Yours For A Song

1 9 6 1 – 1 9 6 3 (USA)
30 minute episodes

This ABC game show featured lyrics to popular songs – with certain words omitted – flashed on a screen for two competing players. The player who was first to buzz had a chance to fill in the missing words, receiving twenty dollars for each word identified correctly.

The highest scorers received their earnings in cash. Broad clues were provided by host Bert Parks and the studio audience joined in sing-a-longs of chorus segments.

Both daytime and evening versions of the show were broadcast.
