Today's Final J! Music...
« on: November 21, 2006, 08:16:11 PM »
Not really a spoiler per se, as it doesn't pertain to gameplay.

Today's Final Jeopardy music was performed live by the organist at Radio City Music Hall, which was really cool (a change of pace from the regular think music).  I do distictly remember it happening one other time, but it was a pianist (unique in the fact that the first day didn't sound like the think music, then the rest did).

Now...my questions.

A) When were the other times they didn't use the regular think music?
B) Does anybody have a clip of the think music used today?
When you're at the grocery game and you hear the beep, think of all the fun you could have at "Crazy Rachel's Checkout Counter!"

There was an instance in December 2001 where an a cappella rendition of "Silent Night" was used instead.

I forgot which College J! it was, but I remember one where a marching band did the think music.
There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics, and the proper wrapping of microphone cables.

I thought they did Think, or am I thinking of something else?  I know some college group somewhere did Think

On one of the College Tournament episodes from Yale in 2003(?) the Yale Whiffenpoofs, an a capella group, sang the think music.

I was thinking Yo-Yo Ma, but he was just there for the Final Jeopardy clue on the show he guested on, right?

I suppose you can still learn stuff on TLC, though it would be more in the Goofus & Gallant sense, that is (don't do what these parents did)"- Travis Eberle, 2012

And if you want to go back to the Fleming years, various 30-second snatches of Christmas music were played during the holiday season on FJ!, along with holiday music replacing the usual board reveal cue and the closing theme (at least on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, depending on which day the show aired).

Now, if you missed it the first time, or you just like organs, here's the link to last night's musical piece:

Now, of course, since you can't get to the link without it changing back to the clue (in all the browsers I tried, anyways), here it is.

There's a trick to keeping the "response boxes" open (at least in most browsers): you have to click once on the same text that reveals the responses when you roll over it. (The clue itself most of the time, and the FJ category for FJ.)

I recall a FJ at Christmastime that was essentially an audio DD. The black woman* read a clue pertaining to the song, and then the song took the place of the think music.

* I only identify her that way because I haven't watched in so long.
