Episode 4
July 11
You don't have to be a "Redneck Woman" to play
for $10,000, you just have to know the words to some of the music that rocks
your world (only 40% of the time, though). It's a little thing we do called "The
Singing Bee".
ROUND 1: Pick Four.
- 2004, Big & Rich, "Save A Horse (Ride A
Cowboy)"
BAND: Well, I walk into the room / Passing out hundred dollar bills /
And it kills and it thrills
Lana: "And
you save a horse..." NOPE.
Heath: "Like the horns on my Silverado grill." YEP!
- 1982, Dexy's Midnight Runners, "Come On
Eileen"
BAND: Come on Eileen / Oh I swear what he means / At this moment...
JG: "Everything you
mean to..." Good try.
Juliet: "You mean everything." Right on!
- 2008, Montgomery Gentry, "Back When I
Knew It All"
BAND: Back when the world was flat / and mama and daddy didn't have a
clue / that was back / back when a pitcher of beer...
Susan: "Back when I
didn't..." No, you didn't.
Lori: "... an' a couple of shots made me bulletproof." GOT IT!
One more.
- 1992, Billy Ray Cyrus, "Achy Breaky
Heart"
BAND: Don't tell my heart / My achy breaky heart / I just don't think
he'd understand / And if you tell my heart / My achy breaky heart...
Lana: "He
just might up and kill this man." Close.
JG: "He might blow up and kill this man." We have four!
Now that we have four, let's stop talking
about it and start "bee-ing" about it. First, let's meet the players.

The song is from Taylor Swift in 2008.

No, it's "I've been to church, I've read the book..."
Juliet gets another chance with...

was "Carry on my wayward son." Heath, again, can seal the deal here...
- 1977, Eddie Money, "Two Tickets to
Paradise"
Heath: "I've got two tickets to
paradise.... *honk*" Well, you got ONE line. This is going to a Sudden
Death Tiebreaker... The tiebreaker is 1970... Lynn Anderson. That's
Heath. "Pass." Juliet, it's all you.
- 1970, Lynn Anderson, "(I Never Promised
You A) Rose Garden"
BAND: So smile for a while and let's be jolly / Love shouldn't be so
melancholy / Come along and share the good times
Juliet: "That we
had." No, it's "while we can", and Heath is playing for the
money!
