Don’t Forget the Lyrics! on Fox

BY CHRISTIE OSBORN

Singing along to classic hits like “Faithfully” by Journey and “Stop! In the Name of Love” by Diana Ross and the Supremes is extremely fun and energizing. Winning money for singing those same songs correctly is a great bonus. Mike and Matt Landis, twins from Orlando, Florida, had the opportunity to try and correctly sing some money-winning songs on Don’t Forget the Lyrics!, shown on Fox at 8:00 p.m. ET, Friday, June 5^th. The fun-loving host, Wayne Brady, encouraged the twins as they attempted to correctly sing through nine categories to try and win the big one-million-dollar prize on the Best TV Show of the Week. The brothers showcased their love for classic rock by belting out songs by Skid Row, Men at Work, and T. Rex, usually with no hesitation whatsoever. Colin Hay, formerly of Men at Work, made a guest appearance to sing “Who Can It Be Now?,” and had the entire audience up on their feet singing and clapping along.

Matt and Mike’s brotherly bond was quite obvious as they joked on stage together and confidently synchronized the show’s famous line, “Lock in those lyrics.” When Wayne Brady asked what they were planning on doing with their prize money, one of the brothers said he was hoping to renew his vows with his wife of sixteen years. Despite their confidence and knowledge of music, the brothers were unsure of their lyrical attempt to “lock in” Stevie Wonder’s 1985 R&B song “Part-Time Lover” to secure $500,000. They happily agreed to walk away with $350,000 instead of risking it to guess the lyrics. This hour-long show is very entertaining and makes everyone want to sing along, making it a great opportunity to bond with family and friends and test your knowledge of pop culture.
