Gameplay
Two contestants play this game. They alternated picking songs, singing their lyrics with words missing. The object was to fill in the correct words to the lyrics to earn money. On the primetime version, each correct word for the lyrics recieved $20. As for the daytime version, the contestant recieved $10 for each correct word. If the word was incorrect, no money would be awarded. Parks would nicely prod them until correctly guessed. Whichever contestant finished their song correctly, the audience would sing along. Two games were played per show. The contestant with the most money returned for the next show to face a new challenger. If a contestant won 5 days in a row, he/she would retire undefeated.
