I apologize for being a little snarky with my original post,

Pfft. I can handle snark just fine.

Wow, someone holds quite a grudge.

It wasn't meant to be a joke.  If I was on the show, I would have given that clue.  The only clues I can think of that could possibly get "Batman" on the first clue are Gotham and Riddler.

So, wait, not only would you have given a horrible (and likely illegal) clue, but you would do so even knowing there were better clues you could give?

You're something special, you are.

Since when is it illegal to hum a theme while giving the clue.  I have never seen a clue with a tune in it buzzed for illegality unless the clue word itself was illegal.

The reason why I would hum the tune within my clue is because the 60s theme is a well known theme.  However, I will change hero to gotham but still hum the tune in the middle.

No more, though.

It isn't illegal.  Nor is "Robin" an opposite.  Why are we still arguing about it?

Yeah.

Honestly, I gave this up a while ago.

Really, why the hell is everyone jumping all over the idea of working a melody into a password? They did that on the show on many occasions, and sometimes it even worked.

(Worst clue possible: Say "I'm" in a very clipped, deep voice.)

The occasion that comes to mind for me was the "Tony Orlando and Dawn" puzzle on the Super Password finale.

3 of the words were "Tie", "Yellow", and "Ribbon".

Contestant Michelle used that song to convey "Tie" and "Yellow" to Betty White, with perfect results.

The second you start humming, you're not giving a one-word clue anymore. Go ahead and do it, and Nelson Muntzs across the country will point and say "HA-ha!" as the buzzer sounds.

Now, if you mean something like "Gah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-AH-THAM", you might get away with it, but I don't think it's nearly as no-brainer legal as you seem to.

(Oh, hell. Look who I'm taking to. Screw it.)

I watch Super Password and Password Plus every day.  Hardly a day goes by without someone singing a clue just as you described above.  Trust me, it's legal.

That is what I mean.  Now I haven't watch P+ or SP lately because of classes and work, but can anyone recall someone doing that with a legal word and getting buzzed?
