We do not understand why so many GOLQ quizmasters have ignored this entire group of bona fide hits. To rectify this bonification, we have included the following section on a trial basis. Please, do well on them. Together, we can exert pressure on the cabal of old-time GOLQ quizmasters to allow instrumentals to take their rightful place in lyrics quizzes. Following are lyric fragments from two instrumentals that fit all the criteria for inclusion in a GOLQ, and not just as tie-breakers. They are completely independent of the GOLQ with respect to themes and alpha- betization, although they are alphabetized with respect to each other. Don't count on anything more than being mentioned in the results for coming up with the right answers!
