The game's question
Listen to each clue, let the music come back, then decide together.
In 1976, “Rocky” was the top-grossing movie of the year. Picture the theater at the very end, people clapping right there in their seats. Then the movie’s theme, by Bill Conti, started playing on the radio. Here is what people say: on July 2, 1977, the theme from “Rocky” reached No. 1. Decide together: is that true?
- True
- Not true
- It stopped at No. 2
Need a hint?
Try humming the theme together, the part that makes you want to stand up and cheer. Then think: did it play on the car radio that summer?
See the answer
Answer: True—the theme from “Rocky,” by Bill Conti, was No. 1 on July 2, 1977.
Why this game : A theme everyone hummed that summer gets the two of you talking: the movie, the radio, and who turned the volume up.
