These six are denoted below by (*) before the #) . To hopefully save you of any further inconvenience, I've extended the quiz deadline by 2 weeks, to January 16, 1996. ************************************** ** IMPORTANT ** NEW RULES IN EFFECT ** ************************************** Please pay attention to the new rules, effective as of GOLQ85. Most importantly, this is the first GOLQ to utilise the rules allowing for limited recycling of songs used in previous GOLQs (see section 7 of the rules). Also, section 9 of the rules now requires entrants to delete the lyrics from their answers. Answers must be received by 5:00 PM ET on Tuesday, January 16, 1996. Try to e-mail early since I don't know how long it takes to get here. E-mail (DO NOT POST) answers to: . You do not post answers to any Usenet newsgroups or other publically accessable forums. You just e-mail your answers privately to me. If you see this in a newsgroup, DO NOT CHOOSE FOLLOW-UP, choose Reply. Got it? I will acknowledge receipt of entries via e-mail. ________________________________________________________________________ Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #86-A Songs #01-25 were from 1955 through 1967 Due 5:00 PM ET, Tuesday, January 16, 1996 ________________________________________________________________________ I don't want to sound complainin' But you know there's always rain in my heart #01) They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz But when the sun went down the rapid tempo of the music fell #02) Look at the people!
