Cheryl is here and [Ab] we're testing you essentially.
We're doing [E] the lyrics game.
Loads of songs
as we know that everybody knows the words to but does Cheryl [Abm] remember her back catalogue?
Because I imagine [E] soon we'll all [G] want a new Cheryl tour.
So you're going to [Ebm] have to start
remembering these songs.
Okay.
So we're going to go back to 2008.
Fight for this love.
As
[Abm] if that was 10 years ago, by the way.
I know, it's terrifying.
[Eb] Yeah.
I was fighting
[B] Oh, was it?
Yeah, I think so.
Was [Gb] Fight for this [E] love, the red outfit.
Yeah.
As if that was 10 years ago.
[E] Crazy.
That's nuts.
Anyway, we're going to start you off easy.
Surely you remember the lyrics
to this.
It's been two weeks at number one.
Surely you remember the lyrics to [D] this.
[G]
[Bm] Every [Em] [Am]
[G] day ain't [D] gonna be no picnic.
[G]
Love [B] ain't no walk [Em] in the park.
All [B]
you can do is make the best of it.
Now can't be afraid of the dark.
Come [G] on!
Remix!
Love [Bm] ain't no walk [Em] in the [E] park.
That one's easy.
[Am] All [G] you can do is [D] make the best of [G] it.
Now can't be afraid [Em] of the dark.
Just never let your [Am] mind be [G] this thing alone.
Okay, next up, we're going to go to 2009.
Same year, a vintage year.
Now we can't go
[Gb] through your old lyrics without touching on some Girls Aloud tunes.
Okay, we've got some
bangers.
I feel like everyone is familiar with Girls Aloud lyrics.
Okay, we all know
them.
They're a favourite.
We sing them, we go out, we hear them.
You hear them on the
radio, do them at karaoke.
I've gone to a B-side.
In particular, one of your biggest
top 10 tunes, Can't Speak French, was actually recorded
Oh no, they say this is not.
In French.
And you expect me to Why not?
Not the next thing.
French people buy your songs.
French people are probably listening.
You recorded it.
But
can you remember the lyrics to this?
[A] Je parle pas français.
Allons-y, c'est pas franquais.
Usez nos [Ab] faibles mots-prés.
[Db] [Dbm] Je veux que tu me confondes.
[B]
They're not words.
Je parle français.
Don't think of it like that.
I've got not a clue in my head.
No idea.
Of course, it should have sounded like this.
[Db] [Dbm]
[Gbm]
[A]
Wow.
[Ab] I mean
You should have [Abm] remembered that, really, shouldn't you?
I know.
I thought you could forget.
Yeah.
[Ab] Can she remember the lyrics to this?
A, [Dbm] C, A, L, O, V, [Ab] E, Y, O, U, M, S, O, [Db] U, girl.
[B] M, E, T, O, O.
It's obvious I'm so into you, boy.
It was those
You want us to carry on, Pasta?
Yeah, carry on.
I'm so into you, boy.
It's really not the one when you're on the spot.
I do know it.
Yeah.
It doesn't sound like you know it.
I did say it was these three words.
Incorrect.
Yeah.
It's more of the sentence, I think.
Should have sounded like this.
I'm [Ab] so into you, boy.
A, [Dbm] C, A, L, O, V, [Ab] E, Y, O, U, [Abm] M, S, O, U, girl.
She [Eb] said
[A] M, E, T, O, [Dbm] O.
It's obvious I'm so into you, boy.
So why don't we hold on [Ab] for love?
Oh, this is it.
[Dbm] I love this song.
I love this song.
Me and Clara were saying this the other day.
We were into this tune.
And I have really nice memories of recording [Abm] it.
Of this?
Yeah.
Where do you go and record stuff?
Do you have like a [Ab] Sheryl studio?
No.
Or do you go to like Will.i.am?
All different ones.
All different ones.
This one, [Dbm] I was in LA and he was telling the guy, he was actually directing the guy how
to play the guitar and he was telling him to [Abm] strum up and I'd never heard anyone play
the guitar that way before.
I've never heard of a strum [Ab] up.
Strum up.
There you go.
[Abm] There we go.
Sounds great.
Anyway, yeah, me and Clara were saying that the other day.
Yeah, I love that [Db] song.
Good, good that song.
I [E] missed that one.
Okay, [Ab] final one this afternoon for you.
We're going to go way back now, 2002.
Now this is not your song, but this is where it all began.
So we're going right back to Popstar's The Rivals, [G] iconic [B] TV show.
Sound of the Underground.
No.
Please.
No.
Why?
The song that thrust you into the limelight.
Do you remember what your very first audition song was?
No.
[F] You don't know?
[E]
No.
It's not a Girls Aloud song [C] then?
No, when you [Ab] first went for your audition [G] and you were like, do you know what?
I feel like being a massive [E] pop star in the nation, sweetheart.
I don't remember what exactly I [Db] sang, but I remember them saying [Abm] it's Popstar's The
Rivals, not R&B The Rivals.
So it's a pop song.
Right.
And I can't [Ebm] remember [B] which one.
Well, see if you can remember the lyrics from this.
Jerry [Cm] Halliwell, one of the judges, she described [E] you as [Ebm]
absolutely [Eb] gorgeous.
But [B] can you remember the [Gb] lyrics to [N] this?
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking?
Looking down the road you should be [B] taking.
I should know cause I loved and lost the day I let you go.
[N] Yeah!
Have you ever felt your heart [F] was breaking?
Looking down the road [B] you should be taking.
I should know [Db] cause I loved and [G] lost the day I let you go.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, [B] okay.
You can really hear me accent as well.
Oh, [E] I like that.
That [A] sound of that, [C] that's not an odd [Bb] recording.
That's actually Cheryl's heart there.
[Ab] So nervous.
[E] Terrified.
Did you think that when you went for that [G] first audition though, you were like, [Db] you've
got this, it's [Ebm] going to be me for the [Eb] next 15 years.
[E] Did you not think that?
Not at all, no.
What made you go for that audition?
I think I was just in a stage in my life where it was like [Db] now or never.
And it [Abm] was a new thing at the time.
[B] Like, and I [Ebm] always wanted to be rather in a, [B] cause I wanted to be in TLC.
[Eb] I wanted to be in a group rather than be on my own.
They were [Db] like, we're full.
[Abm] They were like, we're full for [Fm] now.
[Abm] Try again next year.
Yeah, so I knew I wanted [Bb] to be in a group rather than on my own.
And that [Ebm] was like the freshest [Eb] approach to it at the time.
And do you remember like that day?
How [Gb] old were you when you went and did that?
[Ab] 18 when I auditioned.
Who went with you to [Ebm] the audition?
Just went on by myself.
You just went on your own?
Yeah.
[N] Mad that.
She's not been on her own ever since has she?
No.
No.

[Db] _ _ _ [Dbm] Je veux que tu me confondes.
_ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ They're not words.
Je parle français. _
Don't think of it like that.
_ _ _ I've got not a clue in my head.
No idea.
Of course, it should have sounded like this.
[Db] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Wow.
[Ab] I mean_
You should have [Abm] remembered that, really, shouldn't you?
I know.
I thought you could forget.
Yeah.
[Ab] Can she remember the lyrics to this? _
A, [Dbm] C, A, L, O, V, [Ab] E, Y, O, U, M, S, O, [Db] U, girl.
_ [B] M, E, T, O, O.
It's obvious I'm so into you, boy. _
_ _ It was those_ _ _
You want us to carry on, Pasta?
Yeah, carry on.
_ I'm so into you, boy.
_ _ _ _ _ It's really not the one when you're on the spot.
I do know it.
Yeah.
It doesn't sound like you know it.
I did say it was these three words. _ _
Incorrect.
Yeah.
It's more of the sentence, I think.
Should have sounded like this.
I'm [Ab] so into you, boy.
A, [Dbm] C, A, L, O, V, [Ab] E, Y, O, U, [Abm] M, S, O, U, girl.
She [Eb] said_
[A] M, E, T, O, [Dbm] O.
It's obvious I'm so into you, boy.
So why don't we hold on [Ab] for _ love?
_ _ Oh, this is it.
[Dbm] I love this song.
I love this song.
Me and Clara were saying this the other day.
We were into this tune.
_ _ And I _ _ have really nice memories of recording [Abm] it.
Of this?
Yeah.
Where do you go and record stuff?
Do you have like a [Ab] Sheryl studio?
No.
Or do you go to like Will.i.am?
All different ones.
All different ones.
This one, [Dbm] I was in LA and he was telling the guy, he was actually directing the guy how
to play the guitar and he was telling him to [Abm] strum up and I'd never heard anyone play
the guitar that way before.
I've never heard of a strum [Ab] up.
Strum up.
There you go.
[Abm] There we go.
Sounds great.
Anyway, yeah, me and Clara were saying that the other day.
Yeah, I love that [Db] song.
Good, good that song.
I [E] missed that one.
Okay, [Ab] final one this afternoon for you.
We're going to go way back now, 2002.
_ Now this is not your song, but this is where it all began.
So we're going right back to Popstar's The Rivals, [G] iconic [B] TV show.
Sound of the Underground.
No.
Please.
No.
Why?
The song that thrust you into the limelight.
Do you remember what your very first audition song was?
No.
[F] You don't know?
[E] _ _
No.
It's not a Girls Aloud song [C] then?
No, when you [Ab] first went for your audition [G] and you were like, do you know what?
I feel like being a massive [E] pop star in the nation, sweetheart.
I don't remember what exactly I [Db] sang, but I remember them saying [Abm] it's Popstar's The
Rivals, not R&B The Rivals.
So it's a pop song.
Right.
And I can't [Ebm] remember [B] which one.
Well, see if you can remember the lyrics from this.
Jerry [Cm] Halliwell, one of the judges, she described [E] you as [Ebm] _
absolutely [Eb] gorgeous.
But [B] can you remember the [Gb] lyrics to [N] this?
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking?
Looking down the road you should be [B] taking.
I should know cause I loved and lost the day I let you go.
[N] Yeah!
_ Have you ever felt your heart [F] was breaking?
Looking down the road [B] you should be taking.
I should know [Db] _ cause I loved and [G] lost the day I let you go.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, [B] okay.
You can really hear me accent as well.
Oh, [E] I like that.
That [A] sound of that, [C] that's not an odd [Bb] recording.
That's actually Cheryl's heart there.
[Ab] So nervous.
[E] Terrified.
Did you think that when you went for that [G] first audition though, you were like, [Db] you've
got this, it's [Ebm] going to be me for the [Eb] next 15 years.
[E] Did you not think that?
Not at all, no.
What made you go for that audition? _
I think I was just in a stage in my life where it was like [Db] now or never.
_ And it [Abm] was a new thing at the time.
[B] Like, and I [Ebm] always wanted to be rather in a, [B] cause I wanted to be in TLC.
_ [Eb] I wanted to be in a group rather than be on my own.
They were [Db] like, we're full.
_ [Abm] They were like, we're full for [Fm] now.
[Abm] Try again next year.
_ Yeah, so I knew I wanted [Bb] to be in a group rather than on my own.
And that [Ebm] was like the freshest [Eb] approach to it at the time.
And do you remember like that day?
How [Gb] old were you when you went and did that? _
[Ab] 18 when I auditioned.
Who went with you to [Ebm] the audition? _
Just went on by myself.
You just went on your own?
Yeah.
[N] Mad that.
She's not been on her own ever since has she?
No.
No. _ _ _ _
