Actually, two words at maximum. 'The' is not a word.
Articles (a/an/the) shouldn't count as words here (although it's been used several times in the thread already - besides it's just way too easy to come up with song names that have 'the' in them) and neither should pronouns. They are not technically words.

"The" is an article, and so is a word

The rule in this game is clear: only use one word from the song above. Articles, nons, verbs are the same thing here, they are all words.

hmm ok well, i talked about this with native english speakers and they said 'the' shouldn't count as a word in this kind of games.

anyway, it's not about whether it's a real word or not. i was mainly thinking that it's just pretty boring if we start to link lots of song names with 'the' in them because it's so damn easy to find such song names. one doesn't need to use any imagination/inventivess.
so, to avoid it in the future, how about we have a rule that one cannot use the same word as a link twice in a row (unless it cannot be avoided, for instance with one-word song names)? it would keep the links more interesting.

Sure, "the" is a word — but really all too common of one.

I had been meaning to suggest that we adjust the rules to exclude articles (a, an, the), pronouns (he, she, you, they, we, etc.), and prepositions (of, from, through, with, about, like, etc.) 

And the same would go for other languages, of course.  ;)

It would keep the game a lot more interesting. Indeed, if "the" were allowed, things could continue indefinitely using this one word as there are literally thousands (millions?) of songs with this word in the title. That wouldn't be much fun.

The game can still continue successfully (with much more of a challenge) if we discourage the use of such words!

After reading the suggestions here, I changed some of the game rules.

Participants of this topic, please take a moment to read the new rules
