Many of these songs were used on past GOLQs. There is one thread that ties together a small number of songs, but there is no all-encompassing theme in this quiz. If you do not have the official GOLQ Rules (a posted copy of the rules should follow a posted copy of this quiz on most sites), you may read them by pointing your web browser at: http://world.com/~marc/golq There have been no changes to the general rules since the last quiz. If you want GOLQs and their results and answers sent directly to you by e-mail, send a message to golq-request@world.com consisting only of the word "subscribe" in the body, not the subject, of the message.
