Censored Song
Panelists, in teams of two, are given perfectly innocuous songs; the objective is to make the song as suggestive as possible by the strategic censoring (via a buzzer) of innocent words. For example, "I Whistle a Happy Tune" was censored to become "Whenever I feel a / I hold my erect / And whistle a happy tune / so no one will suspect I'm a". Sometimes the game is played by having one team sing the song and the other buzz; alternatively, the teams are given the original recording to buzz.
Extreme examples include Barry and Graeme's rendition of "My Favourite Things" (" and and and , / and and and , / , tied up with strings: / these are a few of my favourite things"), "All Through the Night" (all words buzzed out except for "All through the night") and "Walking in the Air" from The Snowman (many instances of "I'm ing...").
The game may be based on a recurring sketch from I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again in which songs by Rolf Harris (March 22, 1970 episode), Tom Jones (April 5, 1970 episode), and Julie Andrews (April 26, 1970 episode) were "censored" (for example, "Two little boys had two little , each had a wooden ").
