The song that netted Elton's first and currently only Oscar and served as a bit of a comeback for him.
Seven missing words and $200,000 on the line here.
There's a calm surrender to the rush of day
When the heat of a rolling wind can be turned away
An enchanted moment, and it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight?
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____
Fill them in if you can.

Alright. If you're right, you get $200,000. If not, you leave with $100,000. Is he right?

I love that movie. This time, you have eight words to fill in for $350,000.
Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
What we'll see will defy explanation
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it

Alright, he's taking $200,000, folks! (applause) What were the right words?
Come with me and you'll be

WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD THERE'S NOTHING TO IT
"WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD THERE'S NOTHING TO IT" were the words. Matt, you have $200,000. I hope you had fun.

And you are absolutely right, Greg. I was gonna correct myself, but jman had already replied.
Regardless, jman, you have just one missing word and $2,500 to shoot for.
She's blood, flesh and bones
No tucks or silicone
She's touch smell sight taste and sound
But somehow I can't believe that anything should happen
I know we're right where I belong and nothing's gonna happen, yeah
Cause she's so high
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or ____
You should have no problem.

I assume you'll be locking that in since you are very confident. Are you right?

I know we're right where I belong and nothing's gonna happen, yeah
Cause she's so high
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or APHRODITE
Correct! (cheers) $2,500 for you. Simple as that.

A great movie, that one is. Two missing words and $5,000 on the line.
I was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt.
I was unrecognizable to myself.
Saw my reflection in a window and didn't know my own face.
Oh brother are you gonna leave me wastin' away
On the streets of Philadelphia.
I walked the avenue, 'til my legs felt like stone,
I heard the voices of friends, vanished and gone,
At night I could hear the blood in my veins,
It was just as black and whispering as the rain,
On the streets of Philadelphia.
Ain't no angel gonna greet me.
It's just you and I ____ ____
What's your guess?
