| GOLQ Mailing List <list@golq.org>: Apr 02 10:48AM -0700 GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #363 (GOLQ363) Hello and welcome to oldies lovers world-wide. By popular demand the audio snippet format makes its return for this quiz. For those of you who may not have participated in this format type: The quiz consists of snippets from Billboard charted songs. The snippets are of varying lengths; some are quite short. Some are well known; others not so much. If this were a standard lyrical text quiz it would be quite difficult to solve (and to put together!). There is, however, a commonality (or in the broad sense "a theme") that exists in most (darn near all) of the snippets and/or titles that should make things much easier. I expect high scores for this one. You may download either the individual mp3 files or a 7.0-MB ZIP file containing all 27 sound clips at: http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ363/GOLQ363.zip Have fun, everyone!
