The Lyrics Board was an Irish game show hosted by Aonghus McAnally and then by Eurovision Song Contest 1992 winner Linda Martin. In each episode there are two teams. Each team consists of a piano player/team captain who is joined by two celebrities/singers, at either side. A team would choose a number from "the board", which had 4 to 6 numbers to choose from, revealing a word. The team would then have to sing, and play on the piano, a song with that related word to remain in charge of 'the board'. However, up to two numbers would reveal a "skip", a very common word such as "a" or "the", which if revealed would result in loss of control of the board. If the team sing the secret song whose lyrics is on the board, then this team would win a point, with the team with the most points declared as the winners.
Team captains on the show included former Eurovision winner Paul Harrington, Kyron & The Strangels frontman Kyron Bourke, You're A Star Musical Director Ronan Johnston and Jim Sheridan, keyboard player with the Camembert Quartet. 26 different versions have been produced worldwide.
The format was revamped for the 2011–2012 season by RTÉ for its TRTÉ strand. The new version of the format was called Sing! and was presented by former Pop Idol contestant Brian Ormond with former Six member Emma O'Driscoll and Royseven frontman Paul Walsh acting as team captains.
All programmes of it online were made available on RTE Player Christmas 2021 to celebrate 60 years of television.
By 2024, Norway is the only country that still produces their version of the show. The station NRK has bought the rights to the show, and does now own the concept.
