Music Bingo was a short-lived primetime (and later daytime) musical-themed game show where two contestants competed against each other to guess song titles.
Gameplay[]
Two contestants (the champion representing the sharp, and the challenger representing the flat) faced a bingo board. Four free spaces were given at the start of the game, and the object was to control five spaces in a row (across, up & down or diagonally). The contestants listened to the show's band play songs. They had to stand behind a line in front of the buzzers. The first player to buzz-in and name the right song got to choose which square on the board to place his/her symbol on. Also in the game was "The Magic Melody" song, and any player who named that song could choose to mark one of the remains squares with their own symbol, or steal a square from his/her opponent. The first player to get bingo won $500 and the right to continue as champion. The loser took home $50 for each mark on the board he/she placed before losing.
