Another Simple Dave Fun Quiz
I should be writing--and I am; milestone coming soon--but I can't resist posting this for some reason.
Yesterday I was listening to a particular Greatest Hits CD, and I noticed that this performer-or-band had an interesting quality: The performer-or-band's name, as well as three of the tracks on the album, consisted of only two or three letters, often repeated many times. [Hint: One of the songs was NOT "I Me Mine" (4 letters) or "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm," (1 letter) even though both titles have a similarly small number of letters in them.]
What performer-or-band, and which songs, was I listening to?

I guessed ABBA, but had to look up the album to confirm that it fits. Songs are "SOS", "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do", and "Mamma Mia". Neat!
Off the top of my head: Abba; "S.O.S.; "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do", and "Mamma Mia"?
I know I know I know
(I think but I'll wait in case someone else knows)
Nicely done, all! I bought the album on an impulse buy at a drug store, and had never noticed how crystalline-perfect their pop song contstruction tended to be. So I looked them up on All Music Guide and discovered the album I think I'm going to buy next--Souper Trouper--contains two more letter-bank songs: "Andante Andante" and "On and On and On." There could be a whole puzzle cycle here.
