February 29 QoD -- "Don't Forget the Lyrics!"
Posted: Fri Feb 29, 2008 4:47 am
Rules: viewtopic.php?p=40443#40443
With two karaoke game shows on TV now, it’s only fair that we play the Bored version of karaoke. Rickey Minor and the band will be playing songs from a variety of decades and genres. Once the band stops and the words disappear from the screen, you’ll have to complete the lyrics. Just like on both shows, the lyrics have to be exact to get credit. The first 15 songs will have between 3-6 words missing. The bonus song will have significantly more words missing, but will be worth 5 points.
Warm up those singing voices... and let’s play!
Answers are due by Monday at 5 PM Eastern.
