RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #291 (GOLQ291)
Thanks to Iris for her compliment that our GOLQ was an "egg-cellent way to say
Hoppy Easter!" Others made similar comments about how sweet the quiz was, how
a trip to the dentist will be in order, etc. Iris's team, The Gypsy's Caravan,
along with almost every team that entered, correctly identified our Easter
theme. Congratulations to the Caravan and four other first place teams: The
GenaTeam; Really Rockin' In Boston; Will McCorry; and the Delphi Trivia Club;
all of which achieved maximum scores of 500++. The two tiebreaker songs proved
too easy and didn't break any ties!
Thanks also to all of the entering teams for their participation, though
we missed seeing entries from some the regulars.
Ho ward Teitelbaum has already posted GOLQ292.

#T2) Garland, Judy, and Fred Astaire: Easter Parade (1948) (-) {-}
Note: Both tiebreakers were first released well before the GOLQ's defining
years, but both songs were also well known during the GOLQ era and beyond
so we felt comfortable using them and the results indicated they were both
perhaps too easily recognizable for tiebreakers. Peter Cottontail received
considerable airplay throughout the '50's. "Easter Parade," the title song
from the 1948 movie that starred Garland and Astaire, has been covered
many times by a variety of artists over the years, including Bing Crosby,
Rosemary Clooney, Fats Domino, and others. Consequently, we gave credit
for a number of different artists.
============================================================================
The following table ranks the songs from most recognized to least recognized.
The first column indicates the average number of points scored on that song
(total points divided by number of entrants). For comparison purposes,
tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale.

Tom note: We were not surprised that "The Walrus" and "Bird Dog" fared so well
despite the few lyrics we provided, an indication of how etched into our minds
those songs are. We are afraid to venture a guess at the significance every-
one also recogizing Napoleon XIV's looney tune :-)

I should have specified "land border" so no one was tempted to include
Morocco sorry. It doesn't make any sense to include the external territory
of Gibraltar (ie the UK). By that reckoning Australia borders Norway via

But Spain does have a land border with Morocco. Two of them, in fact. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceuta
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melilla
Ceuta and Melilla are considered by Spain to be an integral part of
Spain, unlike Gibralter and the UK, for example. The citizens there
elect members to Spain's parliament, again unlike Gibralter and the UK.

I'm inclined to accept that. Any arguments to the contrary?
Note that if I do I'll still accept the expected answer of 3.

Why? That answer is incorrect.
The answer of 5 should also be accepted, since it's impossible to read
your thoughts to know you count Gibraltar. In fact, I would have no problem
to accept if you would count that as the only correct answer.
