Well, very few people jumped on this, so the masses have spoken: no more
quizzes after this. I thought it might be fun, but....You people either
never listened to the radio, are ashamed that you did know these, gave a
flying fuck, or you'd rather argue about Dancing Queen. And then you
don't even know the words to Dancing Queen (see below), so what do you
all know? Maybe I should have thrown in a few big words to get the
brainiacs involved. Or signed it under Cantwell's name...but I'm not
bitter <g>
