Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Songs & U.S. History) for Friday, October 29, 2021 (Season 38, Game 35):
Victory in 1805’s Battle of Derna on the coast of North Africa inspired a lyric in this song made official in 1929
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Wren Romero, a Ph.D candidate from Evanston, Illinois
Emily Robinson, a political strategist from Brooklyn, New York
Tyler Rhode, a healthcare data specialist from New York, New York (2-day total: $35,301)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Tyler Rhode picked up his second win in yesterday’s game. One thing that Jeopardy! fans may have noticed, depending on where in the country you live: A lot of local affiliates that air Jeopardy! are owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group. About two weeks ago, Sinclair was hit with a ransomware attack that has hampered these affiliates’ ability to run some of the stations. This has made it more likely for these stations to have technical difficulties, especially when it comes to non-network programming (such as the syndicated Jeopardy!). This explains why a number of viewers have had interruptions in their daily Jeopardy! watching experience over the past two weeks.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to. When wearing a mask, ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: What is the Marines’ Hymn?
More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2021 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
The Marines’ Hymn has been the official hymn of the United States Marine Corps since 1929. The opening lines of the Marines’ Hymn are “From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli”, referencing the Battle of Chapultepec in the Mexican-American War and the Battle of Derna in the First Barbary War. The lyrics are set to music by Jacques Offenbach.
Canadian viewers will likely struggle with this one (I know that I certainly did!)
