INSPIRATION
This project is inspired by one of my favorite games on the Jimmy Fallon Show ~ Can you finish the lyric? I also play a big part as an inspiration in this game: A girl who loves singing but never knows the right lyrics and enjoys confidently singing wrong lyrics cause who cares? It's fun!
