...and you are forced to recite a song word for word. If you do it to perfection, you're free to go. If you get one word wrong, the trigger is pulled. What song do you choose to save yourself?

I'm picking the alphabet song.

"Blitzkrieg Bop" I know off by heart, so I'll go with that.

So many of the lyrics are mumbled that you might get away with saying "hitskri baw".

You're right.

"twinkle twinkle little star" ... And, I will make sure the gunman seeing stars, by hitting him in the face.

He's got the gun. It has to be a fatal blow.

[–] zeesha (1826) 6 years ago

A knockout blow is enough. It's not clear what would happen when "the trigger is pulled" -- maybe it's just a prank.

Same tune of the Alphabet Song and Baa Baa Black Sheep. Oh wait. We're not singing, we're reciting.

"I'm So Sad, So Very, Very Sad" by Crash and the Boys (you can find it on the "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" soundtrack, which brings a movie-flavor to the answer for the MovieChat Forum).

The song is literally five seconds long and has but one lyric: "So sad."

After all, the gunman just said recite a song... he didn't set any minimum requirements!

[–] samoanjoes (58613) 6 years ago

But he could shoot you for trying to pull a fast one on him.

I didn't make the rules... I just interpreted them! LOL

Jingle Bells... the Batman version.

Can I pick an instrumental? Otherwise I’m dead. How about Tequila by the Champs?

[–] samoanjoes (58613) 6 years ago

Tequila works. But you have to say it the exact number of times as it's said in the song without looking online or hearing it in advance.
