The game's question
Say the first word out loud, then let the rhythm bring the second one along.
1956: teenagers turned the radio way up, and someone in the house asked them to turn it down. In April, Elvis Presley reached No. 1, and his song ended the year as the top song of 1956. The next year, he did it again with “All Shook Up.” Fill in the title together: “Heartbreak _ _ _ _ _.”
To fill in: one word, five letters.
Need a hint?
Think of a place where travelers spend the night, with a front desk and a room key. Say “Heartbreak …” and let that word follow.
See the answer
Answer: Hotel—“Heartbreak Hotel,” Elvis Presley, the No. 1 song of 1956.
Why this game : A title that finishes itself is a small pleasure—and behind it comes a whole year of music at home.
