KARAOKE CHALLENGE (2 points per word)
First up is Kiana. She needs eight to
stay in the game.
- 2006, Toby Keith, "Get Drunk and Be
Somebody"
The good news is that Teri was alive when
this song came out. The even better news is that she IS somebody with a
sweep for 30 points, giving her 35 and the lead.
Big Paul needs three to move into second
and 10 to take the lead.
- 2000, 3 Doors Down, "Kryptonite"
Paul rocked it out for... 10! That's a
tie for the lead with 35!
Kiana needs eight to move on.
- 2005, Keith Anderson, "Pickin'
Wildflowers"
Does 13 do anything for ya? She's up to
46.
Mindi needs to beat 35 to go to the next
round. Eight words will do it.
- 2005, Brad Paisley, "Alcohol"
Break out the bottles, because Mindi ran
the board on that! She's got the third 50 in the series! She and Kiana
move on to..
CHORUS SHOWDOWN
Mindi will have the honor on the first
song, a 1998 ditty from Alabama. Mindi will... PLAY.
- 1998, Alabama, "Song of the South"
Mindi: "Song, song of the south / Sweet
potato pie and I shut my mouth / Gone, gone with the wind /
Ain't nobody looking back again." It's
"There ain't nobody..."
Kiana just got the floodgates handed to
her. She nails this, she wins.
- 1980, George Jones, "He Stopped Loving
Her Today"
Kiana: "He stopped loving her today /
He placed a wreath upon his door..." That's
"They". Mindi's still alive...
Next song is...
- 2006, Taylor Swift, "Teardrops on My
Guitar"
Mindi: "He's the reason for the teardrops
on my guitar / The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star /
He's the song in the car / keeps singing don't
know why I do". You forgot the "I" at the start.
Crucial song coming. Kiana gets this, she
wins. If not, we go to a tiebreaker.
- 1991, Reba MacEntire, "The Night The
Lights Went Out in Georgia"
Kiana: "That's the night the lights went
out in Georgia / That's the night that they hung an innocent man / Don't
trust your soul to no back woods southern lawyer /
The judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hand." TIEBREAKER!
She forgot "'Cos".
The one-song sudden death ... 2005...
Little Big Town. That's Kiana. "I'm gonna pass." Oooh... The song is...
"Boondocks".
BAND: I can hear that / lullaby of the
midnight train / And it sings to me and sounds familiar / I feel no
shame
I'm proud of where I came from / I was born and raised in the boondocks
/ One thing I know no matter where I go...
Mindi: "I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks." WINNER!
So Mindi had a perfect score. Can she
keep it going when it's for money? All she has to do is complete five
songs correctly. Each one is worth $500 cash. Five is worth $10,000.
BUT, miss one and get a strike. Miss three... and the game is over. But
you do get to take home any cash you win, so no excuse not to go for it.
It's time to play... THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!

This one's for the girls / who've ever had a broken heart /
who've wished upon a shooting star...
