(June 9, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 55! 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.
These are all in fun and open to everyone! We took a week off last week. Our last puzzle’s theme — “A Night at Studio 54!” generated a record high ten respondents — all of whom achieved a perfect score, although an explanation will be needed for some of the respondents (we’ll do that momentarily).
How will this week’s players fare?
This round’s category — “I Can’t Drive 55!” — is a car-and-driving themed board. Think you know your popular car hits? There’s only one way to find out: play along!
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 MJ54 (“A Night at Studio 54!”) are at the end, along with last week’s winners. This week’s contest closes at 11:59 pm on Monday, June 15, 2026.

Here are the results from Music Jeopardy 54! – Category: “A Night at Studio 54!”
Clue 1 (100 pts): What is “Le Freak”?
Clue 2 (200): What is “Thank God It’s Friday”?
Clue 3 (300): What is “Got to Be Real”?
Clue 4 (400): What is “Take Me Home”?
Clue 5 (500): Who are Peaches & Herb?
Bonus 1 (1000): Who is Victor Willis?***
Bonus 2 (1500): What are “I Love the Nightlife (Disco Round)” and “Disco Nights (Rock, Freak)”?
Bonus 3 (2000): What is “Do That To Me One More Time?”
Winners: Tim Kelley, Tim McDonnell, David Custer, Barb Lopez, Matt Mullen, Luis Ortiz, Matt Charboneau. ***Three players — Dave R, David Bernstein, and JHRoss — responded to Bonus 1 with Jacques Morali as their answer. Initially, I considered that answer incorrect but our judges determined that the clue’s phrasing could imply that Morali was indeed correct (although his 1991 death far preceded the MAGA movement). So everyone gets full credit for those answers.
Again, good luck with Music Jeopardy 55! The answers and results will be revealed next week.
