Lionel Richie's Top Ten Rejected Song Lyrics | Letterman

[@pauld205]

Lionel nailed it, and dave clearly loved it. So did the audience

[@JSSBBB]

Lionel is a music legend and a wonderful human being. We are lucky to have him in our lives.

[@TheLadsBandLive]

This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Lionel Richie could sing the phonebook.

[@ahveekhy]

Absolutely

[@hinthegroove9740]

This makes today worth it.

[@steved.9645]

You always know when its a great Top Ten - Dave just loves them.

[@ArtificialBanana]

The debt ceiling is a perennial hit!

[@Tommyr]

It's VERY timely!

[@Atari5732]

Top ten of the Top ten list!

[@PilotsWorld]

Agreed.

[@CaesarDarias]

He totally committed. So good. Very funny.

[@jekyllynch6168]

Lionel looks great!

[@deidragreer2691]

Yes he does!😊

[@KentAJDK]

Best top teen ever 😊 love you Lionel ❤

[@bsquared4604]

He's a legend. This was a real get.

[@Chuckson56]

This was brilliant and Lionel to go along with it was awesome.

[@jmyramila]

That's what I thought...what a good sport! I love it! Hahaha

[@robwinder4218]

Olive Garden REALLY dropped the ball by not having Lionel sing "Endless Breadsticks" in a commercial.

[@pcs56]

I thought the same thing! LOL!

[@video2000ification]

I remember when this aired. It was SOOOO legendary

[@chr970]

Top Ten “should have been” lyrics. They were all good, and the audience loved it. Lionel singing them of course seals it .

[@tomhamby118]

Classic Dave! I miss it so much.

[@sunflower1129]

I think Dave blushed during the Judge Judy one.

[@MIKERUPTION]

That was great all around! Give Lionel credit for being a good sport and nailing it.

[@user-hm5zb1qn6g]

No. 10 alone makes for a killer Top 10.

[@pendesign7086]

If this were a cd i would totally buy it 😅

[@deidragreer2691]

Me too!😂😂😂😂

[@sammylangford8858]

That was great I loved it❤

[@stevenpinkerton777]

Could be the best Top 10 ever!

[@Wolfie66]

Lionel could sing the phone book and it would sound amazing!

[@Wolfie66]

@@geetarman Indeed! LOL!

[@rollotomassi6374]

This is as smooth as it gets…..BRAVO !!!

[@christopherstone76]

The best top ten list ever!

[@5454randy]

Hilariously brilliant!

[@stebstebanesier6205]

I wish Dave could give us his Top 10 Top 10 list.

[@thefrontpage]

This is seven minutes long, and it's funnier than any selected seven minutes from late night television in the past seven years.

[@random22026]

Easily, EASILY, my all-time, ALL-TIME Fave-Rave Dave Top 10 Countdown. Missed 'Once, Twice, Three Times a Lady' though! 😂😎😎

[@marktatum2592]

Way to go Dave. 👏

[@TimothyATaylor]

Judge Judy!

[@Brian-uy2tj]

It is really amazing how many top flight stars came on Letterman and got down in the comedy mud and rolled around for laughs. This was great, Barry white was another who was terrific.

[@garysmith9858]

One of the greats and Lionel has a beautiful house on a golf course.

[@oceanwoods]

Cultural gold!

[@rayopeongo]

If I recall correctly, one of the top tens was ‘thoughts before jumping out of a helicopter’. One of them was “Wait, what? We’re jumping out?” or something similar. I would love to see that one again.

[@deidragreer2691]

I love this!😂😂😂😂

[@bossfan49]

Could have made a Top 20 with all this brother's great songs!

[@wilkiedriver]

Good grief, the audience really can't help themselves clapping along.

[@NHRebelsthoughts]

Iconic

[@JoeyIndolos]

LOL at Letterman wondering what was wrong with the lyrics. I’m sure they might have looked lame when the scriptwriters put them on paper, but it was a different thing altogether when Richie sang them 😄

[@Ricanfrom860]

That was brilliant 😂

[@loginregional]

I do not use this word lightly: *EPIC*

[@realandrewhatfield]

Classic!

[@andreaskohaus9909]

Wow!

[@mhmrules]

He had a dream. He had an AWESOME dream.

[@landyachtfan79]

"Top 10's in the park................"

[@yardarm5]

Omg that’s the talent combined in clusive 😂

[@cablecoshow]

Looks like someone searched Don's database for "debt ceiling."

[@johnrinck4883]

"Beach House" seriously needs to be recorded!

[@christophers.1517]

Legend!

[@mysharyna1741]

OMG...It's my uncle Lionel from my cassette deck...IYKYK

[@rha101]

#7!😃

[@MyDupois]

Great!

[@robbernath]

Let us know when the album is available for download. 👏

[@marred2277]

Anybody else see this pop up and immediately go check to see if he died?

[@DaneOrschlovsky]

RIP to his vocal chords

[@pendesign7086]

Oh my gosh we do that too 😂

[@DaneOrschlovsky]

@@pendesign7086 this channel is notorious, it's a natural reaction to do so 🤣

[@slc2466]

I know it's another song, but everything is awesome here.

[@ludovik14]

Literally LOL

[@Checkmate1954]

It's once, twice, 10 rejected song lyrics later.

[@inrainbowman]

RIP 😢😮

[@JamesPlatt88]

HE IS ALIVE

[@Vidiot25]

Remarkable😂

[@holton345]

Judge Judy broke Dave up.

[@JustMe327]

Mr. Sail ⛵on, Mr. All night 🌃 long. 😂

[@Brian-uy2tj]

To this day Lionel still runs all of his new songs past Dave and Paul to get their approval before putting out any new songs.

[@zenseed75]

OMG 😹😹

[@ruthecker399]

love dave

[@ahveekhy]

Too funny! 🤣

[@TFinSF]

One of Paul's better jackets!

[@BigDust200]

[@djdentertainment7127]

How did the old West sheriff Who told a citizen he had a few minutes to " Leave My town now", Or he would be arrested and his car would be towed. All for Being parked legally on a city street.

[@joshuabrooks4907]

How funny.

[@paulbalares2307]

For #5, I hope Lionel doesn't get a tattoo that spells "LOINEL", just saying.

[@ceciliarauth9481]
