Great American Music Road Trip
I ran a particularly successful audio round during my last session, called the Great American Music Road Trip, and I wanted to share it with my fellow hosts.
10 questions. For each question I played a song by two different musical artists, both of whom are from and/or are strongly associated with a US city.
These are the ones I used:
Dropkick Murphys, Pixies - Boston
Smashing Pumpkins, Muddy Waters - Chicago
Prince, The Replacements - Minneapolis
Jimi Hendrix, Pearl Jam - Seattle
Imagine Dragons, The Killers- Las Vegas
Ice Cube, Red Hot Chili Peppers - Los Angeles
Louis Armstrong, Dr. John - New Orleans
Taylor Swift, King of Leon - Nashville
Pitbull, Gloria Estefan - Miami
Devo, The Pretenders (Chrissie Hynde) - Akron, OH
But! Here is the fun part. I also gave out a blank US map and asked the teams to map each city and then "connect-the-dots" in order, and finish by drawing a a circle around the Great Salt Lake. If they got all the cities in the right place, it makes the shape of a shark/fish. So -- the bonus question answer was the shape of the connect-the-dots ("fish" or "shark").
This round was a big hit (pun intended). I'm always looking for audio rounds that are not just "name that tune", so if you have any fun audio rounds please post them here!
