RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #261 (GOLQ261)
Congratulations to Mike Weaver and THE GYPSY'S CARAVAN for correctly indenti-
fying all 27 songs on the quiz. Perfect 500 scores were also registered by
Will McCorry, Really Rockin' In Boston, The Coasters, and The Village Idiots.
The VI's mentioned finding songs on Youtube. The proliferation of quiz
eligible songs there has made playing a bit easier, particularly for sound
clip versions, in my opinion.
The median score was 435. The mean was 398.
Thanks to everyone who entered.
Howard Teitelbaum will be posting GOLQ 262 forthwith.

Don Costa and His Orchestra. EJ's & Co. appreciated
