Episode 2.3
October 16

Last time, #20 Susie Oh became the Bee's first two-time champ, racking up $60,000. Can she do it again with the help of the Village People? Let's get the buzz rolling!

Susie's challengers are... Jon, Natalie, and Eddie.

Round 1:

- 1968, The Foundations, "Build Me Up Buttercup"
Band: "Why do you build me up / Buttercup baby / Just to let me down..."
Natalie: "And jerk me around." No.
Jon: "And hang me around." Nope.
SUSIE: "And mess me around." Got it!

- 1953, Ray Anthony, "The Hokey Pokey"
Band: "You put your right foot in / You put your right foot out / You put your right foot in / And you shake it all about / You do the hokey-pokey / And you turn yourself around..."
Eddie: "That's what it's all about." RIGHT!

One more.

- 1989, Fine Young Cannibals, "Good Thing"
Band: "Good thing / Where have you gone / My good thing..."
Natalie: "Why's it been so long?" Nope.
Jon: "You've been gone too long." That's three!

Meeting our players now... Susie (Pacific Palisades, CA) wants to put all of her trophies on the hood of her car. Eddie (Santa Barbara, CA) is a limo driver. Jon (New York City) got to see Billy Joel live... and sing with the piano man.

Round 2, Playlist.

New game. Players will have six categories to choose from. They relate to an artist, title, or lyrics. Players with the highest scores move on. The categories are...

ALL ABOARD
LITTLE BUDDY
HAIR CLUB
SCREEN TIME
GIRL TALK
CITY BEAT

Susie picks HAIR CLUB. Her songs have to do with hair bands...

- 1984, Twisted Sister, "We're Not Gonna Take It."
Band: "We've got the right to choose it / There ain't no way we'll lose it / This is our life..."
Susie: "This is our time." Nope. "This is our song."

Eddie goes with ALL ABOARD, about traveling bands...

- 1981, Journey, "Don't Stop Believin'."
Band: "Just a small town girl / Living in a lonely world..."
Eddie: "Took a midnight train going anywhere." Close. It was "She took, etc..."

Jon goes with CITY BEAT, songs with cities in their title.

- 1979, Frank Sinatra, "Theme from New York, New York"
Band: "These little town blues / Are melting away / I'll make a brand new start of it / In old New York / If I can make it there..."
Jon: "I'll make it anywhere." That's one for Jon.

Susie gets GIRL TALK... songs about girls.

- 1983, Kool & the Gang, "Joanna"
Band: "Joanna / I love you / You're the one..."
Susie: "The one for me." One for Susie!

Eddie goes with LITTLE BUDDY... songs by Buddy Holly...

- 1958, "Everyday."
Band: "Everyday  it's getting closer / Going faster than a roller coaster / Love like yours will..."
Eddie: "Hard to find..." Nope, it was "Surely come my way", and Jon & Susie go to the Chorus Showdown!

Round 3, Chorus Showdown:

- 1972, Stevie Wonder, "You Are the Sunshine of My Life."
SUSIE: "You are the sunshine of my life, yeah / That's why I'll always stay around / You are the apple of my eye / Forever you'll stay in this heart." So close. It was "Forever, you'll stay in my heart."

Jon, get this and you're champ

- 2003, Fountains of Wayne, "Stacy's Mom"
Jon: "Stacy's mom has got it going on / She's all I want and I've waited so long." Correct was: "... and I've waited for so long."

TIEBREAKER!

"1935, Fred Astaire." Susie's in... and she plays.

-1935, Fred Astaire... "Cheek to Cheek."
Band: Heaven I'm in heaven / And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak / And I seem to find the happiness I seek..."
Susie: "When you and I are dancing cheek to cheek." It was "When we're out together dancing..." And Jon is the new Champion! Susie leaves with $60,000.

But can Jon sing for his supper? We'll see in ... The Final Countdown...

Ray: "It's the Final Countdown!"

Seven songs, seven missing phrases. For each one you get right, you get $5000. Get five and you win $50,000. Miss three... game over.

Oh well, that's the way it goes on the Bee, but Jon returns next time with $5000.
