Once again, Jeopardy contestants are being tested on their pop culture knowledge…and leaving us all shocked and dismayed by the results. After past competitors flubbed prompts about Steven Spielberg, Taylor Swift and Diana Ross, the current crop of contestants faced a new challenge on yesterday’s show: Bob Dylan.

Contestants Jeff Paine, Kendra Westerhaus and Mira Hayward put their music knowledge to the test on the Feb. 13 episode during a category titled Bob Dylan Lyrics. In one moment that’s got Twitter users (and Dylan fans) especially incensed, all three of them failed to guess the correct answer to a prompt in the category.

When Kendra chose Bob Dylan Lyrics for $400, host Ken Jennings read off the clue, “‘Hey,’ this guy, ‘Play a song for me, I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to.'”

Mira immediately buzzed in to guess “Who is ‘Piano Man?'” referring to the Billy Joel song, and Jennings quickly shut her down with a prompt “no.”

Kendra guessed next, saying, “Who is Joe,” but her answer was wrong, too. And Jeff didn’t even try, pursing his lips and shaking his head when prompted by Jennings to answer.

“We had some Jimi Hendrix, Billy Joel confusion. This is, ‘Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,'” Jennings revealed to the contestants. While he swiftly moved on from the moment, Twitter did not. Predictably, Jeopardy fans jumped on the fail and vented on social media, with one writing, “This was absolutely brutal.”

Another added, “Woman on Jeopardy just confused Mr. Tambourine Man with Piano Man in the Bob Dylan category. Straight to jail imo.”

One more unimpressed viewer chimed in, “today’s Jeopardy rage: no one knew, ‘Hey Mr. Tambourine Man’ in the Bob Dylan category. On top of that, 2 people guessed, ‘Joe,’ and, ‘Piano Man.'”

Better luck next time! Watch the moment for yourself in the clip above.
