Game show w/ Meat, Patti, & Pearl

Steingirl · 11 Sep 2008, 19:11

My cousin in California was recently at a taping of a game show called "Don't Forget the Lyrics" and she was so shocked that the contestant on the show was... Meat Loaf and he brought Patti and Pearl along with him. This is a show in which contestants are given different catagories of music to choose from and then they must sing the exact lyrics to the chosen song. They can bring along 2 friends to help them (Patti and Pearl). Regular contestants get to keep their earnings, but the musicians who compete on the show always play for charity. The show airs in the U.S. on Friday nights, but she doesn't know the exact date that Meat's episode will air.

This sounds really good, Patti and Pearl have mentioned it in blogs but their contracts apparently stop them saying when it'll be aired, so you guys over there will have to keep your eyes peeled!

~Helen~ · 11 Sep 2008, 19:23

wow! would love to see that!

djfierce · 11 Sep 2008, 21:04

Their contracts dont stop them saying, they both say they wont know till nearer the time when exactly it will be aired. Sounds good fun though, we get the regular show on sky one so hopefully we will get the celeb edition too.

Is it Sky 1 you get it on? - I haven't watched it before

**Monstro** · 11 Sep 2008, 21:36

Sky are already showing the American version, we'll just have to keep our eyes peeled for this one

Cant say i'm crazy about the show so i dont watch it but yeah its sky 1, as m says the US version is being shown right now, just got an idea that it may be shown at the end of the series maybe as thats when they usually show celeb versions right?? Or xmas?? We're not THAT far away now

Since Meat was on Don't Forget The Lyrics i sincerely pray that Blind as a Bat wasn't one of the songs......

cause I want meat to win

mszee · 11 Sep 2008, 22:15

Apparently, you can watch full episodes of this show online...didn't find anything about Meat and I don't really watch the show...

i think it'd be better if it wasn't any of his songs...just some good old style rhythm and blues and rock standards

djfierce · 11 Sep 2008, 23:28

i doubt it would be any of his songs, that would just be stupid.

Unless its Blind as a Bat

djfierce · 12 Sep 2008, 00:05

I have no idea what you're on about but i'm sure someone somewhere does

Battybarb · 12 Sep 2008, 00:06

Sounds like it could be good to see

dang my jokes go nowhere fast........

Okay my explanation:

I don't think Meast ever 100% got the BAAB lyrics correct at any gig. There's always a top-of-the-head verse (like on 3 Bats Live) from the stuff I've seen and heard.\

Get it? it's not funny anymore cause i had to explain it..... lol

I'm a looser

djfierce · 12 Sep 2008, 00:27

actually its not funny cos you're wrong

he has had the words (maybe not the tune always lol) right at every gig i've seen him at after RAH.
You sure you dont mean Bad for good, cos i'll give you that

Not sure you can comment anyway if you havent seen any or all of his gigs anyway

True, I have seen every gig in PA since '05 though.

Thanks Zina, it's nice to know its there if we miss the airing too, i wouldve thought it would get shown in the U.S before it hits our sky boxes anyway.

I tried to find out anything...nothing...usually FOX is way too happy to promote any kind of celebrity that will venture their way...I would have thought it would be all over the place...but I've posted the link up there to the web page (that's where it actually says that you can watch the entire show online)...I've looked up and down that page and it doesn't even say when (which day of the week) they are airing that show??? LOL....

I saw it once and that was enough...depending on day I can be on a look out for it...but I don't know which day...

mszee · 12 Sep 2008, 02:02

Alright...after many trials and tribulations I finally found on another website that in the States it's on Friday at 9 pm...so yeah, I can do that from time to time - not always home on Friday nights...
