- What, they're all singing different things.
- The beat sounds familiar.
- Jeannie! - (Jeannie) Worcestershire!
- Jeannie, you're not helping me, girl!
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) So today, we are gonna test your knowledge of pop music songs.
- Okay. - Okay.
- I've been a little bit off of listening to radio lately.
- Popular music, like radio stuff? Not my best subject.
- I never listen to the radio anymore. - Yeah, yeah.
- Which, I feel like is gonna make this pretty tough.
- (FBE) So here's the thing.
We actually won't be playing you the songs themselves.
Instead, we've asked a few people to sing a 30 second snippet
for you to try and guess the song from.
- Oh God. - That's so fun, okay.
- Okay.
- (FBE) To make this even harder, we limited them to using
only a single word, no humming, no whistling,
and absolutely no lyrics. - How's that possible?
- What? - (FBE) You'll find out!
- I'm excited to see what word they chose.
- I know! (laughs)
Oh God, this is gonna be a disaster. I love it.
- (FBE) Of course, you will be competing with each other.
Once the song starts playing, you'll write down both
the title and the artist on your whiteboard.
If you get both correct, you'll get two points,
if you get one correct, you get one point.
- Awesome! - Okey dokey.
- I hope that their humming skills and singing skills
are on point, 'cause my victory depends on you guys, so.

- Huh, the beat sounds familiar. - They're pretty good.
My brain would have lost the beat like four times.
- Austin came in with the actual melody,
and I'm like okay, now I know.
(Sheila hums)
- Sounds like a pop-ish song,
sounds like something a girl would sing.
Okay, I'm just gonna take a guess.

but I can't connect it with a person or anything.
- I have no idea at all.
They all sung three completely different [bleep] melodies.
- I didn't even get the melody in my head,
'cause they were laughing so much.
Come on guys, do you care about us or not?
- Oh, this is bad, this is real bad.
- Them singing Worcestershire is my last brain song.
- Like each clip was them like on a completely
different melody and beat, like that was a mess.
- Had they heard the song before?
- (FBE) Alright, show me your boards. Three, two, one.
- Nicki Minaj! - It's Britney, bitch!
- Big question mark. - Bad Guy?
- Yep. - Billie Eilish?
- (FBE) Let's see the answer.

- That did not sound... - What the [bleep]!
- Okay, so. - Yeah, they did like
the slowdown like the ♪ Worcestershire ♪
- Yeah, and then they kept... - And I was like that's from Bad Guy.
- Yeah. - Good job!
- Literally, I thought it was Billie Eilish
from like the first three seconds
and then every single person after that
made me question that decision.
- I had no idea where it was going.
I was very confused the whole time.

I like, only the first clip kinda gave me a little bit of something.
- I have nothing, I have literally nothing.
I know this isn't it. Like, I'm fully writing down a song
being like this is not the song I heard.
- (FBE) Alright, show me your boards. Three, two, one.
- Senorita. You didn't guess anything?
- No, 'cause like I have no clue.
- I was gonna write that one!
- 'Cause I kinda felt like I got a little bit of that.
- No, you don't understand! I wrote Senorita, then I erased it!
If it's Senorita, I'm gonna be so sad!
- I feel like a failure.
- (Austin) That was Boyfriend by Ariana Grande.
- How? (buzzer rings)
- Oh my God, I'm sorry queen! Oh my gosh!
- I don't know her, but I'm sorry.
- That was an L.
- It was Boyfriend!? Yes!
We did it, this is still a competition though.
- Oh my God! (Becca laughs)
Oh my God, no way!
- I did not think it was that song!
There's no way that's Boyfriend.
- That's so funny. That did not sound like that at all.
(buzzer rings)
- There's no way we coulda gotten that one.
- I, like I haven't even heard that one yet.
- They were given the word. - I'm gonna blame it on the reactors.
- They were given the name anemone.
They did they best they could. - Right, okay.
- So really, it's the producers giving them
words that are hard to use. - And that's the tea everybody.

- (Austin) I think that was
I don't care by Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran?
(bell rings) - Oh!
- Hey! - Okay.
I got Ed Sheeran. - (FBE) I'll give you a point for that
since he's the primary artist on the song.

I did not get that at all.
- I'm proud of myself for knowing who wrote it.
- Yeah, good job. You did really good!
- I was close to getting full points though,
so that makes me sad, 'cause I missed out on the last one.
- But you did good. You won.
- (FBE) You definitely won. - Oh yeah, oh yeah, you smoked me.
- (FBE) So there were a total of 10 points possible today.
You both got four points! - Whoa!
- Hey! - Nice, nice.

- Wow! - Together we get the max score.

You are the winner! (bell rings)
- Okay man, you got it, no, that's fine.
You deserve to win. Good job.
- Let's get some pizza, baby!
- Damn it, I have to buy pizza now.
- I think they probably did the best they could
with what word was given to them. - That was the thing.
It's definitely a very hard thing to do,
so honestly, props to all the React people...
- Yeah. - ...who did these songs for us.
Thank you for that.
- It was hard to remember what the songs were called.
- Yeah, I really appreciated Austin's effort.
- Austin came in clutch. - He did.
- I also feel like I could sit here
and be like "oh yeah, they coulda done better,"
But then, like if I have to do that. - Oh God.
- In an uncoming episode, I'll be like ♪ Anemone, anemone ♪
♪ Anemone? ♪ (laughs)
- (FBE) Alright, well let's go ahead and put that to the test.
So for your final challenge. - Yeah.
- (FBE) We're gonna make you sing a song using a single word
for our React audience to guess.
We're challenging them to guess which song you're singing,
and whoever correctly comments both the artist and the title
will be entered to win some free React merch.
- Okay, cool, that's awesome.
- (FBE) Do you think you can help the audience out?
- Oh God, I'm so sorry in advance.
