Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Your opener this time are the lyrics 'All the chapel bells were ringing in the little valley town'. Can you name the group who had the transatlantic hit?

Answer: The Browns

The Browns topped the Billboard pop chart in 1959 with 'The Three Bells (The Jimmy Brown Song)' and also reached #6 in Britain. The song was later a minor UK hit for Brian Poole and The Tremeloes.

2. Next up are the lyrics 'Sweeter than candy on a stick, huckleberry, cherry or lime' - but what was the title?

Answer: Lollipop

'Lollipop' was a transatlantic hit for The Chordettes in 1958, making it to #2 on Billboard. It also reached #6 on the British chart, but the British cover of the song by The Mudlarks fared even better in peaking at #2.

3. Name the song which includes the following lyrics - 'Everybody's gonna have religion and glory, everybody's gonna be singing this story'

Answer: A Wonderful Time Up There

All were hits for Pat Boone, with 'A Wonderful Time Up There' making #2 in America and #4 in Britain back in 1958.

4. Complete the lyric - 'Where the river is winding'...

Answer: big nuggets they're finding

The song in question is that goldrush tale 'North To Alaska'. It was a #4 hit in the US in 1960 for Johnny Horton, and also reached #23 in Britain.

5. It's name the artist time again - here are your lyrics: 'I know it's me they're talking about, I bet they all think I'll never find out'.

'Maybe I Know' took Lesley Gore to #14 in the US and #20 in the UK in 1964.

6. The lyrics this time are 'Bring me back my darling, be my friend for life, I don't want a new lover, I just want a true lover'. Can you pick out the song title from these possibilities?

Answer: Say I Won't Be There

'Say I Won't Be There' was a UK #5 hit for The Springfields in 1963, following on from their success with 'Island of Dreams'. The group featured Dusty Springfield prior to her huge solo success, and also had an American hit in 1962 with 'Silver Threads And Golden Needles', which strangely failed to chart in Britain.

7. 'My one and only prayer is that someday you'll care' - Very recognisable lyrics and a big hit in 1958, but who had a UK hit with the song in 1964?

Answer: Billy Fury

'It's Only Make Believe' was a chart-topper on both sides of the Atlantic for Conway Twitty. Billy Fury's cover got to #10.

8. Complete the lyric: 'You spray your hair a different shade'...

Answer: we're going to a movie not a masquerade

The lyrics come from 'Warpaint' by The Brook Brothers. It was their only UK top ten entry, peaking at #5 in 1961 and was a song complaining about a girl putting on lots of make-up. It always makes me smile.

9. Can you name the song which features these lyrics: 'I'm burning like a flame dear, I'll never be the same dear'?

Answer: You're Driving Me Crazy

A version of the old classic 'You're Driving Me Crazy' took The Temperance Seven all the way to #1 in 1961. They also hit the UK top ten with 'Pasadena'.

10. And finally for this quiz I give you the lyrics 'We could touch the stars, way up in the blue, if you'd only say, darling I love you'. Can you name the singer?

Answer: Michael Holliday

Michael Holliday's version of 'Stairway of Love' got to #3 in the UK in 1958. A version by Terry Dene made #16. 'Heaven waits for those who dare to climb (ah-ah-ah) the stairway of love'.

So how did you do? A few more 1950s teasers thrown in there. I hope you enjoyed the quiz, let me know how you got on and I'll get to work on part ten.
