| "David B" <askforemail@gmail.com>: Dec 04 03:05PM 2. This brand of cigarettes was first produced by Liggett & Myers in 1963. It was notable for its charcoal filter but is probably best-remembered in the US for a TV commercial in which people were exhorted to "show us your <answer 2> pack" to the William Tell Overture. (To be honest, Stan Freberg's commercial for Jeno's Pizza Rolls, which was a parody of this commercial, is even better-remembered.) The brand is still manufactured today by Altria but is much more popular in Japan than in the US. Lark 5. This American sitcom of the 1970s featured a widowed mother and her five children who record a Top 40 song and then go on tour. The family is very loosely based on The Cowsills. The Partridge Family 9. This American skateboarder was the National Skateboard Association's world champion for twelve years running. (No, I don't know how a national association has a world championship.) He was the first skateboarder to successfully land after a 900-degree turn. Since retiring in 1999 he has done many things, including producing an eponymous series of skateboarding video games. Tony Hawk -- David B http://waterfalls.me.uk |

The general answer would be United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as that is what it says in the results.

| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Dec 10 11:12AM -0600 RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #346 (GOLQ346) Congratulations to our FOUR co-winners, each with perfect scores: The EJ's, Village Idiots, DEC & Friends, and Delphi Trivia. Kudos also to Really Rockin' In Boston and Will McCorry, who identified all 25 songs in the main part of the quiz. A number of teams may have known the theme, but Team Teitelbaum was the only entrant to specifically state correctly that all the artists were teenagers or pre-teenagers when their recordings hit the charts (or, in the case of the tie breakers, when the recordings were released). Will McCorry noted that all the artists were under 21, which is also a true statement. As always, thanks to everyone who entered!
