| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Nov 06 03:45AM -0600 GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #346 (GOLQ346) ************************************************************************* * The previous version of GOLQ346 posted was an incorrect, prerelease * * version of the quiz. There have been many changes to this version. * ************************************************************************* Welcome to GOLQ346! All songs in the quiz, including the two tie breakers, share a common characteristic, although that characteristic may be harder to identify than the songs themselves. Note: the stumper lyric "bobba" in #17 could possibly be spelled "baba" or "boppa." However, regardless of the actual spelling, if you know the song you will recognize the lyric. Enjoy!
