(April 7, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 47! 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 “Rock-n-Roll Girls” theme had seven respondents — with four achieving a perfect score! How will this week’s players fare in a contest that should be more straightforward?
This round’s category — “Music’s “Ways” and “Means” Committee” — is a nod to the tax-writing body of the U.S. House of Representatives, in view of this month’s tax season. We provide clues about music’s “ways” and “means,” you guess the correct responses.
Think you’ve got it all figured out? 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 MJ46 (“Rock-n-Roll Girls”) are at the end, along with last week’s winners. This week’s contest closes at 11:59 pm on Monday, April 13, 2026.
