Merv Memorabilia with Tony Griffin- Jeopardy Theme Organ

Tony shows us the the old pump organ upon which his multi-talented father Merv wrote the Final Jeopardy theme in a minute and a half back in 1964.

Never knew this song had a name...I always knew it as the Jeopardy! theme :P RIP Alex Trebek.

It’s Tony! As in “A Time for Tony!” 😱🙌🏾

fun fact: that was used during Early WOF back when they had a showroom of prizes up for grabs in the Bonus Round; and It was a Lullaby; AND It turned into the Final Jeopardy Round's Think Music!!

[@artkurtz9238]

@@New3DSLuigi364 Actually, "Jeopardy!" and the think music predated "Wheel of Fortune" by 11 years. Jeopardy had that piece as the think music from 1964-1975. You are correct. It was then reworked as prize music on Wheel of Fortune, which premiered in 1975. In 1984, when Jeopardy returned...it became the main theme and the think theme.

Yeah I’m addicted to the Think music right now it seems. Lol! So many chords and transitions that make it sound different with every press on the keyboard.

Wow!🇺🇸

It almost mimics "I'm a little teapot"

[@chriswinkler284]

This should have more likes because it kinda does. All you have to do is sing the 'Teapot Song' to the tune of Jeopardy! That's funny AND interesting =D

Ah! I understand! he was waiting while your mom got dressed before going to the restaurant! Now that's appropriate inspiration!

[@DoctorShocktor]

Wow, how was Tony conceived? Splash damage on a nearby spectator?

[@qetikopaleishvili3442]

Hi,Tony. It's nice you are showing the instrument,but I 'd rather listen to the melody your Father wrote in a minute and 30 thirty seconds.Is it possible?Thank you in advance...

[@bigdaddymarketing6449]

Wow you look like your dad

[@RADIUMGLASS]

Tony obviously didn't inherit Merv's talent.
