The Answers You've All Been Waiting For:

Nobody got all the answers to last Thursday's rock and roll quiz, but three entrants did hit 39 of the 40 questions correctly. They were John Leshy '66 of Kirkland House; Jim Sersich '68 of Lowell; and Suzanne Snell '66 and Joel DeMott '67 of Eliot Hall. Almost everyone was stumped by question number 32, which asked for the source of the lines, "Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain, I need your sweet love to heal the pain." This lovely couplet comes from Tommy Hunt's unjustifiably obscure "I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself," which is perhaps the greatest song ever made.

Here are all the answers:

1. La La La La La--Blendells.

2. Ya Ya--Lee Dorsey.

3. Um Um Um Um Um Um--Major Lance. (We apologize profusely for a printer's error which dropped the last "Um" in the quiz.)

7. Ne Ne Na Na Na Na Nu Nu--Dick Doo and the Don'ts.

12. Ooby Dooby--Roy Orbison.

13. Ookey Ook--Penguins.
