69: The Sound of Music

The hills are alive with SO MANY FREAKING FACTS ABOUT MUSIC: the oldest instrument of the history of mankind, notable moments in recording history, the first talking doll recordings (creepy!), music scandals on TV quiz, the actual lowdown on hidden secret messages and the whole backward-song craze that swept the nation. Where exactly "is the place in France where the naked ladies dance"?, and just why singing the Happy Birthday song might get you in legal trouble. 

ALSO: Fictional workplace quiz, Chicago World's Fair

RUNTIME: 55 minutes 50 seconds
