Don’t Forget the Lyrics (S1E7) Joey and Holly

Recap of Season 1, Episode 7 (Goin’ Old School!) with host Niecy Nash

First up: Joey Ancona, a program director at a performing arts school from Brooklyn, NY

No. 1: Category/Song: Boy Bands/“Bye Bye Bye” (*NSYNC), 3 missing words for $2,500
“I just wanna tell you that ___ 🟪 ___ 🟪 ___”
Joey used two of his words to get to the right answer.

No. 2: Category/Song: ’70s/”Copacabana” (Barry Manilow), 4 missing words
“Copacabana, music and passion ___ 🟪 ___ 🟪 ___ 🟪 ___”
Joey had two mistakes in his guess. He fixed one mistake and didn’t see any need to check further with his backup singer, Rod. Unfortunately, he had the wrong past tense form of the verb “to be” so he had to leave empty-handed. You gotta watch those conjunctions!

Holly got to this point without using any of her 3 backup words or her brother and backup singer, Scott. She decided to use one of her 3 words to check on Word #6. There was no change there and she decided to lock in her lyrics. Alas, the word she had wrong was #9.
