Here they are, the results of Giga's EZ Lyrics Quiz #3.

I was astonished by the number of reactions. Thank you! I really appreciate
the trouble you all took to send your answers!

The Mighty Zorba shows he's mighty by winning the quiz. Congratulations!
The New Zoo Revue and The First Easterners have done great, too. (Hey, the
top three teams are called "The *". Conincidence?).

Here's the scorelist:

And I'm sure you all want to know the correct answers:

1.  "A schoolboy's dream, you act so shy
     Your very first kiss was your kiss goodbye"
    You Give Love A Bad Name / Bon Jovi
    [some thought this was Living on a prayer]

2.  "You stick a needle in your arm
     You bite the dust, you buy the farm"
    Hey stoopid / Alice Cooper
    [difficult! only 2 good answers]

3.  "And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene"

     And if you receive your calling before I awake
     Could I make it through the night"

    Addicted To Love / Robert Palmer

10. "Loves her mama, loves Jesus
     And America too"
    Free Fallin' / Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
    [minus one point if you didn't meantion the Heartbreakers. This one was
     the easiest]

    Dirty Boulevard / Lou Reed

12. "My expectations may be high
     I blame it on my youth"
    A Good Heart / Feargal Sharkey
    [as far as I know he only had one hit]

13. "And I got Mary pregnant"

    [a tough one, but still 9 correct answers]

14. "Now if you wanna dance
     baby here's your change"
    Give It Everything You Got / Edgar Winter
    [the difficult one, and indeed: the only quote no-one got]

15. "I was stumblin' through the parking lot
     Of an invisible 7-eleven"

So the sticker goes to The First Easterners! Congratulations. Too bad for
The Mighty Zorba that ZZ's Quiz #3 was to first one he entered. The Not
So Gigantic Dutch Officials are a good number 2 (hi guys! :) and The New Zoo
Revue score a fine #3 with only 2 quizzes to send answers from. And I'd like
to especially mention David Mattingly who scored 10 points with his third
quiz preventing himself from being last in the total score.

I hope you all enjoyed these quizzes, anyway I did. And thanks again to all
the people who took the trouble to send their answers. Thanks and maybe
I'll make another quiz next year (slim chance though because of lack of time).
