GREAT NEWS:

I just received a PM from Raistlin: He thinks the format needs some work, but the basic idea is sound...Being tonight's winner, he will host a lyrics quiz next Saturday after the pub, but he's considering doing a weekly quiz!

OK, I'm lying through my teeth (I received no such PM), but random quizzes are nice imo. Perhaps others can come up with one? :)
