Good luck.
Alright players, time's up.
Again, today’s Final Jeopardy category is:
POPULAR MUSIC
The Final Jeopardy answer was:
THIS POPULAR SONG AND ARTIST HAVE LASTED THE MOST CONSECUTIVE WEEKS IN THE TOP 10, BREAKING THE OLD RECORD OF 3O WEEKS SET IN 1943 BY THE MILLS BROTHERS AND "PAPER DOLL."
The correct question is:
What is...................
Are you ready for this?
"How Do I Live" by LeAnn Rimes.
It spent 32 weeks, God only knows how, in the top 10 in 1998.
I really like LeAnn Rimes. Yes, I do. The problem with LeAnn Rimes is that she went from 13 years old to being 24.
There is no justice at times in pop music trivia. Call me an old fogey, but I'll take the Mills Brothers and their 1943 classic over Rimes' Mariah Carey-like, I want to sound like a black woman warbling any day.
Encore, gentlemen!
This one's for you, Dad.
I know how much you loved it.
