Lyrics Quiz: Songs from The Sing-Off


The promo monkeys at The Sing-Off had me worried there for a while; seriously, how dare they even suggest Antoine Merriweather might have been voted out last night. Thankfully much like any Survivor promo that implies someone is going to be sent home never actually does the following episode, Antoine and his boys were saved this week (weirdly with the doom and gloom promo, they did not even fall to the bottom two last night). With just one more episode until the season finale (though there is a holiday special the following week) I thought I would look back at some of my favorite songs from this past season in Lyrics Quiz form. As always leave your guesses, both artist and song title, in the comment section or e-mail me. If you are correct I will un-bold the lyric and give you credit. Please keep in mind the lyrics quiz is for entertainment purposes only so please only use your own meandering mind to guess them.
