RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #474 (GOLQ474)
Congratulations to Mike Weaver, Randy Price, Really Rockin' In Boston,
Team Teitellion, and The Village Idiots for a five-way tie for first,
all with perfect scores. Virve Juopperi came in with 500 points, but
didn't identify either tie-breaker. Nobody scored less than 460, with
the average score being 491.
The theme, of course, was "summer" and things associated with it.
While working on the quiz, I discovered that the same theme had been
used in GOLQ406. So I went for songs that weren't used in that quiz;
you could call the theme "Summer Part II". I also tried not to reuse
lyric snippets that had been used in previous quizzes, which was a bit
difficult in some cases. Twenty-one songs were recognized by all teams.
I'm not sure if that's a record, but it has to be close.
Thanks to all who participated. Rich Ardini has posted GOLQ475.
