Ten large and six players wanting to lay
claim to it. Will they do the "Boot Scootin' Boogie" to it or will they
get stung by the Singing Bee?
ROUND 1: Pick Four.
- 2004, Sugarland, "Something More"
BAND: There's gotta be somethin' more / Gotta be more than this / I need
a little less hard time...
Luke: "I need a little kiss." Here's a
little kiss. NO.
Michael: "I need a little more bliss." DING!
- 2004, Joe Nichols, "What's a Guy Gotta
Do?"
BAND: What's a guy gotta do / to get a girl in this town / Don't wanna
be alone / when the sun goes down / Just a sweet little somethin'
Sam: "to wrap my arms around" CLOSE.
Jennifer: "A gotta getta lovin'." No...
Tarita: "To put my arms around." Bingo!
- 1983, ZZ Top, "Legs"
BAND: She's got legs / She knows how to use them / She never begs..

and perhaps obscene.
Luke: "She knows how to choose them." Luke's in!
One more.
- 1980, Eddie Rabbitt, "Drivin' My Life
Away"
BAND: Oooh, I'm drivin' my life away / Lookin' for a better way for me /
Oooh, I'm drivin' my life away...

sing correctly.
- 2003, Gary Allan, "Nothing on But the
Radio" (27 max)
Tarita wins the bid at 20 words...
Tarita: "And
with nothing but the radio..." Wrong.
Next lowest bid was 15 from Michael.
Michael: "With nothin' on but the radio,
music's playin' baby soft..."
Sorry...
Next lowest was Luke... 10 words.
Luke: "Nothing's
on but the ra..." Sorry...

That's enough!

points per line)
First up is Michael & Tarita...
- 2008, Zac Brown Band, "Chicken Fried"
BAND: It's funny how it’s the little
things in life that mean the most / Not where you live, what you
drive...
Michael: "Or where if you live on the coast"
(or the price tag on your clothes)
BAND: There’s no dollar sign on a piece of mind this I’ve come to know /
So if you agree have a drink with me
Tarita: "And some chicken fried chicken"
(Raise you glasses for a toast)
BAND: To a little bit of chicken fried.
Michael: "Cold beer on a Friday night" (CORRECT!)
BAND: A pair of jeans that fit just right
Tarita: "And some chicken fried steak."
(And the radio up)
BAND: I like to see the sunrise
Michael: "And the
light in my woman's eyes" (See the love in my woman’s eyes)
BAND: Feel the touch of a precious child
Tarita: "And that wanting in your eyes"
(And know a mother’s love)
You guys sucked. Michael gets one for
five. Let's see if Luke & Jennifer can do any better.
- 1975, Glen Campbell, "Rhinestone
Cowboy"
BAND: I've been walkin' these streets so
long
Luke: "Singin' a song" (Singin' the same
old song)
BAND: I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Jennifer: "Strummin' my guitar alone"
(Where hustle's the name of the game)
BAND: And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
Luke: "Aaaaaand.... something." (There's
been a load of compromisin')
BAND: On the road to my horizon
Jennifer: "Gotta get on my ride" (But I'm
gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me)
BAND: Like a rhinestone cowboy
Luke: "Ridin' on a horse..." (Riding out on
a horse in a star-spangled rodeo)
BAND: Like a rhinestone cowboy
Jennifer: Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
(CORRECT!)
BAND: And offers comin' over the phone.
And... couldn't do worse could you, Luke!

ROUND 4: Karaoke Challenge (2 points
per word)
First up is Tarita. She needs all the
help she can get.
- 2008, Montgomery Gentry, "One In Every
Crowd".
Tarita gets... three for 6. She's on the
board in second.
Next is Luke. He needs three to tie
Tarita.
- 1983, Madonna, "Borderline"
Luke gets four words for 8, pushing
Tarita over the ledge.
Michael only needs two words to
survive...

Michael... SWEEPS IT! That's 30 points
for 35 total.
Jennifer is already in the final round,
so let's just play for fun here...
- 1968, Tammy Wynette, "Stand By Your
Man"
She gets 14 for 28, 38 total.
ROUND 5: Chorus Showdown
Jennifer gets control of a song from Toby
Keith from 2002. She... passes. So for Michael, it's...
- 2002, Toby Keith, "Who's Your Daddy"
Michael: "Who's your daddy / Who's your baby / Who's your
mother." It was "buddy", not mother.
Jennifer?
- 2003, Dierks Bentley, "What Was I
Thinking?"
Jennifer: "Hey now, here we go." "'Cause I
was thinking about a little white tank top." That's what he was thinking
of.
Michael's back in it...
- 2006, Taylor Swift, "Tim McGraw"
Michael: "When you think Tim McGraw / I hope you think my favorite song
/ The one we danced to all night long / In my old
faded jeans." Close, it was "the moon like a spotlight on the
lake."
Jennifer can win it here...
- 2007, Brad Paisley, "Letter To Me"
Jennifer: "If I could write a letter to me."
Nope... We're going to Sudden Death!
The Sudden Death song is from 2007... and
the artist is Jason Aldean. Michael's in... and he passes.
- 2007, Jason Aldean, "Johnny Cash".
BAND: Throw your suitcase in the back / Done gassed up the Pontiac /
Blastin' out to Johnny Cash / Headin' out the highway...
Jennifer: "Everything is going my way". No,
it was "Baby we ain't ever coming back", and Michael's the Singing Bee
Champion!
Can he seal the deal, though? Seven
songs, each one worth $500. Get five before you get three strikes, and
you're $10,000 richer.
It's time... for the FINAL COUNTDOWN!

right. Take us home, Steve.
