RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #459 (GOLQ459)
Congratulations to the Village Idiots team, who aced the main body of the quiz,
and got one of the tie-breakers, as noted below, just missing a perfect score.
Delphi Trivia came in at a respectable second place.
Several teams noted that this quiz was really hard. This wasn't my intention.
In the main body of the quiz I looked for songs that hadn't been used for a
while, and then threw in a favorite of mine that had never been used before
(again, as noted below). The tie-breakers were bubbling-under songs I randomly
picked while looking through Whitburn. I didn't want to make it too easy, but it
ended up going the other way instead. So my scoring is super-lenient.
Our thanks to everyone who participated.
