“Jeopardy!” Goes Metal: An Ozzy Osbourne Category Shakes Things Up
A recent episode of “Jeopardy!” featured a category dedicated to the musical tastes of heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne, leading to a mix of triumphs, stumbles, and some playful ribbing between contestants.
The “Ozzy Osbourne’s Favorite Songs” category kicked off with a clue about the Animals’ cover of “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.” Contestant Mo buzzed in with Aretha Franklin, but the correct answer was Nina Simone.
Next, a clue referencing a Led Zeppelin song stumped all three contestants. The answer: “Dazed and Confused,” a track Ozzy has praised and which shares its name with a Richard Linklater film.
Contestant Katie scored with the Pink Floyd classic “Money,” correctly identifying it as a song Ozzy associated with his past experiences with LSD. She followed up by correctly answering the $1,500 clue, identifying Mountain’s “Mississippi Queen” as “the cowbell jam to end all cowbell jams.”
The final clue in the category, about an Elton John hit inspired by Judy Garland, sparked the most drama. Lisa incorrectly guessed “Honky Cat,” while Mo offered an incomplete “Yellow Brick Road.” Katie swooped in with the correct response, “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.”
Lisa’s frustration over missing the clue led to a humorous exchange. After she exclaimed “Judy Garland!”
in disappointment, Mo teased, “I know. You should be ashamed.
All of your gay friends just dropped you.”
