ANNOUNCER: Tonight, an army veteran...
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Hi. NIECY NASH: Hey.
ANNOUNCER: Takes command.
♪ I'm so excited
NIECY NASH: Yeah!
♪ And I just can't hide it
NIECY NASH: I'm hanging out
with my favorite contestant right now.
(BURGANDY LAUGHS)
ANNOUNCER: But she almost didn't make it here at all.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I went to the emergency room
and they were like,
"I hate to tell you this, but you're dying."
ANNOUNCER: She is facing a monumental struggle.
NIECY NASH: Baby, you don't look
like what you been through.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
ANNOUNCER: And winning money tonight
won't just be life changing...
NIECY NASH: Yes!
ANNOUNCER: It could be life saving.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I'm a little overwhelmed.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) (UPBEAT FUNKY MUSIC)
ANNOUNCER: Please welcome a woman
who has known Doja Cat
since she was Doja Kitten, Niecy Nash.
(UPBEAT FUNKY MUSIC) (AUDIENCE CHEERING)
NIECY NASH: Welcome to "Don't Forget the Lyrics".
Our rockstars will have to remember
a lot of words to win big.
But I want them to all focus
on the three most important words, one million dollars.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) All right.
And here's four more great words,
It's Ricci and the Band.
(UPBEAT BAND MUSIC) (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Our rockstar is ready for their big moment,
so let's bring 'em out.
She's a proud army veteran whose biggest battles
are not in the military.
From Atlanta, Georgia, put your hands together
for Burgandy Williams.
(UPBEAT FUNKY MUSIC) (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Hello! BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Hi!
NIECY NASH: Welcome.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Thank you.
NIECY NASH: Tell me a little
about your time in the military.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: All right, well I am
a eight year army, disabled veteran.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) Thank you very much.
Hey, that was my pinning ceremony when I made specialist.
And then I went to Operation Iraqi Freedom
during the war and that was a lot.
And that's when I decided,
"You know, I think I'm going to get out.
One war is good enough for me."
NIECY NASH: I know that's right.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Some of your biggest battles are not in the military.
Tell me about it.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I have this thing
called rhabdomyolysis where my muscles deteriorate.
In 2016, my kidneys had stopped working and it's incurable,
but it's something I have to live with.
And two months later, I got out of ICU.
Three months later I got off of dialysis
and this year I'm trying to be hospital-free.
And every day since, I've been fighting.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: I have only known you for a short while,
but I do know that you are a fighter and, baby,
you don't look like what you've been through.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Thank you.
NIECY NASH: Let's get you some money.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Let's get it.
NIECY NASH: So here's how it's going to go.
If you give me the correct missing lyrics to 10 songs,
Burgandy, I am going to give you $1 million!
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Let's go.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: Let's take a look
at your categories for tonight.
Motown, Pop, New Wave,
One-Hit Wonders, Family Bands,
Heart, Hip-Hop, '60s, and #1 Hits.
OK, the first song is worth $2,500
and the money keeps growing,
right up to the $1 million song.
And if you make it to $25,000, that money is guaranteed.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Ah.
NIECY NASH: All right, which category
do you want to go for first?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: These categories
are making my heart palpitate
'cause I don't know what's behind some of them.
I don't know what New Wave means,
but I'm going to go with One-Hit Wonders.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: All right.
I am going to show you your two song choices.
"Bad Day" by Daniel Powter
or "You Got to Be" by Des'Ree.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: "Bad Day", I'm more familiar with.
I will go with "Bad Day", Daniel Powter.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: OK.
For this song, I am looking for four missing words.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: So many.
NIECY NASH: We're going to start the song from the top.
You ready?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: No. (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
NIECY NASH: I need you to be ready.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I'm going to be ready.
NIECY NASH: OK.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Hit it, Ricci.
("BAD DAY" BY DANIEL POWTER)
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: (SIGHS) All right, here we go.
NIECY NASH: Sing, girl.

NIECY NASH: Hey, come on.
♪ You pick up the leaves and the magic is lost ♪
♪ They tell me your blue skies fade to gray ♪
♪ They tell me your passion's gone away ♪

♪ You stand in the line just to hit a new low ♪

BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Ooh, yay.
You had a bad day.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDS)
NIECY NASH: All right.
Let's take a look.
Daniel Powter said "You work at a smile and you..."
You said say, "Say goodbye you had."
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: This would be the one part
I was really unsure of so...
NIECY NASH: Well, let's talk about your backups.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: OK. NIECY NASH: All right.
You have two backups.
First is your backup singer.
Who did you bring with you today?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I brought my birthday twin.
TATIANNA: Hi.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Birthday twin is Tatianna Mott.
Me and her have been kicking it hard now
for what, four or five years?
TATIANNA: Eight?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I'm really bad at math.
NIECY NASH: OK, well this is not a math show,
so that's a good thing.
Tatianna can help you out with an answer,
but only for one song.
Or you have five words.
If any time you're unsure about a word,
just tell us which one and we can reveal the correct word.
Now you can use your words all at once
or you can spread 'em out across the game.
Would you like to use one of your backups?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I'm going to definitely use a backup
and I'm going to save her.
I'm going to use them words.
NIECY NASH: OK, which line would you like to see?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I would like to see number four.
NIECY NASH: Please reveal the correct word
for line number four.
(WORD WHOOSHES)
Does that help you at all?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Yes, it does.
NIECY NASH: Would you like to change the line?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I would like to change
all three of those.
I would like, "Go for a."
(WORDS WHOOSH)
NIECY NASH: Are you feeling a little more confident?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I'm feeling a little bit
better about that.
♪ You work at a smile and you go for a ride ♪
I will use one more.
NIECY NASH: One more word?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Yeah. NIECY NASH: OK.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Can we do word number one?
(WORD WHOOSHES)
♪ Well, all right
NIECY NASH: Are you ready to lock in those lyrics?
I'm ready to lock in those lyrics.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
(DRAMATIC EFFECTS BOOM)
NIECY NASH: You locked in those lyrics.
If you are correct, the entire line will turn green.
If any word is wrong, it will turn red
and the game is over.
For $2,500, is it, "Go for a ride"?
(DRUMROLL)
(TONE CHIMES)
Hey, there you go. (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
You've made $2,500,
and you're on your way to the $1 million song.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Hey.
NIECY NASH: Let's try and double that right now.
This next song is worth $5,000.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) BURGANDY WILLIAMS: All right.
NIECY NASH: All right, Burgandy.
Which category do you want to play for next?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I will definitely go with Motown.
I spent my entire life singing Motown songs,
so I'm going to go with Motown.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: All right.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"I'll be there" by The Jackson 5
or "Midnight Train To Georgia" by Gladys Knight & The Pips?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I've always loved The Jackson 5.
I think I'm going to go with, "I'll Be There", Jackson 5.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: all right.
For $5,000, I'm going to need four missing words.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: OK.
NIECY NASH: And we'll take the song from the top.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: All right.
NIECY NASH: Let's do it, Ricci.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDS)
("I'LL BE THERE" BY THE JACKSON 5)
♪ You and I must make a pact
♪ We must bring salvation back
♪ Where there is love, I'll be there ♪
♪ I'll reach out my hand to you ♪

♪ Oh, I'll be there to comfort you ♪
♪ Build my world and dreams around you ♪
♪ I'm so glad that I found you yeah ♪
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
♪ I'm glad I found you, yeah
NIECY NASH: Let's take a look.
The Jackson 5 said, "I'm so glad..."
You said, "That I found you."
How are you feeling about this answer?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I felt good at first,
but now I'm thinking prepositions, pronouns,
things of that nature.
I'm thinking all of my English lessons
are all of a sudden coming back to my head.
And I'm like, "I'm so glad that I found you."
Sounds right.
You know what, Niecy?
I'm going to lock in those lyrics.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) (DRAMATIC EFFECTS BOOM)
NIECY NASH: All right.
You locked in those lyrics.
For $5,000, is it, "That I found you"?
(DRUMROLL)
(TONE CHIMES)
Oh!
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: That's it!
NIECY NASH: You got it right.
That is $5,000.
Only eight songs left to the million.
But first, we got to get you to that $25,000,
which is guaranteed.
Now let's try to double that money again.
This time we are playing for $10,000.
Whoo! (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
All right, let's pick your category.
What are you thinking?
Pop, New Wave, Family Bands, Heart, Hip-Hop,
'60s or #1 Hits?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I need a pick-me-up,
so I'm picking pop. (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: all right, let's take a look
at your two songs choices.
"2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)" by Lizzo
or "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5
featuring Christina Aguilera.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: "2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)".
No, not right now at this moment.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
"Moves Like Jagger".
I know, I remember listening to this
all the time when I was delivering newspapers in Atlanta.
So I'm going to go with "Moves Like Jagger".
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) (DRAMATIC EFFECTS BOOM)
NIECY NASH: You have lived many lives.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Baby, I'm a cat.
NIECY NASH: I know that's right.
For this song, I am going to need three missing words
and we'll start the song at the first chorus.
Ready? BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Ready.
NIECY NASH: She's ready. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDS)
("MOVES LIKE JAGGER" BY MAROON 5 FEAT. CHRISTINA AGUILERA)
♪ Take me by the tongue, and I'll know you ♪
♪ Kiss me till you're drunk, and I'll show you ♪

(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: All right.
Let's take a look.
Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera said,
"Oh yeah, yeah, and it..."
You said, "Goes like this."
How confident are you about this answer?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Niecy, I'm confident
about that answer.
If I ain't confident about nothing else,
I'm confident in that answer.
Yep, that's it. That's it.
Lock in those lyrics. Let's go.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
(DRAMATIC EFFECTS BOOM)
NIECY NASH: All right.
You popped your collar and locked in those lyrics.
Burgandy, for $10,000 is it, "Goes like this?"
(DRUMROLL)
(TONE CHIMES)
Yes! (BURGANDY SCREAMS)
You just made $10,000!
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Whoo! (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: Only seven songs left to the $1 million song.
But first, are you ready to turn it into $25,000 guaranteed?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I'm ready to turn it into $1 million.
Let's go. Let's go. NIECY NASH: All right!
Burgandy, is going take on her toughest song yet
when we come back on "Don't Forget The Lyrics".
(UPBEAT FUNKY MUSIC) (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Welcome back to, "Don't Forget The Lyrics".
I am here with Burgandy who just gave us a math lesson.
Jackson 5 plus Maroon 5 equals $10,000!
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
And she still has her backup singer, Tatianna,
and three words if she needs help.
Now we want to get her to $1 million,
but the game is about to get harder.
(DRAMATIC BEAT BOOMS)
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Shee...
NIECY NASH: There are six categories left.
This next song is worth $25,000 guaranteed.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
So Burgandy, what would you do with $25,000?
NIECY NASH: The number one specialist in New York
is out of my coverage and I want to see him.
So this would be the start of the journey
for me prolonging my life.
NIECY NASH: I love that. (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
So you know what we got to do?
We got to get you that money so you can see the specialist.
Now talk to me, which category
is going to get you that $25,000?
You still have left New Wave, Family Bands,
Heart, Hip-Hop, '60s and #1 Hits.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: OK, I don't know what Heart means.
NIECY NASH: Heart is a band.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Oh!
(AUDIENCE CONTINUES LAUGHING)
So I learned something new.
NIECY NASH: I wanted to clear that up for you.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I'm glad we cleared that up.
I feel really good about the '60s,
'cause it's dancey, dancey and I like dancey, dancey.
So let's dancey, dancey. (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
I choose '60s.
NIECY NASH: Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"Space Oddity" by David Bowie
or "Feeling Good" by Nina Simone.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: "Feeling Good",
I've heard that a whole lot of times.
I've never actually sung it, but I feel good about it.
So I am going to pick "Feeling Good", Nina Simone,
because she was dope. (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: all right, this is for $25,000 guaranteed.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Guaranteed.
NIECY NASH: I am going to need six missing words.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Oh, that's a lot of words.
OK then.
NIECY NASH: And we're going to start it at the second verse.
Hit it, Ricci.
("FEELING GOOD" BY NINA SIMONE) BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Hey!
♪ Fish in the sea, you know how I feel ♪
♪ River running free, you know how I feel ♪
♪ Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel ♪
♪ It's a new dawn, it's a new day ♪
♪ It's a new life for me
♪ And I'm feeling good
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: Listen, for somebody
who has never sung this song, you sang that song.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: (SHRIEKS) Thank you.
NIECY NASH: All right, Nina Simone said,
"It's a new dawn, it's a..."
You said, "New day, it's a new life."
How are you feeling about this answer?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Almost confident. Almost confident.
The song reminds me of when I was dying,
I had to learn to walk again
and I had to do a lot of physical therapy.
And this song, yeah, it hits me.
It hits me. I'm going to lock in those lyrics.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) (DRAMATIC EFFECTS BOOM)
NIECY NASH: All right.
Burgandy, you locked in those lyrics.
For $25,000 guaranteed.
Is it, "New day it's a new life"?
(DRUMROLL)
(TONE CHIMES) (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Burgandy! (FIREWORKS BOOMING)
Burgandy, you did it!
You did it!
$25,000 is yours no matter what happens in the game.
Girl, you can go ahead and call
and make your doctor's appointment.
How are you feeling right now?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I'm a little overwhelmed. (CRYING)
NIECY NASH: You're crying.
Tatianna's crying.
I'm about to start crying.
You are six songs away from a million dollars,
but you are in place to go see that specialist.
And now, we're going to try to double your money.
This time you are playing for $50,000!
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Yes.
NIECY NASH: Let's go get it, girl.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Yeah. NIECY NASH: All right.
What category is going to get you that money?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: These categories
are getting harder and harder for me.
I don't want to go with Family Bands yet.
Hip-Hop, Lord have mercy.
I'm going to go with #1 Hits.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: OK.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"Diamonds" by Rihanna or "Down Under" by Men At Work?
(BURGANDY LAUGHS)
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I love how this is a choice,
but it's not a choice.
I'm going to go with Ri-Ri all day.
So we're going to go with them "Diamonds",
'cause I want to be able to afford some with $50,000.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) NIECY NASH: All right.
For $50,000, Burgandy,
I am going to need seven missing words
and we'll start the song just before the chorus.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: OK. OK.
NIECY NASH: OK?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Yep. NIECY NASH: All right.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Thank you.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) NIECY NASH: That's right.
The crowd is with you and so is the band.
Hit it.

♪ I saw the life inside

Ri-Ri said, "So shine bright tonight, you and I..."
You said, "We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky."
How are you feeling about this answer?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I feel like I'm beautiful
like diamonds in the sky. NIECY NASH: Well?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I can't go wrong with that.
That's the truth.
So we're going to lock in those lyrics.
NIECY NASH: Oh!
(DRAMATIC EFFECT BOOM)
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: That's the truth right there, baby.
NIECY NASH: You locked in those lyrics, Burgandy.
For $50,000. BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Huh.
NIECY NASH: Is it, "We're beautiful
like diamonds in the sky"?
(DRUMROLL)
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Boy, don't fail me, Ri-Ri.
(TONE CHIMES)
NIECY NASH: Oh! (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Burgandy! (BURGANDY SHRIEKS)
You just banked $50,000!
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Thank you.
Yes!
NIECY NASH: That is great money.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Whoo!
NIECY NASH: But it's not as good as $75,000.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Oh, Jesus.
NIECY NASH: We'll be playing for that next,
right here on "Don't Forget The Lyrics".
(UPBEAT FUNKY MUSIC)
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Welcome back to "Don't Forget The Lyrics".
I am here with Burgandy who just banked $50,000!
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
There are four categories left to the $1 million song.
So let's keep this magical night going.
This next song is worth $75,000.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Woo.
NIECY NASH: Burgandy, talk to me.
How are you feeling about this experience so far?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: This is more money
than I make in a year, so this is great.
When I first moved to New York, I was homeless for a year.
I spent most of my time in and out of homeless shelters,
veteran shelters, really hustling to establish myself
in a city where I knew nobody. (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
New York is like one of the hardest cities in the world.
NIECY NASH: Yeah.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: And to come back to New York
with money when I started out with $900.
This is awesome.
NIECY NASH: I love that. (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
And I'm so happy to share this moment with you.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Thank you.
NIECY NASH: And to be a part of it.
Let's see which category is going to get you $75,000?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I still don't know what New Wave is.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
I'm going to go with Family Bands?
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) Family Bands.
NIECY NASH: All right.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"I'm So Excited" by the Pointer Sisters
or "MMMBop" by Hanson.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Oh, those are so distantly apart,
aren't they? (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
OK.
NIECY NASH: What are you thinking?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I'm thinking I never learned
any of the words to "MMMBop",
so I guess we Pointing Sisters.
"I'm So Excited".
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: For $75,000,
I am looking for eight missing words.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: All right.
NIECY NASH: And we will start the song
from the tippy top.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Uh-huh.
NIECY NASH: From the top, Ricci.

NIECY NASH: Honey, let me tell you something.
(BURGANDY LAUGHS)
I think I'm hanging out
with my favorite contestant right now.
(BURGANDY SHRIEKS)
Baby, 'cause you definitely lost control and I liked it.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Hey!
NIECY NASH: All right.
The Pointer Sisters said, "And I just can't hide it,
I'm about to..."
You said, "Lose control and I think I like it."
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
How are you feeling about this answer?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I feel really good about this answer
because it was hot in that thing and I had to come out of it
and it made a whole lot of sense, "And I just can't hide it.
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it."
Lock in those lyrics. Let's go.
Quit playing with me.
(DRAMATIC EFFECTS BOOM) Quit playing with me.
Let's go, Twin!
TATIANNA: I see you, Twin.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Let's go, Twin!
NIECY NASH: All right.
Burgandy, you locked in those lyrics for $75,000.
Is it, "Lose control and I think I like it"?
(DRUMROLL)
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Come on.
Come on, money.
(TONE CHIMES)
(BURGANDY SCREAMS) (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: You did it.
(BURGANDY CHEERS)
You have $75,000.
(BURGANDY SCREAMS)
NIECY NASH: We are getting into the big money.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Whoo!
NIECY NASH: Now, we are playing for $100,000!
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Burgandy, $100,000 is a lot of money.
How would your life be different after tonight?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: After tonight,
I can definitely afford medicine for my anxiety.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
There's so many entrepreneurs in my family,
artists in my family.
I want to sow seeds into their dreams.
So even after I'm gone, something will live on, you know?
And that they can go forward in something great.
AUDIENCE: Aw.
NIECY NASH: I love that. (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Let's see what we can do to build on that legacy.
(BURGANDY EXHALES) You only have three categories left.
New Wave, Heart and Hip-Hop.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: OK.
I'm just going to do what my heart is doing,
it's hip-hopping.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
So we'll go with Hip-Hop.
NIECY NASH: Going to go with Hip-Hop.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Yeah. (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: All right.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"Ride With Me" by Nelly featuring City Spud
or "The Humpty Dance" by Digital Underground.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: For "The Humpty Dance",
I know the dance.
I could do the Humpty Hump.
But I also feel like I would have a lot
of good help with this song.
So we're going to go with "The Humpty Dance".
NIECY NASH: OK. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDS)
You get this right, and $100,000 is yours.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Yo.
NIECY NASH: I am looking for six missing words.
The song is going to start at the first chorus.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: OK.
NIECY NASH: You ready?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Sure.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS) NIECY NASH: You ready?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I'm ready. Let's go.
NIECY NASH: All right, let's do it.

BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Ah, well...
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
ANNOUNCER: Coming up.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I am running a serious blank.

Burgandy's survivor instinct...
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I've never been a quitter before.
ANNOUNCER: Won't go down without a fight.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I'm anticipating greatness.

NIECY NASH: Welcome back to "Don't Forget The Lyrics"
I'm here with Burgandy who so far has banked $75,000.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
There are three categories left until the $1 million song
and now she's playing for $100,000.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Before the break, you sang "The Humpty Dance".
Let's take a look.
Digital Underground said, "Ya constantly try to compare me."
And you said, zero, zilch, Nada, nothing, goose egg.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Uh-huh.
That's exactly what I said.
NIECY NASH: Ba-da-bump-bump-bump.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: "Ya constantly trying to compare me,
but you can't get near me."
Let's try, "But you can't get near me."
(WORDS WHOOSH)
At least it fits. (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
"Ya constantly try to compare me."
But I don't know if any of those words are right.
NIECY NASH: Well, the thing of it is,
you still have your two backups,
you have three words left
and you have your BFF, Tatianna over there.
What would you like to do?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I would like to use a Tati.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
I'll use my backup.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: Tatianna, come on up.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Yeah!
TATIANNA: Hello. NIECY NASH: Welcome,
Tatianna.
TATIANNA: Hi.
NIECY NASH: What are your thoughts on this answer?
TATIANNA: Girl, you know
I don't know nothing about Hip-Hop.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
I'm the nerdy one of the two of us.
I mean, I do love "The Humpty Dance".
NIECY NASH: But you don't know this song?
TATIANNA: But I don't know the lyrics
to this part of the song.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Tragic.
TATIANNA: But I do like your guess.
Huh. Yeah, you're going to have to use some of your words.
I like that it rhymes.
I feel like that is the right way to go.
Maybe if we know what the end of that line is,
it might help us figure out
what the beginning of the line is.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: OK.
TATIANNA: But that's all I got for you.
NIECY NASH: Tatianna, I'm going to say thank you so much
for coming up and trying to help your friend.
TATIANNA: Stop it, girl.
You're killing it though. You're killing it.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: All right, Tatianna suggested
that you use some of your words.
Would you like to do that?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Yep.
NIECY NASH: OK, which line would you like to see
the correct word for?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I would like to see one to start.
NIECY NASH: Please reveal the correct word
for line number one.
(WORD WHOOSHES)
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: "Ya constantly try to compare me".
Could I have been right?
Let me get one more of them words.
NIECY NASH: Which one?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Gimme number five.
NIECY NASH: Please reveal the correct word
for number five.
(WORD WHOOSHES)
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Shoot.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
NIECY NASH: Are you feeling more confident now?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I'm feeling more confident now.
NIECY NASH: Oh yeah? Well what do you want to do about it?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I want to lock in those lyrics.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
I think that's right.
NIECY NASH: All right, Burgandy.
You locked in those lyrics.
If you are right, you will bank $100,000.
If you are wrong, you drop all the way down to $25,000
and the game is over.
For $100,000, is it, "But ya can't get near me"?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Is it?
(DRUMROLL)
(TONE CHIMES)
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) NIECY NASH: Oh!
You did it!
Woo! (BURGANDY LAUGHS)
Burgandy has just won $100,000!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
How does that feel?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: This feels unreal.
NIECY NASH: (SCREAMS) I love it.
How far can Burgandy go?
Only one way to find out.
Come right back to "Don't Forget The Lyrics".
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) (UPBEAT FUNKY MUSIC)
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Welcome back to "Don't Forget The Lyrics".
Burgandy has been on an incredible musical journey
from the '60s all the way through Hip-Hop
and she has just banked $100,000.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Right now, we are playing for $150,000!
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
But the game is about to get harder.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Burgandy, you are getting so close.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: So close.
NIECY NASH: To that $1 million song.
What is going through your head right now?
NIECY NASH: I don't know who these peoples is.
That's what's going through my head.
I'm a little nervous.
I'm not...
I'm not nervous, I think that's the wrong word.
I am...
I'm anticipating greatness.
NIECY NASH: Hey! (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
You better talk that talk.
You better speak life over this thing.
You better manifest your win.
That's right. I love it.
You already got your high profile doctor.
You already got something for your family
and building the legacy.
Let's see if we can keep it going.
This next song is worth $150,000.
And you are two categories from that $1 million song.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
The two categories you have left are New Wave and Heart.
Which one is going to get you that $150,000?
(AUDIENCE YELLS ANSWERS)
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Y'all be saying Heart
like y'all know the music.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
And New Wave could be something I know.
I'm going to go with New Wave.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
NIECY NASH: You were dreading New Wave this whole time.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I was dreading Heart
this whole time too because it ain't neither one of them
going to make me happy unless they make me $1 million.
NIECY NASH: All right, well let's take a look
at your two song choices.
"Whip It" by Devo or "Pop Muzik" by M.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I am running a serious blank
on the two of them.
I don't know what "Pop Muzik" is
and I'm not sure about "Whip It".
NIECY NASH: Well, you got to pick one.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: (SIGHS) I think I know
what "Whip It" sounds like or at least I've heard it.
So I will pick "Whip It".
NIECY NASH: OK. (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
For $150,000, I am going to need 10 missing words.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Oh, there's so many of them.
NIECY NASH: All right, from the top, Ricci.

NIECY NASH: How are you feeling about that?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I don't know.
(BURGANDY SIGHS)
NIECY NASH: What are you going to do?
(DRAMATIC EFFECTS BOOM)
(UPBEAT FUNKY MUSIC) (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Welcome back.
Burgandy has been burning up the stage all night long.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
This song is worth $150,000.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Let's take a look.
Devo said, "Get straight. Go forward."
You said, "It's not too late to whip it.
Whip it good."
Are you confident about this answer?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I am not confident about this answer.
I'm not confident about this song.
I'm still trying to figure out what New Wave is.
I'm definitely going to have to use my word.
NIECY NASH: OK, which line
would you like to see correct?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: I will go with word number 10.
NIECY NASH: Please reveal the correct word for line 10.
(WORD WHOOSHES)
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Ha ha.
NIECY NASH: Did that help you at all?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: It helped me.
So I know it's not, "Whip it late."
So I'm going to have to change some words.
NIECY NASH: OK, what would you like to see up there?
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: At the bottom,
can I change it, "It's not too late"?
NIECY NASH: Now the line reads,
"It's not too late to whip.
It's not too late."
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: That is completely wrong.
I know it.
"Get straight. Go forward."
"Whip it good."
"It's not..."
No.
Cheese and crackers.
NIECY NASH: Well it is obvious
that you're struggling on this song.
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: It is obvious.
NIECY NASH: Yeah.
So here are your options.
You can figure something out here that you feel good about
and lock in those lyrics.
If you are correct, you will bank $150,000
and you're on your way to $1 million.
But if you are wrong, you drop all the way down to $25,000
or you can bow out now with the $100,000
that you've already banked.
What would you like to do?
(BURGANDY SIGHS)
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Well. (SIGHS)
I've never been a quitter before.
But I've also never been a gambler either.
NIECY NASH: Let me tell you something right now.
Getting $100,000 is not quitting.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) It's wisdom
if you don't know the answer. BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Yeah.
So, Niecy.
I'll bow out.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) NIECY NASH: All right.
Burgandy is leaving with $100,000!
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
I just want to know.
Tatianna, did you know the answer to this?
TATIANNA: I did not. NIECY NASH: All right.
TATIANNA: But, I do know Heart.
So, but you know, it's OK. (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
NIECY NASH: All right, let's take a look
at the correct answer.
"Move ahead, try to detect it.
It's not too late."
BURGANDY WILLIAMS: Well, I guess we made
the right decision. NIECY NASH: You made
the right decision to bow out.
Burgandy, you are going home with $100,000!
(BURGANDY CHEERS)
Give it up for Burgandy!
Next time, more singers, more songs,
more missing words and $1 million
on "Don't Forget The Lyrics".
Goodnight!
