(July 21, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 61! 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 — “Chick-Fill, Eh?” — is in recognition of this month’s news that the popular fast-food restaurant Chick-fil-A was knocked from the top of a Customers Satisfaction survey by Jersey Mikes after an 11-year reign. However, the chickens are still alive and kickin’ in popular music.
These are all in fun and open to everyone! Last week’s theme — “Diamond Jubilee!” generated just four respondents — three of whom achieved a perfect score. How will this week’s players fare?
Think you know all about chicks in music? 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.
