German cabaret song - Episode 3-26
Song Styles is a game in which one performer makes up a song about an audience member or celebrity guest or about an audience-suggested subject. The performer is given a specific style or artist to emulate. Sometimes, the other performers (and on a couple occasions, current US host Aisha Tyler) provide backup vocals or dancing. In early playings, two performers would each be given different songs to sing.

Variations
Variations on the basic game include:
- "Duet", which features two performers. The American version featured a one-time variant called "Ballad of", which was done in the form of a country music ballad.
- "African Chant", in which the three other performers back Wayne Brady in the style of an African chant.
- "Boogie Woogie Sisters", in which three performers sing in the style of a 1940s Boogie-woogie group.
- "Doo-wop", in which three performers sing in the style of a doo-wop group. The song is typically an elegy for someone who died in an audience-suggested freak accident.
- "Motown Group", in which three performers sing in the style of a Motown group.
