These are the results of Gerald's Lyric's Quiz #16.
This time we had a tie for first place. Once more the Shoosters hit the best score, but this time Tom Banks did just as well. Congratulations to all of them, as well as to the 10 other contestants and teams who scored over 100 points though this was really a tough one.
As I had expected Dwight Twilley's Scuba Divers was the hardest one to figure out, yet I didn't blieve it would stump like it did.
The biggest surprise to me was that Harpo's Horoscope was the second hardest song in this quiz. I remember it was just as big as Moviestar over here in the 70s and I was very surprised to find out that this one never charted in both the U.S. and U.K.
Thanks to everybody for participating and keeping me busy maintaining this quiz.
