept a date. This fellow's main appeal is that he gives her all his lovin', kissin', huggin', lovey dovin'. We can only imagine what that means! What is the name of this adolescent masher?

7. Beatles fans will surely remember The Beatles' rendition of the song "Chains." It received a lot of air play in 1964. In 1963, a group had a top 40 hit with the same song. Who? Hint: A female group, probably better known for recording “Don't Say Nothin' Bad (About My Baby)” and "Girls Grow Up Faster Than Boys."

8. Who were the only husband and wife in Top 40 history to each have a Top 40 song at the same time? Hint: It's not Sonny and Cher. Sonny had a obscure hit with “Laugh at Me” in 1965 while Sonny and Cher's “I Got You Babe” was topping the charts, but the correct answer includes two solo artists, not a solo artist and a group or pair.

9. In 1971, Rod Argent urged us to hold our heads up in a song titled, oddly enough, “Hold Your Head Up.” Though “Hold Your Head Up" was a hit, it is far from this man's only claim to fame! Rod Argent was, also, the keyboardist and songwriter for a great 60's super group. What is the name of that group?

10. Barry Manilow proclaimed, “I Write the Songs.” This song became a number 1 hit and it ranked number 8 for the year of 1976. With its smooth harmonious melody and its tender thoughtful words, it just couldn't quite pass out “Disco Duck" for the number 7 spot.” Anyway, though Barry Manilow may write the songs, he didn't write this one. Who did?
