Final Jeopardy Answer
The Final Jeopardy Answer is: James Bond
Final Jeopardy Explanation
British composer, musician, and performer Monty Norman created the James Bond Theme, which was first heard in the 1962 film Dr. No.
The James Bond theme, according to Norman, “His sexiness, his mystery, his ruthlessness — it’s all there in a few notes.”
The theme song’s renowned guitar riff was originally performed with an Asian intonation and a sitar, but Norman “split the notes” to make it sound more staccato.
