Indecipherable Lyrics

Indecipherable Lyrics is one of the opening rounds on Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

The teams are shown a clip each containing lyrics that are less than clear. It's then the team's job to work out what the lyrics are. The teams are encouraged to perform their own versions - usually containing quite silly lyrics thrown together - before being asked if they know the real lyrics. Two points if the team is correct, and one point if they are close.

Classic Moments

 * In the first series, Phill Jupitus' team were given Scum, a song by death metal band Napalm Death, which contained what can only be described as shouting non-words. However, Mark revealed there are published lyrics, which led to Phill asking if the lyrics were "I bought a lovely donkey at Widdecombe Fair". Needless to say, Phill's team didn't get any points in this round.
