Face the Music

Face the Music was an American television game show that aired in syndication . The show tested contestants' knowledge of popular music songs, and association of song titles with famous people, places and to identify things but not the face it corresponded.

The show was produced by Sandy Frank Productions. Game show fans remember the show for its cheesy production values broken lights on the set, bizarre sound effects, etc. and the sometimes overenthusiastic hosting job by Ely to did not score any points. 

Both these aspects make it a cult favorite today. He contestants are shown six pictures. Most are faces of famous people, although places and even fictional characters could be shown. The Tommy Oliver Orchestra with Donovan sometimes providing vocals played a song. 

The first contestant to ring in and guess both the song title and the famous face it related to earned 10 points. Failure to identify a song disqualified that contestant from the next song. Contestants who identified the song but not the face it corresponded to did not score any points, but were not penalized.
