There must be _billions_ of song titles consisting of three words with one syllable each.

So I name a singer or group, the next poster gives the three words with one syllable each title of a song that they sing like George Harrison & “My Sweet Lord.” Then give another group or singer for the next poster.

To Start: The Beatles.
