| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Apr 02 05:55PM -0700 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #351 (GOLQ351) Hello everyone and welcome to the April edition of the GOLQ quiz. As is typical, many of the songs are pretty recognizable and some are stumpers. To help with more difficult songs you should know that all of the artists (or at least one group member) share a particular career facet. The tie-breakers are included in this. Some of the songs may be particularly obscure so they have been included as audio snippets; you may be able to recognize the voices. Some of you may identify a secondary theme with respect to the genre of some of the songs. It was not intended, but probably comes about as a consequence of the aforementioned career facet. Confused? You won't be after you solve this months GOLQ! You may download either the individual mp3 files or a 1.6 MB ZIP file containing all 2 sound clips at: http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ351/GOLQ351.zip Mike Weaver <golq351@golq.org> ============================================================================ Blindly searching for lyrics on the Internet is not in the spirit of the GOLQs, and we disapprove of this practice.

Fatally flawed question. Mo Farah has represented England and Great Britain, Rio Ferdinand has represented England, and no other nation and Chris Hoy has represented Scotland and Great Britain. Where is the common denominator? -- "To err, as they say, is human. To forgive is divine. To err by withholding your forgiveness until it's too late is to become divinely fucked up." ― Jonathan Tropper, The Book of Joe |

As as I can tell this is correct, so there is no correct answer. In that case, I'll accept all of those possible answers. So it's 4 for Pete, Peter, Erland, Calvin, and Stephen.
