Game Show that can be considered a modern take on Name That Tune, where a single contestant tries to correctly guess the next line in a series of popular songs of the player's choice (given the number of missing words) to climb higher up a stereotypical money ladder with the help of stereotypical assists to win up to a stereotypical $1,000,000. Each song is played as a karaoke-style performance (complete with a live cover band on the Fox primetime version), until the screen displays a series of blanks corresponding to each missing word, where the contestant must correctly guess what the missing words were.

  • Game Show that can be considered a modern take on Name That Tune, where a single contestant tries to correctly guess the next line in a series of popular songs of the player's choice (given the number of missing words) to climb higher up a stereotypical money ladder with the help of stereotypical assists to win up to a stereotypical $1,000,000. Each song is played as a karaoke-style performance (complete with a live cover band on the Fox primetime version), until the screen displays a series of blanks corresponding to each missing word, where the contestant must correctly guess what the missing words were. The main game uses nine themed categories (usually dealing with a genre, artist, time period, etc) with two song choices each for the levels leading up to $500,000, followed by the Million-Dollar Song, an almost All or Nothing gamble on a mystery song that had been a number one hit. Get it right (like nobody ended up doing) and you won $1,000,000, but lose and you drop back down to $100,000...or you can always chicken out and leave with $500,000. The show ran for a few seasons on FOX's primetime lineup from 2007-09. A syndicated version with a modified format and a $50,000 top prize ran from 2010-11, hosted by Mark McGrath and usually paired with sister show Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?. Reruns of Lyrics will return on Family Net in October 2011, and Canadian music channel MuchMore still airs them (they also aired reruns of the Wayne Brady version too)
