This is chronicling the upcoming version of Name That Tune.

Format

This version will be played like the 70s & 80s versions, only this time, the contestants will be playing for cash.

Games

Regularly played sub-games on the show included:

  • Title Track: This is the new title for Tune Topics. All of the song titles fit into a given category and each one has three songs. Two categories are played each time it's played.
  • By Request: Six categories are played and the players can choose from any one of them.
  • Bid-A-Note: The host would read a clue to a song, and the players would alternate bidding as to how few notes they needed to identify the song (as in "I can name that tune in three notes"). The maximum bid is ten notes. Bidding ended when one contestant finally challenged the other to "Name That Tune", or when one player bid one note. After bidding, Randy's hand would show to play the notes, after which the player had to name that tune. If the player was correct, he/she scored the tune, but if the player could not name it, then the opponent will have a chance to steal by hearing all ten notes.

The player with the most money at the end of the game, wins the game, keeps their money, and goes on to play the $100,000 "Golden Medley" bonus round.

Golden Medley

This is played just like the 70s & 80s versions. Again, an incorrect answer ended the game. Passing on a tune by buzzing in and saying "pass" will again move on to the next tune. If time remained on the clock after all tunes were played, the contestant could attempt the passed tune(s) again. Each correct answer is worth $10,000, bit if the winning player can name all seven tunes in 30 seconds, they win the $100,000.
