As I understand it (and as the OP says), the game is to use a word _from the song title_ to name your own song and band – I think this bears clarification, since it’s at least the second time I’ve seen someone use a word from the _artist’s_ name. If the OP decides that the artist is fair game, feel free to ignore this post. 🙂 [QUOTE=Oakminster] _ **Love** The One You’re With_ —Crosby, Still, Nash, and that guy I don’t need around, anyhow.
