Subject: Zella's long awaited 1973 lyrics quiz
All of the following songs were out in the year 1973. Some were number one hits; others were quite obscure. Some artists appear more than once in the quiz. I did most of these straight from memory, so if you find an error, please let me know.
As songs are identified, I will put the initials of the identifier in front of the song...
FB1. 110 in the shade, and the pavement was steaming
JC2. Glory sight, got de dawnin' Lordy light the night away

21. I was warned not to look in his eyes
22. The time had come for her to choose between the good life and the blues
FB23. Always knew the time would come when I would start to wonder why
24. I never thought about it but I never really doubted the fact
25. You've got the warmest place that I've ever found
FB26. Long nights cryin' by the record machine
FB27. Then I guess she had to crash
RR28. If it gets me nowhere, I go there proud
JC29. Somehow, someday, things are gonna be so different
30. They've got men making laws that destroy other men
FB31. I've made up my mind, on what I'm gonna do
GS/FB32. I still want you by my side just to help me dry the tear that I've cried
RR33. Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me
JC34. Whenever you're around me I just want to belong to you

CD38. I look for the light through the pouring rain
JC39. We've got synthetic food that nearly tastes real
FB40. And I'm wonderin' how I'll get downstairs
JC41. Can't be like the rest is the most he'll confess
RR42. There he stood in the night knowing what's wrong from what's right
RR43. Everywhere I look I see your eyes
AN44. But you know it didn't take too long, till she'd lost her way
FB45. We take all kinda pills that give us all kinda thrills
A46. Took me by the hand, led me far across this land

Yes, you are correct, as far as the indentity of the song is concerned. Perhaps Oz got it in 1972, but here in the US, it was out in the summer of '73 --that's when I bought the record. If it had been out in '72 in the US, I never would have heard it, as I was still listening to the 'ma and pa' radio station at that time, and they wouldn't have played it... :-/

Quoting:
I hadn't seen this quiz before. Wow! Such varied choices within but one year... I'm impressed, and will likely be more so when I find out what the ones I don't know / can't recall are.
20. California Saga (On My Way To Sunny Californ-i-a) - Beach Boys
44. Close Your Eyes - Edward Bear
51. Keep On Singing - Austin Roberts
52. Dreidel - Don McLean (an Andrew classic)
61. My Maria - B. W. Stevenson

57. It's definitely Steely Dan ... I can't sing it through yet... I'll be back if/when I can
Finally back... the tune is "Show Biz Kids", I believe

Billy, on #25 you have teh correct song title but the wrong artist and song! QMS did do a song by that name, but it is completely different...
#67 is correct! Good job on that one! :D (Actually it is Everyone's Agreed that Everything Will Turn Out Fine - but close enough)

Never even heard of the Pioneers... :o
I think it may have been a remake, but I am looking for the group that recorded it in 1973, of course. :)
