After more than five decades, we finally have lyrics to go with the “Final Jeopardy” countdown music.
Sting came up with words to accompany the 30-second composition known as “Think!” that has played on every episode of Jeopardy since 1964 while contestants write down their answers.
"Of all the thing in my CV / Everything in life from A to Z,” the 69-year-old sings. “But how I wish my ma could see / Here I am on Jeopardy! / Here I am on Jeopardy!”
Jeopardy! creator Merv Griffin penned what became “Think!” as a lullaby titled “A Time for Tony.” The melody was used in the "Final Jeopardy" round from the game show’s debut but only became the theme music in 1984.
