"come on, play that song,
____ ___ ___ __ _____"
With so many games over
the years like pulling white sticks to win monthly paychecks, guessing
correct answers to pick dancers for cash, or figuring out where the
right range of people are to a survey question, "Don't Forget The
Lyrics" is the one game people love to "play it all night long." Last
time, Jamie Babbitt rocked to $100,000, while Susan Woods has $25,000
worth of ketchup. We're catching on as the show is about to begin.
From the westside, Shamari
Berkley is 11 years old and wants to be an entertainer. But for our
special youngsters edition, any money, win or lose will to go him.
Let's look at our 9 categories:
ROCK DISCO
POP IN THE MOVIES
HAPPY HOLIDAYS SPORTS ANTHEMS
MICHAEL JACKSON PARTY SONGS
1980'S
For $2500, he eliminated
"Happy Holidays" as his first choice, and his next choice
is.....Michael Jackson, and these 2 songs by the King of Pop....
He gets ABC. Sinple as
that. Let's go!
Michael: A buh-buh buh
buh-buh
J5: A buh-buh buh buh-buh
Michael: You went to school to learn, girl
Things you never, never knew before...
Jermaine: Like I before E except after C...
Michael: And why 2 plus 2 makes four
Now now now, I'm gonna teach you...
J5: Teach you, teach you
Michael: All about love, dear...
J5: All about love
Jermaine: Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me.
J5: ABC
Michael: Easy as...AS WHAT?
Shamari's answer: one two
three. Going for the pinfall.....YES! His next one: In the Movies.
Catch a flick with these:
-
Spider-Man-The Ramones

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah
He gets the Disney one.
Let's zip it!
Zip a dee doo-dah, zip a
dee ay
My, oh my, what...WHAT?....WHAT!!!????
Shamari's answer: A
wonderful day. He locks it in....WONDERFUL! Correct. Next one: Disco,
and these 2....
He gets Celebration. We're
off!
Yahoo! This is your
celebration
Yahoo! This is your celebration
Celebrate good times, come on! (Let's celebrate)
Celebrate good times, come on! (Let's celebrate)
There's a party goin' on right here
A celebration to last throughout the years
So bring your good times, and your laughter too
We gonna celebrate your party with you
Come on now
Celebration
Let's all celebrate and have...HAVE WHAT?
Shamari's answer: a good
time. He locks it in, it's up and it's GOOD! $25,000! His next move:
Party songs, and they are:
-
Hokey Pokey-Ray Anthony
-
Sugar, Sugar-The Archies
He gets the Hokey Pokey.
Let's dance!
Put your left foot in,
Your left foot out,
Your left foot in,
And shake it all about.
You do the hokey pokey...STOP!
Shamari's answer: And you
turn yourself around. He locks it in...and everyone dances at the
do-over, and it's...RIGHT! His next one: Rock. Try these:
He gets "You Are So
Beautiful." So, let's go!
You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful...ok, FREEZE!
Shamari's answer: You are
so beautiful to....That's actually the first line, but he gets the 3
lines. And they are:
A. To me don't you know
B. To me Can't you see
C. To me Yes it's true
And it's true he locks it
in with B, and that's....CORRECT! What's next for this kid? Pop, and
these 2 songs...
He gets "I Want it that
Way." Here we go.
Yeah
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way
But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way
Tell me why...FREEZE IT!
And he blanks out. It's
hard for people under 18 to know it, but he calls out Can'Dise
with..."Ain't nothin' but a heartache." Locking it in.....SCORE! His
next one: Sports Anthems. All right, something I'm familiar with. What
do we got today?
He gets Take me out to the
Ball game. Play ball!
Take me out to the ball
game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team, STOP IT!
Shamari's answer: If they
don't win it's a shame. But win or lose, he's going home with money.
He locks it in....HOMERUN! It's down to the 1980's and these 2:
He gets Greatest Love of
all. Just one more before we head to the million dollar song. Let's
go!
I believe the children are
our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed..STOP! What's the answer:
Shamari's answer: I'm not
gonna let anyone doubt me. But he uses his 2 words backup for help.
"live" and "Believe" are 2, but he's not sure, so he bails out at
$350,000. What's the real answer? It is: At least I'll live as I
believe.
To quote a Cupid song, "It
don't matter if you're young or you're old," you got to go by this
message: it's not what you know about it, it's what you sing about it.
