If someone actually reaches the million dollar song, what do you think it might be? Obviously it'd have to be something extremely difficult.
Top candidates possibly include:
Informer- Snow
We Didn't Start The Fire- Billy Joel
It's The End Of The World As We Know It- REM
I think We Didn't Start the Fire would be a good choice; It's the End of the World as We Know It wouldn't be too difficult to do, though.
shareHow about The Logical Song, The Devil Went Down to Georgia, people always get the line after chicken in the bread pan picking out dough wrong. It's Granny will your dog bite no child no.
All Revved up and No Place to Go
How about Louie Louie?
the biggest nightmare song that i can think of for a contestant is bob dylan's "subterranean homesick blues"...the line with which most people are familiar is "you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."
of course, the contestant would have to be as OLD as i am to stand a chance...
How about something like Busta Move, that song is fast and it's hard to learn all the words. Or parts of It Wasn't Me. LOL
sharei know its really recent but any sean paul song....
Lick....the...paper....walnut?-Kyle XY
"Bad Touch" or "Foxtrot, Uniform, Charlie, Kilo" by Bloodhound Gang

Sean Paul wouldnt really be fair since he speaks mostly in Jamaican patois & its not all english. But I would love it if they added a reggae category every now & then.

I don't know but I have a feeling that if they decide to go for the million dollar song they have to decide if they want to go for it before they see the choices (maybe given the catagory). Then if they go for it they can't back out. (like on Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader)
shareI agree wolfie43. Since the format for Don't Forget The Lyrics is like Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader, it probably will be like that.
And I don't think the million dollar songs will be that hard. Most of the million dollar questions for Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader were fairly easy.
they should use smells like teen spirit u can barely understand cobain and its nearly impossible to get it right
Beware the Lord of Darkness!
I was on the show. They told us if you go for the million with back-ups left, they go away, so use them before that question. They also told us if you go for it, you get no choice. It's ONE SONG. No options.
Last thing is the million dollar song will have been a number one hit. No obscure album cuts.
Would they let you see the name of the song, or at least genre, before deciding to risk the 500K?
shareNope.
Interesting. So basically, if we were to make it that far, we'd be risking $475K (wrong answer, drop down to 25K) for an attempt at $1 Million. And all we know it's a #1 hit, which could be anything from "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" to "Gold Digger". It'll take a lot of guts to go for that Million Dollar Song, but it'll be entertaining to watch.
shareHow many lyrics do you have to fill in? The entire song?
shareNo, just the number of words they specify. The most I had to give was 13, and that was
more than once, but at lower levels. The million dollar song will most likely be a big chunk of a verse. They're not going to give you a few words of the chorus at that point!

no person of average means will ever attempt the million dollar song. to 99% of the country $500k represents 10 or more years of work.
The format of the show to me is pretty silly. it should be like who wants to be a millionaire where you at least get to see the song and then decide to attempt and if you lock in the wrong lyrics then you go back to say 100k not 25k. no one is ever going to attempt the million dollar song in this format unless they are already wealthy and dont need the money. for a normal guy like me that would pay off my house and bills and still have money left over for a few new cars.. i wouldnt think of risking it.

BUMP
Well, tonight "We Didn't Start the Fire" came up as one of the first songs so I guess it's not the Million Dollar Song.

I was at 100,000 going for 200,000 when I got a word wrong. I won 25,000 and they flew out my "sister" from Australia. I was very happy with the whole experience. We had a great time.
shareHow about the song they play during the show's opening and when coming back from each commercial break, "China Grove" by the Doobies? That definitely has some of the least decipherable lyrics of any popular song I've heard.
shareBack in one of the early episodes, I believe they DID offer "China Grove" as a song choice, but the singer didn't choose it.
shareYeah, they did offer that one.....I remember saying if I was there I would have chosen it.....but I would've been nuts, LOL. Even though I love it and sing it every time I hear it, its a tough one!

Now we know. It's a number 1 song very few people have ever heard. I had a feeling it would be obscure.
shareOddly enough, it's the one song on that whole episode I actually knew by heart. I didn't even know the disco song choices and that's usually my best category. I had no idea "You're Sixteen" was really all that obscure since it was all over the oldie station I used to listen to.
shareIt should also fall under the category of classic rock. But I've never heard it play on any classic rock station. I don't know the song at all.
