![]() ![]() The main theme song to the original 1960s version is called "Take 10" and was composed by Griffin's wife, Julann. ![]() Griffin has estimated that the Jeopardy! theme song has earned him somewhere between $70 and $80 million in royalties. A variation of "Think!" was used as a jewelry prize cue, officially called "A Time For Tony," on Wheel of Fortune in the 1980s. For example, the theme is often heard at baseball stadiums when the manager goes to the pitcher's mound to discuss a replacement, or at football games during instant replay reviews, or on the Jerry Springer show, a parodied remix is heard when a choice has to be made. In the United States, it has insinuated itself into everyday communication the song applies to any situation in which someone is waiting for another to answer a question or make a decision. "Think!" (originally composed as "A Time For Tony" by Griffin as a lullaby for his son) has served the Final Jeopardy! countdown music since the show's inception in 1964 (although it was not used in the 1978–79 version), and is also the melody for the current opening theme. Here is a cool commercial featuring a 'twist' to the themesong.
