Rock 'n' Roll Trivia (Petula Springfield edition)

UPDATE: Tossing in the last couple of answers.

Okay, I'll admit it. I used to confuse these two ladies. Once got mocked by a former boss because of this. I know, I know, one has a clear, beautiful voice and the other has a husky, sensual voice. But damned if I could ever remember which is which.

Well, that's not true now but it was at one time. I think I have the two lovelies sorted out now.

Anyway, I used to have a great (seriously, GREAT) knowledge of the oldies of 50s and 60s pop music. Seriously, once a supervisor who came of (pop music) age in the early 60s was impressed at how much I knew of the era (most specifically, I impressed her because I came up with Lou Christie as the singer of the "Lightning Striking" song - that was [GAWD] something like 20 years ago).

But despite my incredible knowledge, I still confused these two gals. And perhaps I will confuse you too. Or not.

In any case, here are some questions about the songs of the Lovely Petula Clark and the Lovely Dusty Springfield:

1) What cannot mend this heart of mine? [Joel: Silver threads and golden needles]

2) There isn't an ocean too deep nor a mountain so high it can keep me away. What must I do? [Lisa: I must follow him]

3) It's crazy but it's true. What is? [Joel: I only want to be with you]

4) You can linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty. Where? [Joel: Downtown]

5) The only boy who could ever teach me was who? [Laura: The son of a preacher man]

6) You walk out on me when we both disagree. But don't do what? [Answer: Don't sleep in the subway, darling]

7) If you're looking to find love you can share, what do you have to do? [Greg: All you gotta do is hold him and kiss him and love him and show him that you care]

8) Every day when the work is behind you and the shop and the store put the lock on the door. But don't let the day get the better of you. Why not? [Greg: Because I know a place where we can go]

9) Don't tell me what to do and don't tell me what to say. Why not? [Kate: Because you don't own me]

10) Your love for me is getting so much stronger, and I won't have to wait much longer. You call me up whenever you feel lonely and tell your friends that I'm your one and only. What is all this? [Nightfly: It's a sign of the times]

11) I'm left alone with just a memory and life seems dead and so unreal. You don't have do something, but you have to do something else. What are these things? [Nightfly: You don't have to say you love me, just stay close at hand]

12) When it seems your friends desert you, don't be afraid because you can do what? [Answer: You can call me (don't be afraid to just call me)]
