(March 24, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 45! 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.
Last week, our “Have a Nice Green Day!” theme had seven respondents — including one newcomer — with an impressive six achieving a perfect score! Only an anonymous player missed clues. How will this week’s players fare?
This round’s category — “March Madness” — is in honor of the ongoing NCAA tournaments and busted brackets all over the world. We provide clues about “mad” song lyrics and artists? You simply need to guess the correct responses.
Think you know your “mad” music trivia? 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. And, if you’re sending an anonymous comment, please remember to include a name or alias so we can give proper credit.
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 puzzle’s MJ44 (“Have a Nice Green Day!”) are at the end, along with that week’s winners. This week’s contest closes at 11:59 pm on Monday, March 30, 2026.
