- Do we have what it takes to sing in the spotlight?
- Let's talk about that.
(gentle upbeat music)
Good Mythical Morning!
- We're multifaceted performers.
We host, we write books, and we even do a little singing.
- Yeah, but you forgot
that we can also dig medium sized holes.
- And we can also dig medium sized holes.
- That's right, but sometimes, and just sometimes,
we don't wanna share the spotlight.
Sometimes we each want to bask in that light all on our own.
- Mm-hmm, so today, we're putting all of our talents,
minus the hole digging, I think, to the test
in an improvised musical challenge.
It's time for "The Spotlight Shuffle"!
(upbeat electronic music)
- [Stevie] Okay guys, here's how this is gonna work.
You're going to sing a collection of songs,
but those songs are only partially completed.
A few key lyrics are missing
and we need you to fill in those blanks.
- Okay.
- [Stevie] So here's how you're gonna do it.
Above you will be a spotlight
just waiting to shine its bright light upon you.
At the top of each round, you'll be joined
by a different Mythical crew member
and that spotlight will engage and shuffle
between the three of you before suddenly stopping
on just one person.
- Okay.
- [Stevie] And when it stops, I will prompt that person
for a certain type of word,
like a noun, an adjective, verb, etc.
You get it?
- You talking about a mad lib?
- [Stevie] Yeah, that word will go into your lyrics.
We'll do this spotlight shuffle several times
and once we've collected enough words to complete your song,
we'll hit the music and you'll sing your created song.
How does that sound?
- Wonderful.
- Well, it sounds like now we're sharing the spotlight
with even another person.
- Yeah, I didn't wanna say it, but I was thinking it.
- But there's still just one spotlight, right?
- [Stevie] Yeah.
- Yeah.
- And it's only on one of us at a time?
- [Stevie] Yeah.
- So we're not sharing it.
- Okay. - We are, but not.
- Okay.
(upbeat electronic music)
- Welcome to the Spotlight Shuffle zone, Emily!
- Hey!
Hi.
(Rhett laughing)
- Are you willing to share the spotlight?
- I would be honored to do that.
- I don't think you have to.
- Oh, okay.
(crew laughing)
- No, no, no, no, no.
You're obligated at this point.
- All right, all right, all right.
- [Stevie] Okay. - You're in too far.
- [Stevie] Are you ready for the first Spotlight Shuffle?
- Yes.
- Yeah, yes. - Yes, yes, yes.
- I guess.
- [Stevie] Commence the spotlight in three, two, one.
I'm looking for a verb.
- Oh.
(bell dings)
- [Stevie] Rhett.
- Caress.
- [Stevie] I'm looking for an adjective.
(bell dings)
Link.
- Snazzy.
- [Stevie] I'm looking for an adjective.
(bell dings)
Emily.
- Smelly.
- [Stevie] I'm looking for a noun.
(bell dings)
Rhett.
- Ramrod.
- [Stevie] I'm looking for a body part.
(bell dings)
Rhett.
- Butt.
(Link and Emily laughing)
- [Stevie] s I'm looking for an animal.
(bell dings)
Emily.
- Bumblebee.
- A lot of syllables. - Sorry.
- [Stevie] I'm looking for a lot of a verb.
(bell dings)
Emily.
- Jump.
- [Stevie] I'm looking for a verb.
Link.
- Unzip.
(Rhett laughs)
- [Stevie] I'm looking for a verb.
(bell dings)
Rhett.
- Investigate.
(Emily laughs)
- [Stevie] I'm looking for a member of the family.
(bell dings)
Link.
- Weird aunt.
- (laughing) Okay.
- [Stevie] Okay. Those are all.
See, my voice changes when I'm not looking for words.
(Rhett, Link, and Emily laughing)
- It felt good. All right, all right, all right.
- Great start.
- Yes, great start. All right.
- [Stevie] Those are all the words I need
for this first song, but just give us a minute
to complete the lyrics.
(upbeat electronic music)
Okay, you're probably wondering.
Why are we standing up
and spaced so awkwardly next to each other?
Well, that's because the spotlight shuffle
doesn't stop at the lyric picking.
It also goes into the singing.
So every time the spotlight shines on you,
that's your turn to sing.
Every time it's not on you, please don't sing.
(Emily laughs) - Okay.
- [Stevie] The style of music this round is country.
- Good. - All right!
- [Stevie] Let's hit the music and shuffle that spotlight.
- Hey.
