The Quizzes
The Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz (GOLQ) is the longest-running Internet-based quiz.
Rick Schubert created the first GOLQ on September 5, 1990 and posted it
to the Usenet newsgroup rec.games.trivia.
A new quiz was published every three or four weeks through April, 2001.
Starting in May, 2001, quizzes have been published monthly.
How well do you know your oldies? Enter this month's GOLQ and see.
You'll find lyrics or audio clips from 25 songs, in alphabetical order by artist,
that hit the pop charts during the years 1955 to 1969.
Some people get them all — some get just a few.
