I was visiting Scotland in 1962 when the Beatles were making 
  all kinds of waves.  I saw them on a program (or in 
British - a programme??) called Make It Or Break It, where a 
pile driver was used to smash the loosing record (looked 
like a variation on American Bandstand with construction 
gear thrown in).  Needless to say, the Beatles won.  The 
song?  She Loves You, which everyone on the plane back was 
singing.

Instead of humming, can I at least put in "ONE" and let John 
  & Co. do the singing? :)
