RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #241 (GOLQ241)
The teams of Really Rockin' In Boston, Randy Price & Peter Morley,
and The Village Idiots each had perfect 500 scores. RRIB however
claims first place, as they were the only entrant to correctly
guess the artist for tie-breaker #T1. The Coasters missed only
one regular song. Hugh Brodie had the highest score for an
individual entry.
The mean score was 384. The median was 380.
Thanks to everyone who entered.

this song. I'm guessing the most widely known is by
Eric Clapton. Havens did this excellent version on his
MIXED BAG album.
