HS Round 4 Question 5

Ryan: John, pick a square. 

John: Back to Mark for the win, please. 

 

 

Mark: Ryan, why do I get the impression that I've been through this before? 

(audience laughs)

Ryan: Mark, Most of Emily Dickinson's poetic works can be sung to the tune of 
what song? 

Mark: Definitely not anything from EMinem. Get it? EMinem? 

(audience boos)

Mark: OH HUSH! Let's see.  Emily Dickinson's poetic works can be sung to what 
SONG?!? 

Ryan: That's the question. 

Mark: The...Star Spangled Banner. 

John: Seems a bit too farfetched for me...I'll disagree. 

Ryan: It's "The Yellow Rose of Texas". Circle gets the Square and the Win! 

 

 

(dings; audience applause; MG-HSH win music plays)

"The Yellow Rose of Texas", please welcome the Net Match Game - Hollywood 
Squares Hour Lone Star State Chorus. 

NMG-HSH LSSC: (assemble before microphones; sing a cappella) 

Because I could not stop for Death - 
He kindly stopped for me - 
The Carriage held but just Ourselves - 
And Immortality. 

We slowly drove - He knew no haste 
And I had put away 
My labor and my leisure too, 
For His Civility -
