Longtime Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak recently explained why the show changed up its music this year. Actually, it went back to its old theme music! For the last few seasons, they had been using a song called “I Defy You.” Now, they went back to the original theme music called “Changing Keys,” with a modern arrangement.
The theme song was used from 1983 until 1989. Pat said, “And music is nice. So remember the old theme? The last several years we had the theme โI Defy You.โ Iโll give you a hundred dollars right now if you can hum last yearโs theme. Nobody knew it. Everybody knew (hums). And itโs back. Isnโt that exciting? And the music throughout the show is very nice.”

While many fans were happy to hear the nostalgic tune once again, others didn’t like it. One fan wrote on social media, โIโm so happy that ‘Changing Keys’ is back! Even though I grew up with ‘Happy Wheels’ by Steve Kaplan throughout the 2000s!โ

Another said, โGlad โChanging Keysโ is back! Great to hear Merv Griffinโs theme songs on both ‘Wheel of Fortune’ and ‘Jeopardy!’ Just as โThink Musicโ is synonymous with ‘Jeopardy,’ โChanging Keysโ is synonymous with ‘Wheel of Fortune!’โ
However, some called it “distracting” and even said that they hated it! What’s your opinion? Let us know!
