Matt G. Leger's Profile

Sitting at work today waiting for a digital printing job to be burped out of our gigundo Konica Minolta copier/printer, I found myself thinking of answers for the TV game show Jeopardy!, in the category "National Anthems." (Maybe because wouldyoueva tried out for the show yesterday.) See if you can provide the responses (in the form of questions!) to these:
- $100: Contrary to popular belief, this and not "Waltzing Matilda" is Australia's official anthem.
- $200: In the film Casablanca, Rick Blaine, his customers and even Sam the piano player defiantly sing this anthem to the Nazis.
- $300: The American patriotic hymn "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" takes its melody from this anthem of its mother country.
- $400: This anthem's music was taken from a 1778 English drinking ditty, "The Anacreontic Song."
- $500: This is the only anthem other than the USA's you will hear at National Hockey League games.
Correct questions not guessed will be provided tomorrow. Sorry, two posters already got all five; better luck next time! |
