(ENERGETIC MUSIC) ANNOUNCER: Tonight,
it's this season's youngest contestant.
NIECY NASH: You look like a baby.
ANNOUNCER: Shayne has got the look of a rockstar
and a massive following on TikTok.
NIECY NASH: I know these older women
are hitting on you on your page.
ANNOUNCER: While he may have a lock on today's music...
SHAYNE DAVIES: Lock in those lyrics.
ANNOUNCER: To take down the older songs,
he's relying on a secret weapon.
NIECY NASH: How do you know these old songs?
ANNOUNCER: What is it?
NIECY NASH: Did you hear the whole crowd go, "Whoa!"?
ANNOUNCER: And will it make him a million dollars?
SHAYNE DAVIES: I'm more than ready.
ANNOUNCER: Find out right now.
(LIVELY MUSIC) Please welcome the woman
who's known Queen Latifah
since she was Princess Latifah: Niecy Nash!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING) (LIVELY MUSIC CONTINUES)
(LIVELY MUSIC CONCLUDES)
NIECY NASH: Welcome to "Don't Forget The Lyrics!".
We have yet to give away a million dollars.
The show is called "Don't Forget The Lyrics!",
and up until now, everybody has forgotten the lyrics.
I mean, it's literally the first thing
we tell them not to do.
If I told my kids, "Don't forget to clean your room,"
and offered them a million dollars,
you'd be able to eat off the floor.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
Before we get started, please show some love
to Ricci and the band.
(BRIEF FANFARE MUSIC)
To win big on this show, you need to know
all types of music.
So this rockstar should have this game on lock
'cause he's the manager of an old school record store.
From Hackettstown, New Jersey, it's Shayne Davies!
(EXCITING MUSIC) (AUDIENCE CHEERING)
SHAYNE DAVIES: Whoo!
NIECY NASH: Hey! (EXCITING MUSIC CONCLUDES)
SHAYNE DAVIES: Niecy, how are you?
NIECY NASH: You look like a baby. How old are you?
SHAYNE DAVIES: Niecy, I'm 23 years old.
NIECY NASH: OK.
SHAYNE DAVIES: At least physically.
Mentally, it's probably 78.
(ALL LAUGHING)
NIECY NASH: OK, and working at
an old school record store.
Talk to me about it. SHAYNE DAVIES: Absolutely.
It's the dream job for me. I love music so much.
I get to play with vinyl, I get to play cassettes,
8-tracks, all the old media.
It's certainly more for me.
I'm definitely more of a technophobe
with the new streaming services and stuff like that.
About a year ago, my boss brought me into his office
and he said, "We need to get in touch
with the younger record store fans."
So he said, "You got to make yourself like a TikTok
or a social media or something like that."
A little relenting, but I went ahead and did it.
It's closing in on 100,000 followers now.
So, yeah. Thank you! (AUDIENCE CHEERING)
It's going well. NIECY NASH: I love that.
SHAYNE DAVIES: I've found that dancing around
to music that I like in a record store that's empty,
people tend to relate to that.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)
NIECY NASH: Listen, Shayne, if you give me
the correct missing lyrics to 10 songs,
I am going to give you $1 million!
SHAYNE DAVIES: That sounds good to me.
That sounds good to me, Niecy! I'm good with that.
NIECY NASH: Let's take a look at your categories tonight.
Cover Songs, 2000s, R&B,
Pop, Alternative, Grammy-Winning Artists,
Steve Miller Band, Teen Idols, and TV Themes.
Now, the first song is worth $2,500
and the money keeps growing,
right up to the Million Dollar Song.
SHAYNE DAVIES: That's where we're going to be.
That is where we're going to be.
NIECY NASH: And if you make it to $25,000,
that money is guaranteed.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Love that. Love that.
NIECY NASH: So, Shayne, which category would you like
to play for first?
(AUDIENCE CHATTERING)
SHAYNE DAVIES: I was born in the year 2000,
so I'm feeling like that might be a solid pick.
But I'm an old soul, I want to start off strong;
give me Steve Miller Band.
(AUDIENCE GASPS) NIECY NASH: Wow.
Let me tell you something. Did you hear that?
Did you hear the whole crowd go "Whoa!"?
Let me tell you something.
You are the reason people cannot judge a book.
SHAYNE DAVIES: I have a lot of Steve Miller on vinyl.
NIECY NASH: That's your jam.
SHAYNE DAVIES: I should be ready to do this, yeah.
NIECY NASH: Well, let's take a look
at your two song choices:
"Fly Like An Eagle" or "The Joker".
SHAYNE DAVIES: Two songs that I absolutely love.
"Fly Like An Eagle" is one that I feel like
there's a little bit more space for me
to not know something.
"The Joker", an absolute classic.
Let's do it. Let's do "The Joker".
Steve Miller Band. Let's do it.
I'm a joker. NIECY NASH: All right,
for this song, Shayne, I am looking for four missing words.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Four missing words.
NIECY NASH: And we'll start it from the tippy top.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Start from the tippy top.
Let's do it. NIECY NASH: You ready?
SHAYNE DAVIES: Niecy, I'm ready. I'm more than ready.
NIECY NASH: He's more than ready, Ricci.
SHAYNE DAVIES: I'm more than ready.

Let's take a look, Shayne.
You put some moves on it.
Steve Miller said, "And I'm a sinner, I play my."
You said, "Music in the sun."
How confident are you in this answer?
SHAYNE DAVIES: I'm feeling very confident
about that answer.
I love that. I'm locking in those lyrics.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) (INTENSE DRUM MUSIC)
NIECY NASH: All right, you locked in those lyrics.
If this is correct, the entire line will turn green.
If any word is wrong, it will turn red, Shayne,
and the game is over.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Don't want that.
NIECY NASH: We don't want that.
SHAYNE DAVIES: We don't want that.
NIECY NASH: For $2,500,
is it "music in the sun"?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

You just won $2,500.
You are well on your way to the Million Dollar Song.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Starting off strong. That's what I love.

This next song is worth $5,000.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING) SHAYNE DAVIES: All right. All right.
RAEGAN DAVIES: Whoo! NIECY NASH: All right,
my old soul,
which category do you want to play for next?
SHAYNE DAVIES: Like I said, 2000s is,
I feel like I can do well on that,
so I don't want to quite go for that yet
because I'm thinking the next category
that I really would know well is TV Themes.
That kind of stuff just gets stuck in my head very easily,
so I feel like the lyrics would be pretty easy to remember;
so I'm going to go with TV Themes for my next category.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) NIECY NASH: All right.
Let's take a look, Shayne, at your two song choices:
"Big Bang Theory Theme" from "The Big Bang Theory",
or "I Don't Want To Wait" from "Dawson's Creek".
SHAYNE DAVIES: All right, "Dawson's Creek",
I have seen it, not as much, I'll be honest.
"Big Bang Theory Theme", I've got that on lock.
Let's do it, "Big Bang Theory".
NIECY NASH: You are so confident and I love that.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Feeling good. I'm feeling good.
NIECY NASH: And here's the thing,
and don't you all judge me for this
because this is the time in life
where sometimes you have to do this.
I know these older women are hitting on you on your page,
but I got a baby your age and she cute as a button.
If you want to know what she look like,
she look just like me.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
All right, just saying, had to throw that out there.
You know, we got to matchmake sometimes.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Good to keep in mind.
NIECY NASH: So for the "Big Bang Theory Theme",
I am going to need five missing words.
SHAYNE DAVIES: OK.
NIECY NASH: And we'll start it from the top.
SHAYNE DAVIES: All right.
NIECY NASH: Let's do it, Ricci.

The "Big Bang Theory" lyrics said,
"Unraveling the mystery, that all."
You said, "Started with the big bang."
How are you feeling about that answer?
SHAYNE DAVIES: I'm feeling 80% confident.
I know "started with" and "big bang" to finish it.
I'm positive about that.
I'm a little hesitant about that "the".
I want to change "the"
to "a".
(TENSE MUSIC)
I'm not 100% confident about it.

I'm going to stick with the "started with the big bang".

But first, we want to get you closer to that $25,000,
which is guaranteed.
This time, we are playing for $10,000.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING) SHAYNE DAVIES: Whoo!
NIECY NASH: All right, Shayne.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Love that.
NIECY NASH: What is going to get you the money?
Is it Cover Songs, 2000s, R&B, Pop, Alternative,
Grammy-Winning Artists, or Teen Idols?
SHAYNE DAVIES: You know, let's do 2000s.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) NIECY NASH: All right.
Let's take a look at your two song choices:
"Where is the Love" by The Black Eyed Peas
with Justin Timberlake,
or "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Whew, this is a tricky one.
I remember dancing a lot to Black Eyed Peas songs.
The one thing I will say,
3 Doors Down, the CD that has "Kryptonite" on it,
was one that was in my mother's
CD big black flip-over book.
And my sister and I would very often be picking them out,
"Oh, I like the look of this one,"
you know, five, six years old at this point.
That was always one that we picked.
This is a favorite for both of us.
"Kryptonite", 3 Doors Down. Let's do it.
Let's do it. Let's do it. (AUDIENCE CHEERING)
NIECY NASH: I am looking for four missing words, OK?

3 Doors Down said, "I'll keep you by my side."
You said, "With my superhuman might."
How confident are you in this answer?
SHAYNE DAVIES: Might has to rhyme with kryptonite.
My superhuman might, I'm feeling...
My superhuman.
You know what? Lock in those lyrics.
Let's do it. (AUDIENCE CHEERING)
NIECY NASH: You locked in those lyrics, Shayne.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(JOYFUL MUSIC) (ALL CHEERING)

to the Million Dollar Song.
But first, we're going to turn it into
$25,000 guaranteed. SHAYNE DAVIES: Whoo!
Let's do it.
NIECY NASH: Shayne is going to try to stay in the game
when we come back on "Don't Forget The Lyrics!"
(AUDIENCE CHEERING) (LIVELY MUSIC)
Before the break, Shayne sang "Kryptonite"
and came through like Superman banking $10,000.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
He still has his backup singer,
and five words if he needs help.
Now, we want to get him to a million,
but the game is about to get harder.
(INTENSE MUSIC) (AUDIENCE GASPS)
There are six categories left.
This next song is worth $25,000 guaranteed.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Whoo!
NIECY NASH: You just got to get it right.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Got to get it right.
NIECY NASH: All right, what would you do with $25,000?
SHAYNE DAVIES: That's good money for 23.
I have a big dream.
I want to buy a Volkswagen van, like a caravan,
and I'm at the point now...
NIECY NASH: Of course you do.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Of course, right.
Most people would figure that, all right.
I've been at home, I've been in Hackettstown, New Jersey
living with my parents for my entire life.
I absolutely love them. I love my parents.
But I think we're all at the point where it's like,
"OK, time to get out the house, time to go."
25,000 would definitely help with that. Trick out the van.
Grab my dog, Jethro. Get him in the van.
Go west and let's see the mountains.
NIECY NASH: How cute is that?
All right, what is going to get you
and your dog Jethro out west?
Is it Cover Songs, R&B, Pop,
Alternative, Grammy-Winning Artists, or Teen Idols?
AUDIENCE: Teen Idols.
SHAYNE DAVIES: It's a good question.
I'm hearing a lot of Teen Idols.
I will be honest, I don't necessarily know
that's going to be 100% my wheelhouse.
But you know what?
I like to listen to original versions of cover songs,
so I have a feeling that I'll be able
to know what the song is.
Let's go with Cover Songs for the 25. Let's do it.
NIECY NASH: All right, Shayne.
Let's take a look at your two song choices:
The "Theme From New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra,
or "You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Oof, this is a tougher one.
I mean, I'm familiar with both names,
very familiar with both names.
I love James Taylor;
he's a phenomenal singer and songwriter.
But "Theme from New York, New York", Frank Sinatra.
I mean, that song is an absolute classic.
I'd like to think I can give it a go.
Let's do Frank Sinatra, "Theme from New York, New York".
Let's do it.
NIECY NASH: All right, Shayne,
for $25,000 guaranteed,
I need eight missing words.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Whew, oh, OK.
NIECY NASH: The song is going to start from the top.
Let's do it, Ricci.

I want to put in king of the hill

"In a city that doesn't sleep, and find I'm."
You said, "King of the hill," and then nothing, nothing,
nothing, nothing. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
SHAYNE DAVIES: Not solid.
Not as well as I was hoping it would be, I'll be honest.
NIECY NASH: Well, do you have any other ideas
what might follow that?
SHAYNE DAVIES: The problem, I can think of it
exactly in my head.
My grandpa's from Jersey City.
He's going to be watching this
and he's going to be very upset with me
because he loves Frank Sinatra
and he grew up right in that area.
So, (HUMS), I can think of exactly the melody in my head.
But I believe that Frank Sinatra and that song specifically
is a song that my sister Raegan knows.
I believe she knows those last four lyrics.
I'm doing the backup. Let's call out Raegan.
Let's get her out here.
NIECY NASH: Come on, sister. Come on up.
Hello, pretty girl!
RAEGAN DAVIES: Hi, Niecy. Hi!
NIECY NASH: Raegan, talk to me.
How are you feeling about what you see up here right now?
RAEGAN DAVIES: I'm glad that Shayne said it
because if he didn't, I was going to tell him later
that our papa is going to be very disappointed
that he didn't know this line.
NIECY NASH: Do you know the line?
RAEGAN DAVIES: I think I do.
I believe that the last four words are "top of the heap".

because we do have five backup words still.
RAEGAN DAVIES: Well, my thinking is that
if it's "top" or if it's "heap",
then we'll know the line is right.
SHAYNE DAVIES: I agree. I agree.
RAEGAN DAVIES: So we can maybe use it on one of those.

and this time we are playing for $50,000!
SHAYNE DAVIES: Whoo-hoo!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING) Let's do it. Let's do it.
NIECY NASH: What category is going to get you that money?
Is it R&B, Pop, Alternative,
Grammy-Winning Artists, or Teen Idols?
SHAYNE DAVIES: There's two in my head that I think
are definitely going to get me the money.
NIECY NASH: Talk to me.
SHAYNE DAVIES: And I think right now it's either
between Pop or it's between R&B.
NIECY NASH: OK.
SHAYNE DAVIES: The only thing I think I'm going to say is
pop music, that's something that I'm going to be hearing
in the record store more often
than I feel like R&B.
Pop songs, I think I'm going to have a better idea of.
For the 50,000, I'm going to have to go with Pop.
NIECY NASH: OK. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
Let's take a look at your two pop songs:
"Love Will Keep Us Together" by Captain & Tennille
or "Rich Girl" by Gwen Stefani featuring Eve.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Well, if it isn't too obvious
about my old soul, I think we all know
which way I'm going to be swinging on this one.
I'm a big fan of Captain & Tennille. Let's go with it.
"Love Will Keep Us Together."

to the Million Dollar Song.
This next song is worth $75,000.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)
What category is going to get you some more money, honey?
SHAYNE DAVIES: My dad is from Wales but he's
a huge fan of American music, and he loves alternative.
I can very distinctly remember
car rides to soccer practices
and alternative was on the station.
I have a feeling I'm going to know
a decent amount of songs here.
So for my dad, I'm going to go with Alternative
for the next one.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING) NIECY NASH: All right.
Let's take a look at your two song choices:
"Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons
or "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World.
SHAYNE DAVIES: This is a tough one. This is a tough one.
I love both of these songs.

in the car with your dad?

with my dad. (ALL LAUGHING)

"Radioactive" or "The Middle"?

"Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons,
so I'm going to go with that one.

All right? SHAYNE DAVIES: Let's do it.
NIECY NASH: And we will start the song
from the first verse.
SHAYNE DAVIES: OK.
NIECY NASH: Let's do it, Ricci.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Let's do it.

NIECY NASH: All right. SHAYNE DAVIES: I feel good.
I'm feeling good.
NIECY NASH: Let's take a look.
Imagine Dragons said,
"I feel it in my bones, enough to make."
You said "My system blow, welcome to the new age."
How confident are you in this answer?
SHAYNE DAVIES: There's one word, it's that third word.
"My system blow". I feel like it could be something else.
NIECY NASH: Sing that top line into that line
and see how it feels.
♪ I feel it in my bones
♪ Enough to make my systems blow ♪
♪ Welcome to the new age
SHAYNE DAVIES: I like the way that sounds.
"Feel it in my bones, enough to make my system blow,
welcome to the new age".
NIECY NASH: Now, you still have four words left
if you need help.
SHAYNE DAVIES: You know, I'll be honest.
I'm at a point now where I'm getting to higher thresholds.
I do feel very confident about it,
but I think I want to use one of my backup words
on number three.
NIECY NASH: Please reveal the correct word
for line number three.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) SHAYNE DAVIES: OK.
RAEGAN DAVIES: Nice. NIECY NASH: Feeling more confident?
SHAYNE DAVIES: I'm feeling a lot more confident.
"My system blow, welcome to the new age".
Lock in those lyrics.
Let's do it. Let's do it. (AUDIENCE CHEERING)
NIECY NASH: All right, Shayne.
You locked in those lyrics.
For $75,000,
is it "my system blow, welcome to the new age"?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(JOYFUL MUSIC) (ALL CHEERING)
That is $75,000!
Now, we are getting to the big money!
SHAYNE DAVIES: Whoo!
NIECY NASH: Shayne, what is going on
in your head right now?
SHAYNE DAVIES: I have no idea.
There's so much going on in my head right now;
I'm overwhelmed.
Honestly, 75,000 is not a number
that I have really ever thought of ever owning.
Again, I have to thank my dad
because he's a big Imagine Dragons fan.
NIECY NASH: Well, I'm glad that you got it right
and I'm sure your daddy is as proud of you as we all are.
Up next, it's $100,000,
and we'll be right back on "Don't Forget The Lyrics!".
(AUDIENCE CHEERING) (LIVELY MUSIC)
Welcome back.
This kid right here is showing us
how the game is supposed to be played.
Shayne has already banked $75,000,
and he's about to play for $100,000.
There are three categories to the Million Dollar Song.
Shayne, this money is life-changing.
How would $100,000 change your life?
SHAYNE DAVIES: It would change it massively.
It's like I mentioned, my dad is from Wales
and I had a very close relationship with his father
who unfortunately is no longer with us.
But I've the most pleasant memories of all time,
going to Wales, visiting the country
and visiting my dad's side of the family.
$100,000 is a lovely long trip to Wales.
Spread my wings, get out of the house finally,
which I think everybody will be rooting for,
myself and my parents included.
NIECY NASH: All right. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
Which one of these categories is going to get you
on that long trip to Wales?
Is it R&B, Grammy-Winning Artists, or Teen Idols?
(AUDIENCE WILDLY SHOUTING) (SHAYNE LAUGHING)
SHAYNE DAVIES: I'm getting a lot of different opinions.
Teen Idols, I'm not positive I'm going to be great with that,
R&B is definitely more of my genre,
and Grammy-winning artists I see more often
at the record store.
I'm feeling pretty confident about it.
Grammy-Winning Artists. Let's do it for the hundred.
Let's do it. NIECY NASH: OK.
Let's take a look at your two song choices:
"My Life" by Billy Joel
or "The Edge of Glory" by Lady Gaga.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Both absolutely phenomenal songwriters.
And Lady Gaga is the best,
just such a phenomenal voice and such a great talent.
I'm an old soul.
Billy Joel, "My Life". That's what it's going to be.
Let's do it. NIECY NASH: All right.
For $100,000, I am looking
for seven missing words, OK?
And we're going to start the song right from the top.
SHAYNE DAVIES: Let's do it.
NIECY NASH: Ricci, let's do it.

NIECY NASH: Billy Joel said, "This is my life, go ahead."
You said, "With your own life, leave me alone."
SHAYNE DAVIES: 100%. (LAUGHS)
NIECY NASH: Are you confident in this answer?
SHAYNE DAVIES: I love Billy Joel.
This is one of my all-time favorite Billy Joel songs.
This is my life.
Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone.
Lock in those lyrics.
Let's do it. (AUDIENCE CHEERING)

Shayne!
You just banked $100,000!
How does that feel?
SHAYNE DAVIES: It feels amazing!
NIECY NASH: The pressure is on.
Shayne sings for 150,000 next
on "Don't Forget The Lyrics!".
(AUDIENCE CHEERING) (LIVELY MUSIC)
Welcome back to "Don't Forget The Lyrics!".
It's one thing to say you're an old soul,
and it's another thing to prove it;
and Shayne has been proving this night
that his soul belongs in a retirement home.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
He has banked $100,000.
He still has three backup words if he needs help.
Right now, we are playing for $150,000,
but the game is about to get harder.
(INTENSE MUSIC) (AUDIENCE GASPS)
Shayne, you are getting so close to that million dollars.
What's going through your head right now?
SHAYNE DAVIES: I'm feeling extremely,
extremely happy right now.
I wouldn't be where I am without Raegan,
so I have to thank her for that.
Because that Frank Sinatra song,
as much as my papa will be disappointed,
I needed her to help me out with that one.
So I feel good.
NIECY NASH: Raegan, how are you feeling
about how Shayne's doing?
RAEGAN DAVIES: I had no doubts, Niecy.
I'm just happy that all of his musical pretentiousness
has paid off in some way.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING) NIECY NASH: There we go.
You know your sister not lying though.
You stop it. Everybody saw it.
Let's see if we can get you to the next level.
This next song is worth $150,000.
You only have two categories left:
that is R&B and Teen Idols.
Which one is going to get you the money?
SHAYNE DAVIES: All right, that Teen Idols category,
it's striking a little bit of fear in me.
I'm going to be honest with you.
R&B, I own myself a lot of R&B vinyl,
so I feel I've gotten this far
because the music that I've heard is stuff
that I either own on vinyl
or I've listened to at the record store.
And I can remember some of the earliest albums
when I was really trying to get into newer music.
R&B, I'm feeling slightly more confident on R&B
than I am about Teen Idols.
Let's go with R&B. Let's do it.
NIECY NASH: All right, let's take a look
at your two song choices:
"I Try" by Macy Grey
or "Ain't No Woman Like The One I've Got" by The Four Tops.
SHAYNE DAVIES: This is an interesting one.
Macy Grey, what a phenomenal voice.
And The Four Tops are just always so much fun
and they always have such great songs.
I think people are going to expect me to go with Four Tops.
I'm going with "I Try" by Macy Grey.
NIECY NASH: OK. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
For $150,000, Shayne,
I am looking for 10 missing words, OK?
SHAYNE DAVIES: Let's do it. NIECY NASH: And we're going to
start the song from the top.
Ricci, let's do it.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)
RAEGAN DAVIES: Whoo!
NIECY NASH: All right, Shayne, before the break,
Macy Grey said, "Though I tried to hide it."
You said, "It's clear, my world crumbles
when you are not here."
Are you confident?
SHAYNE DAVIES: I'm feeling 80% confident
about that answer, and not necessarily
because of how much I know the song;
of how well I know the scene in "The Office"
when everybody starts singing it together,
from the TV show.
It's like I said, I love TV.
I very specifically remember that scene
they were singing this.
"Though I try to hide it, it's clear,
my world crumbles when you are not here".
Lock in those lyrics.
RAEGAN DAVIES: All right. (AUDIENCE CHEERING)
NIECY NASH: You did not hesitate.
You locked in those lyrics.
If you are right, you will bank $150,000.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)
If you are wrong, you will drop
all the way down to $25,000.
SHAYNE DAVIES: That would not be fun.
I would not love that. I'll be honest with you.
I would prefer to stay in the upper side of the ladder.
NIECY NASH: Really? SHAYNE DAVIES: Yeah.
Absolutely. NIECY NASH: Oh yeah.
I wouldn't have guessed it.
All right, for $150,000,
is it "it's clear, my world crumbles
when you are not here"?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(DIRE MUSIC)
SHAYNE DAVIES: Oh no! (AUDIENCE GASPING)
NIECY NASH: Oh, Shayne!
That is not correct.
SHAYNE DAVIES: I know exactly what it is.
NIECY NASH: Raegan, do you know the answer?
RAEGAN DAVIES: I'm going to guess that it's "near" maybe,
but I don't know it for sure.
NIECY NASH: Let's take a look at
the correct lyric. SHAYNE DAVIES: It's "near".
(AUDIENCE GASPING) NIECY NASH: It is "near".
Shayne, you are leaving with $25,000.
SHAYNE DAVIES: I'll take that.
NIECY NASH: And you have taught us all a lesson
about judging a book by its cover.
Take a bow. One more time for Shayne!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING) (LIVELY MUSIC)
Next time, more singers, more songs,
more words, and $1 million
right here on "Don't Forget The Lyrics!".
