ME: There ya go! (Audience laughs and applauds) We'll let that slip by once, because it can be argued they weren't singing (more laughter). Kourtney, you just said "want," while Kevin added the "wanna." Kevin, you got your first ten points, and I bet you feel a little silly singing that, don't you?
KEVIN: A little. (Audience laughs)
EDGAR: Quite frankly, I feel violated playing that song! (Everyone laughs)
ME: Oh, Edgar. Gotta be ready for anything here on the new "Fandango." That goes not just for our contestants, but also for our jukebox. Although...what he said gives me a wicked idea for the next show.
EDGAR: Uhh...wicked as in good? Or, wicked as in bad?
ME: You'll see, but I digress. Kevin, let's choose a bonus category. Anything but RHYME TIME or TV THEMES.

These questions involve the artists and events surrounding the plane crash that killed three of rock-and-roll's earliest stars. Blake, how much is it worth this round? (She touches the screen...BONG!)  50 points, so average difficulty. James, if Kevin is wrong, it goes to you. Kevin... Edgar will do the singing now. He's going to sing the opening lines to a hit song by one of the artists killed in the plane crash. When he stops, just name the song. Edgar, sing it...
(Edgar sings the following...)
EDGAR: "Hellooooooo, baaaaaby! Yeah, this is The Big Bopper speakin'. Oh, you sweet thing. Do I what? Will I what? Oh, baby...you KNOW what I like!" |

ME: Right! Nicely done! (Applause) One of the classics, that's for sure. Kevin has 60, Kourtney has 150, and James has 10. Chance for the champ to catch up here with our next question... EDGAR: Which will come from me and is for our host! Jonathan, you are a big history buff, are you not? ME: I am. EDGAR: Try this one. There's an invention that goes all the way back to Ancient Times. It allows people to see through walls. Do you know what it is? ME: See through walls...got me. EDGAR: A window! (Audience laughs and applauds) You like that, crowd?! ME: That was pretty good, Edgar. I'm still executing my wicked idea on the next show, though. EDGAR: Oh, Jonathan, you know I always try to stay on your good side (laughter). In any case, here's a special prize for our players. (Prize cue plays)  EDGAR: From Dorling-Kindersley, you'll get a gift certificate to choose any of their award-winning illustrated reference books. Learn thousands of fascinating facts from history to Hollywood, from science to sports. They're the books that show you what others only tell you, and they're yours if you answer this next question correctly. ME: Thanks, Edgar! Hands on buzzers for this toss-up. In 1954, Elvis Presley made his first and only appearance at the Grand Ole Opry. His performance was received in such a mediocre manner that the Opry's manager suggested to Sam Phillips that Elvis return to his old job. What was that old job? |

ME: That's right, and you've won the books worth $350! (Applause) Yeah, Elvis was told to go back to truck driving...remarkable.
EDGAR: We're all kinda glad he didn't take that advice, right?
ME: Right. Kevin, you were in the ballpark with car salesman, although I don't think I could imagine him trying to sell a '54 Plymouth to some lady in Mississippi or wherever he was at the time. In any event, James, you have 20 points. Pick your Bonus category.

OK let's go with musical genres

MUSICAL GENRES...all answers will be a genre of music. Blake will show us that it's worth...(She touches the screen...BONG!)  Nice one! 80 points. Put you in second place if you're right. Kevin, if he's wrong, you get a stab at it. James... What word is the last name of performer Buckwheat, or the style of Louisiana music he's been playing since 1971? |

Zydeco?

That's right! Buckwheat Zydeco is his name. James is in second with 100, Kourtney leading with 150, and Kevin trails with 60. Next toss-up.
In the United States, an album or single must sell how many copies in order to "go platinum"?

1,000,000.

Post by jmdarrall on Oct 20, 2015 22:07:18 GMT -5
That's correct! (Applause) Originally, I think it was $1,000,000, but the rising value of albums made that easy to achieve, so it switched to 1,000,000 copies. 70 points for you now, Kevin, and a choice of the Bonus Board categories.

RELATIVELY SPEAKING is about famous singers and their famous relatives. Blake will show us that it's worth...(She touches the screen...BONG!)  20 points. The minimum in Round One, so it should be pretty easy. James, be ready if Kevin misses. Kevin... One of Dolly Parton's godchildren is the daughter of a well-known country singer. In 2010, she performed with her daddy, Dolly, and Kenny Rogers at the Dollywood 25th Anniversary Celebration. Now, though, she's more known for causing trouble at the MTV Video Music Awards. What singer and actress am I talking about? |

Post by jmdarrall on Oct 22, 2015 22:43:17 GMT -5
Yeah! (Applause) Wasn't that hard, now was it? Hard to believe though that Miley is Dolly's goddaughter, though. Got a close game going, with 90 for Kevin, 150 for Kourtney, and 100 for our champ, James. Final toss-up of this round...
Edgar will play a hit song from 1983. When he stops, give the REAL first and last name of the singer. Edgar, play it.
(Edgar plays this)
"Don't ya know? I'm still standing better than I ever did. Lookin' like a true survivor...Feelin' like a little kid. I'm still standing after all this time..."

HEY, BARTENDER - A popular category on the original show. In this category, all answers are alcoholic beverages referenced in songs. You're down by 40, but let's see if this can give you the lead (Blake touches the screen...BONG!).  Not quite. 30 points, but it should be pretty easy. Kevin, be ready if James misses. James... Noted for its "dirty sax," this 1958 instrumental by The Champs saved Pee-Wee Herman from getting his butt kicked when he danced to it in "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure." Name the song. |
