Blake Shelton loses game by failing to guess Gwen Stefani lyrics
The country star did not identify 'Hollaback Girl' quickly enough
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Blake Shelton may need to brush up on his wife Gwen Stefani's discography.
Shelton, 45, made an appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" recently and filmed a segment in which he paired up with his fellow "The Voice" alum Nick Jonas to play against Kelly Clarkson and John Legend for a game called "Throw Me a Line."
For the game, a disembodied voice would say a line from the middle of a popular song and the singers would have to buzz in and sing the title of the song.

The tables seemed to turn when Jonas successfully recognized "ABC" by the Jackson 5 and Shelton correctly named "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins.

The country crooner was unable to beat Clarkson to the buzzer, allowing the talk show hostess to win the game when she correctly named the song.
"Hollaback Girl" is arguably one of Stefani's more famous songs, though the two have mentioned in interviews that they weren't overly familiar with one another's music before striking up a romance. They have now recorded a number of songs together.
