From: T P Uschanov Newsgroups: rec.games.trivia,alt.rock-n-roll.oldies Subject: GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #92 (GOLQ92) 1/2 Date: Thu, 2 May 1996 16:38:03 +0300 Organization: University of Helsinki Message-ID: To: tuschano@elo I am still keeping alive the tradition of following a quiz on which I did spectacularly badly with a quiz of my own that will probably turn out to be spectacularly challenging. This GOLQ is hardly a beautiful, weak-willed child everyone can love; I used a kind of golden scraps approach instead. I hope there is something for everybody. There has been no change to the general rules. Answers must be received by 5:00 PM ET on Tuesday, May 21, 1996. Try to e-mail early since I don't know how long it takes to get here. E-mail (DO NOT POST) answers to: tuschano@cc.helsinki.fi -- once again let me emphasise the fact that your entries are supposed to reach only me, so if you see this in a newsgroup or other public forum, please don't do anything you're not sure about. I will acknowledge receipt of entries via e-mail. ________________________________________________________________________ Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #92 Songs #01-25 were from 1955 through 1969 Due 5:00 PM ET, Tuesday, May 21, 1996 ________________________________________________________________________ Close your eyes and I'll kiss you Tomorrow I'll miss you Remember I'll always be true And then while I'm away I'll write home every day #01) Then it got cloudy and started to rain I tooted my horn for the passin' lane Rainwater blowin' all under my hood I knew that was doin' my motor good #02) Now my world used to be warm And there never was a storm But now you've gone, and everything's turned upside down #03) One fine day I'm gonna be the one to make you understand Oh yeah, I'm gonna be your man (hey hey hey!)
