I have two beautiful boys, Tory and Jack.
And music is something that just lives in my world

and she used to blare it in her room all the time.
Okay. So I'm hoping I remember
those lyrics, man!

I love Barry Manilow,
so I'm going to go with "Copacabana."
The Manilow it is.

So that one makes me a little bit nervous.
"Back at One" -- I had two students who were in daycare,
and they would always come to me after school.
And that song came on the radio.
And I was singing it, and then they started singing it.
That has a lot of sentimental value to me.
Do you know the lyrics? I don't know.
Okay. But we're going to go for it.
Let's go "Back at One."
Alright, if you get this right,
$100,000 is yours. Okay. Okay.
Oh, my God!
We're going to start from the chorus,
and I am looking for 12 words.
Oh, boy.
Miguel, let's go.

Okay, let's clarify what you just said.
Brian McKnight said, "Five, make you fall..."
You said...
♪ In love with me ♪
♪ Whenever I believe the work is done ♪
♪ I'll start back at one ♪
Well, do you want to put up what you just said?
Yes, let's put up "and when."
♪ And when ♪
I believe the work is done.
"In love with me," and "when I believe the work is done,"
is what you have there. Mnh-mnh. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Now, you still have your backup singer.
And you also have three words. I do.
I'm going to use a word because one might trigger me...
Mm-hmm. ...and jolt me into the lyric.
Which word would you like to see?
Let's do six, please.
Oh, see, triggering.
Mm.
May I change five to "if"?
Yes.
♪ If ever I believe the work ♪
See, then he'll start back at one.
See? If he believes the work is done, he'll start back at one.
You still have a couple of backups
if you're unsure about any of it.
My brother is not going to know Brian McKnight.
Okay.
I will tell you that this minute.
His loss. His loss. I agree.
But...mnh-mnh. Would you like to see another word?
I don't know. If you get this right,
you bank $100,000.
If you play and get it wrong, you drop down to $25,000.
Or you can walk away with the $75,000 you already have.
I see.
You got a tough decision to make.
But the good thing about it is that you still have backups.
I do. ♪ Fall in love with me ♪
♪ If ever I believe ♪

Do you see this look on my face? I do.
Guess what that looks means?
Why don't you tell me? Lock in those lyrics.
Oh! I did not know that's what you were going to say.
Oh, boy.
I can think of no other words, so let's do this.
Okay. You're going to go one at a time or something, aren't you?
I could just snatch the Band-Aid off if you'd like.
Please snatch it off.
Alright, for $100,000, let's do it.
Is it, "In love with me,
if ever I believe the work is done"?

Oh!
[ Audience groaning ]
That is incorrect. I'm so sorry.
Let's take a look at the correct lyric.
"My."
"My" work is done.
Sorry, you guys, sorry.
You are leaving us, Holly, with a guarantee of $25,000.
I will take it. I will take it.
And that's not bad for a night's work. That's not bad.
Give it up for Holly!
Yeah, Holly!
Thank you so much, Holly.
Thank you, Niecy, thank you.
Next time, more singers try to conquer the million-dollar song.
Will anybody take it down?
