The rules

4 steps.

  1. The phone shows a letter. The first player sings a song starting with it.
  2. The group decides whether it counts.
  3. The next player sings a song starting from where that one ended.
  4. Stall, repeat a song, or get rejected, and you are out.

The bit everyone gets wrong

At least a full line has to be sung. Naming a title does not count.

What the phone does

The phone picks the starting letter and runs each turn timer. It cannot hear singing, so the group judges every answer.

It is a dealer and a scorekeeper, never a judge. It cannot hear the room and it does not decide who was right.
