While 1996 is almost history, Gerald's Lyrics Quiz #04 definitely is.
Thanks everybody for participating. Once again you set up a new record with 48 entries coming through in time (and I'm afraid a couple of folks might have missed the deadline according to the holiday season).
I'm proud to announce a new winner. After two second places in the previous editions the "I Love Abstracts"-Team finally made it to #1. Congratulations!
