(February 6, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 39! It’s the weekly music challenge where the blog provides the clues… and you provide the responses. Each clue has point values — no dollars! The player(s) with the most points gets bragging rights.
This round’s category — “Starts With A Roman Numeral” — is about song titles whose first letters are also Roman numerals! I’ll provide the Arabic number and a clue, you guess the correct response!
You should have watched enough TV or seen enough Super Bowls to know your Roman numbers by now. Think you can guess these clues? There’s only one way to find out: read on!
You can post your responses in the “Your Thoughts” box below (they’ll be withheld from view until the contest closes), DM me on social media, or email me. Please don’t be that person who posts answers publicly on social media and spoils it for everyone.
All correct entries will be recognized in the next Music Jeopardy! post. The prize, as always: eternal bragging rights.
Below are this week’s five clues plus three bonuses. Answers to last week’s MJ38 (“It’s Awards Season!”) are at the end, along with last week’s winners. This week’s contest closes at 11:59 pm on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2026.
