Each of your lines is a part of a program song that we are singing, and I'm hoping the kids can figure out which song has been stolen as you say your line.

> When I feel that they have sung the song to the best of their ability (some of our songs are VERY rusty) I will question you as to whether you feel that you know the song well enough to return it to my program file. If you feel that they had a particular problem in one area please tell us (you might say, well I didn't understand the words in this part, so I'm not ready to give the song back, etc…) and then we will review again. So essentially you are helping decide when you feel that they've done the best they can do. If I think they are getting burned out of this song then I will grant you a fast break where you will be unlocked from the handcuffs, restore the song to my file, and exit out of the gym door where you will give the handcuffs to another suspect. I have three sets of cuffs so they will need to be used more than once.

> 000101~ Sally sour singer was interviewed and when asked if she had a stolen the songs she said she didn't do it. She said "It couldn't have been me I was preparing myself to visit a place of love and beauty it's my sacred duty" As soon as she said that I knew she was guilty. What song did she take? Now we have to sing the song to restore it to the program.
