Announcer: Last time on "don't forget the lyrics",
We met chase, (chase beatboxing)
A beatboxing, single and ready-to-mingle house painter.
Niecy nash: Millions of girls are going to watch it.
Chase: I like it. I like it.
Announcer: He got off to a rocky start.
♪ I can buy myself flowers
Announcer: And when he went with miley,
Things got worse.
Niecy nash: You said, "you better than I can."
Chase: That's not it.
(dramatic music)
Announcer: But now, his last chance
At life-changing money.
Niecy nash: Listen, I know these lyrics are wrong.
Chase: I know these lyrics are wrong.
Announcer: May be his brother.
Chase: That's not terrifying.
Announcer: Will chase find a way forward?
Chase: I think that's right.
Carson: It's your call, brother.
Announcer: Or will he be heading home with nothing?
Chase: Is it coming my way?
Is it coming my way? Is it coming my way?
Announcer: Find out right now!
(audience applauding) (upbeat music)
Please welcome destiny's favourite child, niecy nash.
(upbeat music continues)
Niecy nash: Welcome to "don't forget the lyrics".
I'm here with chase, who has banked $5,000,
And he used up all of his words,
But still has his backup singer, carson,
If he needs a little help.
All right, last time, (suspenseful music)
You chose "flowers" by miley cyrus.
Miley said, "and I can hold my own hand.
Yeah, I can love."
You said, "myself better than you can."
(chase sighs)
You still have your backup singer over here.
Chase: Carson, you want to see what you got?
Carson: Why not? (audience cheering)
(audience applauding)
Niecy nash: How are you feeling, carson,
About what's on the board right now?
Carson: I like the direction he's going.
I don't know that "myself" is right.
It might just be "me".
Niecy nash: We could change "myself" to "me"
Just so you could take
A look at it. Chase: Yeah.
♪ love me better than you can
(audience cheering and applauding)
Niecy nash: How about we get the two of you to duet?
Chase: Let's do it! (audience cheering)
Niecy nash: You want to try it?
Chase: Yeah, let's do it! Niecy nash: All right.
Ricky, let's do it!
("flowers" by mile cyrus plays)
♪ I can buy myself flowers
♪ write my name in the sand
♪ talk to myself for hours

Carson: It's either "me" or "myself".
Chase: I think it's "me".
I think it's "me".
Niecy nash: So here are your options.
You can lock in these lyrics.
If they are correct, you bank $10,000.
(audience cheering and applauding)
If it's wrong, you walk away with nothing.
Or you can bow out and leave with $5,000.

And I might regret it later,
But niecy, lock in those lyrics!

Niecy nash: All right! Chase: Let's play!
We are hopping along. Niecy nash: You locked in
Those lyrics for $10,000!
Is it "me better than you can"?
(drum roll)
Carson: Come on, show us.

(triumphant music)
(audience cheering) carson: Yes!
(audience cheering and applauding)
(chase laughing)
Niecy nash: Carson, you came through!
You banked $10,000.
Chase: Love you, bro, yeah.
Niecy nash: Are you ready to turn it
Into 25,000 guaranteed? Chase: Yes! Absolutely.
Let's go. Niecy nash: All right!
But now, chase, you are out of backups.
Chase: Yeah.
Niecy nash: And the game is about to get harder.
Chase: Yeah.
Niecy nash: All right. (suspenseful music)
There are six categories left.
The next song is worth $25,000 guaranteed.
(audience cheering and applauding)
Carson: Let's go!
Niecy nash: So let me ask you,
What would you do with $25,000?
Chase: My right-hand man
And future business partner over here,
We want to start building tiny homes.
So $25,000 is a great way to start that company
And start working toward a dream of ours to just own
And rent out tiny homes all over the country.
Niecy nash: Well, I love that.
Chase: Yeah. Niecy nash: I love that.
So which category is going to get you
In the tiny home business?
Is it pop, classic rock, movie soundtracks,
'90s, motown, or outkast?
Audience member: Outkast!
(audience exclaiming)
Chase: So I'm torn right now
Because I love motown music.
However, growing up building together,
Classic rock was playing on the radio always.
We woke up one morning, we weren't feeling work,
We turned on the radio, classic rock played,
And we just started bopping,
And it got us through the day.
And since this is the money that could win us
Our future building together, I'm terrified,
I'm going to go with classic rock.
Niecy nash: All right. (audience cheering)
Here are your two song choices.
"born to be wild" by steppenwolf,
"two tickets to paradise" by eddie money.
(audience exclaiming)
Chase: I have to go with "born to be wild".
(audience cheering and applauding)
We're wild as can be,
So the wild wolfes joining together,
Yeah, we're going with "born to be wild".
Niecy nash: Yeah?
Chase: Yeah. (laughing)
Niecy nash: Ok, for this song,
I'm going to need six missing words.
Chase: Great. Niecy nash: And we're going to
Start it at the first chorus.
Chase: Ok.
Niecy nash: You ready? Chase: Mm-hmm.

But you definitely had a good time rocking out.

Why don't you sing that top lyric
Into the lyrics you gave us?
And if you sing it right, it'll all turn green.
Chase: Ok, that's not terrifying. (laughing)
Niecy nash: Let's just go for it.

Carson: Chase, chase, chase.
Niecy nash: Chase, that is yours
No matter what happens in the show.
(audience cheering and applauding)
How does that feel?
Chase: That feels really good.
Niecy nash: We're going to let you recover from the splits.

Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics".
Chase has taken us on a rollercoaster.

In the bank. (audience cheering)
That money is guaranteed
No matter what happens.
There are five categories left to the million dollar song,
But chase, you are out of backups.
Chase: Tell me about it.
Niecy nash: Yeah. (audience laughing)
Now we're going to try to double your money again.
Chase: Ok.
Niecy nash: Look into my eyes when I say $50,000!
(carson cheering) (audience applauding)
What category is going to get us there?
(audience exclaiming)
Chase: If I'm ever travelling
And going to find live music,
I want to hear some motown somewhere.
Audience member: Yes!
Chase: Speaks to the soul
And my soul needs some recovery right now.
So let's go with motown.
Niecy nash: All right. (audience applauding)
Here are your two song choices.
"it's the same old song" by the four tops
Or "love machine, part 1" by the miracles.
(suspenseful music)
Audience: "love machine"!
Chase: Once again, we're unfamiliar with both, so.
Niecy nash: Wow.
Chase: I know.
I'm really good at this game, let me tell you.
(audience laughing)
Let's go with "love machine".
(audience cheering)
Let's see how it goes.
Niecy nash: All right, for $50,000,
We're going to need seven missing words.
(audience exclaims)
Chase: Ok.
Niecy nash: And we're going to start it at the first verse.
You ready?
Chase: Yeah!

I got this.

All the songs you sung that led up to this,
I didn't know one of them.
I know these exact lyrics. (chase laughing)
(audience cheering and applauding)
I wish I could help you, but I can't.
(audience laughing) (suspenseful music)
So with that said, is there anything
You would like to see up here?
I can fill in some of these words for you.
Chase: Put like, "I can love you baby," up there.
♪ I'm just a love machine
♪ I can love you
(chase humming)
The rhythm in my head is not matching the words up there.
Niecy nash: Listen, I know that you are struggling.
Chase: Struggling.
Niecy nash: But there is no risk.
You are going to go home with $25,000. That's a fact!
(audience cheering and applauding)
Chase: So I need to make something up that sounds good.

Just put "I can love you baby just because."

It's not right.

Niecy nash: Listen, I know these lyrics are wrong,
So let me just say it if... (chase laughing)
Chase: I know these lyrics are wrong.
Niecy nash: All right, so you're going home with $25,000.
Let me play against myself
Right now. Chase: All right.
Niecy nash: All right, so I'm going to say
If I had to guess these lyrics...
Chase: Yeah.
Niecy nash: "I'm just a love machine,
And I won't work for nobody but you."
(audience cheering)
Chase: Oh! (audience applauding)
Your lyrics sound better than mine.
Niecy nash: For $50,000, is it
"I can love you baby just because"?
Chase: Why not? (drum roll)
(chase laughing)
I got one!
(audience cheering and applauding)
(chase laughing)
Niecy nash: All right,
Let's see what the correct lyrics are.
(audience cheering and applauding)
Relax, it's the only song
I've known all night, all right?
But you are leaving with enough money
To start your tiny business.
Chase: We did it. Niecy nash: $25,000.

Pretty confident in most of them.
But I have to go with
Motown.
(audience cheering and applauding)
Niecy nash: Ok, let's take a look
At your two song choices.
"I'm going to make you love me" by diana ross,
And the supremes, and the temptations

Krysten: Ooh.
Niecy nash: Let's pick your category.
Krysten: Ok, so I love tv.
I watch a lot of tv, probably too much tv,
But I love to read too.
I'm going to go with tv themes.
(audience applauding)
Niecy nash: Let's take a look and see what your two
Song choices are. Krysten: Ok.
Niecy nash: "where everybody knows your name",
The theme song from "cheers". Krysten: Oh, ok, ok.
Niecy nash: Or "the addams family theme"
From "the addams family".
Krysten: Ok, ok.
Audience: "cheers", "cheers", "cheers"!
Krysten: So "cheers" is a little before my time,
But my babysitter watched it,
So "the addams family theme",
I didn't even know they actually had words, so.
(audience exclaims)
Krysten: I'm going to go
With "the addams family theme" song
Because I feel like it'll trigger some things in my psyche,
And we going to make that work. Niecy nash: I love it.
You said, "I didn't even know there
Was a theme song to 'addams family'."
Followed by, "I will go with 'the addams family'."
(krysten laughing)
All right, so for "the addams family", krysten,
I'm going to need four missing words.
Krysten: Ok.
Niecy nash: And we'll start the song from the top.
Krysten: All right,

The next song is worth $25,000 guaranteed.
All right? Krysten: Ooh.
I like that. I like that guarantee.
(dereck clapping)
Niecy nash: What would you do with $25,000?
Krysten: Well, niecy,
I would definitely take that 25,000,
And my husband, my kids,
Right now we live at home with my mom, which I love them,
I appreciate them letting us be there,
But it is time to get our own home.
That's definitely right. Niecy nash: All right.
What category is going to make you a homeowner?
(krysten sighs)
Krysten: Ok, ok.
So I'm definitely going to save the classic rock for later.
Kelly clarkson, I sang a lot in karaoke.
What's going to give me that guaranteed 25k though?
Niecy nash: That is the question.
Krysten: That is the question.
Niecy nash: And what is the answer?
Krysten: The answer is kelly clarkson.
(audience cheering and applauding)
Niecy nash: All right, here are your two songs choices.
Krysten: Ok.
Niecy nash: "stronger, what doesn't kill you"
Or "a moment like this"?

Krysten: Ok, so I am familiar
With both of these songs.
It's like if I go with "stronger",
It's definitely like, you know, a fight girl,
Because I'm strong, woman power,

Welcome back, we're here with krysten,
Who already has $25,000 (audience applauding)
And is making plans to get out of her mama's house.
Krysten: I'm out.
Niecy nash: She's getting closer
To the million dollar song.
There are five categories left.
Krysten still has her backup singer, dereck,
To help her out if she needs it.
Now, this is where we try to double your money again
And make it $50,000!
(krysten cheering) (audience applauding)
Dereck: Let's go.
Niecy nash: All right, what category
Is going to get you the money?
Is it classic rock, pop,
'70s, duets, or grammy winners?
Krysten: Ok, so.
(audience exclaiming)
We're talking double the money, double the fun,
Then we got to go with duets.
(audience cheering and applauding)
I used to karaoke dj,
And I would always have regulars,
And they always wanted to do duets,
So I'm going to go with duets.
Niecy nash: Ok, let's take a look
At your two song choices.
"don't go breaking my heart"...
Krysten: Ooh.
Niecy nash: By elton john and kiki dee
Or "islands in the stream"
By kenny rogers and dolly parton.
Krysten: Ok, all right.
"don't go breaking my heart",
I'd love myself some elton john.
"islands in the stream",
My mom used to make us listen to a lot of dolly parton,
But that was not one of the songs she had us listen to.
So I'm going to go with "don't go breaking my heart"
By elton john and kiki dee.
(audience applauding)
Niecy nash: For this duet and $50,000.
Krysten: 50,000.
Niecy nash: I'm going to need
Seven missing words. Krysten: How many?
Ok, all right.
Niecy nash: And we'll start the song from the top.
Krysten: Ok.
Niecy nash: Are you ready?
Krysten: I have to, and I got to try.

Krysten: Oh. Niecy nash: Ok.
Are you unfamiliar with this song?

Krysten: And I didn't know that.
Niecy nash: Ok, well, you are not a clown
Because you are leaving... Krysten: No, no.
