if the song has been sung by a group which is a trio, but doesn't actually have "trio" in their name, does that count?)

Sure, Val, every group with 3 members counts.

Here is a song by Three Days Grace called Pain.

Right, Geoff! I trust the Seasonistas don't go near that number this week.

Aw, man. In that case I have a song that meets all 3 criteria. It's a simple one so I should get it recorded tomorrow.

Geoff - that multiple was my conduit to the song Devil with the Blue Dress!!!!

I found out, there are some nice international children's songs, where the number three figures, so I'm planning to do some of them for this season.
I'm going to start with the German "Drei Chinesen mit dem Kontrabass"(Three Chinese people with the double bass).
You first sing one verse with all the vowels as they are, and then each verse using the same vowel for each syllabe.
Dro Chonoson mot dem Kontroboss, Tra Chanasan mat dam Kantrabass...

Would multiples of 3 be acceptable? For example ‘I Want Your Six’ by the late, great George Michael.

kolibri said:
Yes, good idea. Six or twelve would be ok, but 9 or 33 would be even better.

Here's a Paul McCartney song with three chords. I used three instruments, two ukes and a shaker.

What's 667?

The neighbour of the beast :smileybounce:

[Though actually, recent research suggests that the actual number of the beast is 616. 666 seems to have been a mistranslation.
Independent.co.uk: Revelation! 666 is not the number of the beast (it's a devilish 616)]

I'm coming firing out of the gate with a 33 just for you Ylle! 3 is my favorite number. This is off David Allan Coe's debut album in 1969, so 969 there, and it has three chords!

Here's a Jimmy C. Newman song, written by Tom T. Hall, from the late 60's. In my opinion this should be in the running for one of the saddest songs in the whole world. I did this one awhile back also.

My birth date contains 666 (16.12.66).............blimey that explains the horn !!

This is a song from my childhood growing up in the USA.
I also sang it to my daughter back when we had three in our family.
Anyone who watched Saturday morning cartoons on television as a kid got a gentle education from this song and many others written by Bob Dorough (RIP.)
A most beautiful song about the magic number three.

Here is a link to more Schoolhouse Rock! songs written by Bob Dorough:

It's got to be done, and I couldn't see anyone else's version before I started on it.

I'll be gone for the rest of the week. "Three-Minute Positive Not-Too-Country Up-Tempo Love Song."

Here's a song written in 1958 by Lieber and Stoller and first recorded by the Coasters.

I came across an article some time ago that suggested 666 was a mistranslation, though I think it will be difficult to change people's views now.

Anyway, back to threes.

Peter, Paul and Mary were an early influence of mine. Like many revival folk groups they sang a mixture of traditional and recently composed songs. This one is traditional. In their recording they left out the last verse. Like many (but not all, let me stress) American traditional songs this one likely came originally from the British Isles.
I sing this song regularly.

333-1

This has a few numbers in the title but a three is among them.

DelGriff · Jul 1, 2018

This qualifies on 3 counts:
1. 66=22x3
2. It only uses 3 chords (C, F and G7 if you want to play along)
3. It’s based on the little known Depeche Mode version (B-side of the single ‘Behind The Wheel’) and Depeche Mode have sometimes had only 3 members during their 30+ year history (and still going strong AFAIK).

Edit: Just watched this back - still sorely lacking in the charisma department - sorry folks!
