GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ (GOLQ) #135 Good evening, fellow aficionados of the classics. This is the first quiz to come to you from Israel and you know what an unpredictable people we are. We offer no theme, however, do hint that a few of the two line lyrics are obscure but discernible through an astute reading of your well worn top 100 scroll. The songs are from the magic years 1957-69. Remember to mark your calendar to 6:00 PM EST, Tuesday, January 26, 1999, for anyone who submits, even a minute beyond, shall be denied entry to the eagerly awaited results posting. Give the quizmaster a tiny break and submit early for he is new at this endeavour and easily confused. He has a simple address based on his name: chamish@netvision.net.il If you are new to the arena or just can't grasp the rules after all this time, then you can find them posted at ftp://bobcat.bbn.com/pub/golq/FAQ/rules There have been no changes to the general rules since the last quiz, but pay attention to them anyway. If you want GOLQs and their results and answers sent directly to you by e-mail, send e-mail to golq-request@world.std.com consisting only of the word "subscribe" in the body, not the subject, of the message. We will play by these posted rules, though we are far less tolerant of any uncalled for lack of decorum. If it was called for, we don't care. My colleagues on Team Asia will play but disqualify themselves individually from the songs they contributed. Trust me, there's not a cheater among them. Now have fun or I'm never doing this again.
