Best possible setlist in which all songs have the same name?

In discussion about our bands potential setlist, we found we have a couple of songs with the same name.
It got me thinking, how good a setlist can you come up with where all the songs have the same name?
We sometimes do 30 min slots at charity events for a wide range of people.
It would be hilarious if we could play 5 songs that are generally pretty wide appeal and all have the same name. For example, 'that song was 'One', hope you enjoyed it folks. Now we will be playing 'One'.. etc :roflmao:
There is a One by metallica, U2, Ed sheeran, shapeshifter, esperenza spalding - that would be a pretty strange set, but please let me know your ideas!!

Thanks

One - A Chorus Line
One - Alanis Morissette
One - Bee Gees
One - Bustah Rhymes
One - Creed
One - Ed Sheeran
One - Esperanza Spalding
One - Ghostface Killah
One - Metallica
One - Ringo Starr
One - Shapeshifter
One - Sky Ferreira
One - Three Dog Night
One - U2

It's not exhaustive, but it's at least interesting.

Now I'm off to make a setlist consisting entirely of songs named "Two"...

Best thing about playing Ned's version of "Happy" is you need another bass player. Count me in, if NZ isn't too far from England (oh, hang on... well, I'm in Spain now -getting there). Dio-era Rainbow can add another (Long Live) Rock and Roll and back to Richland's "Superstar", wasn't there some awful "answer" record to Bille Jean called Superstar done by some female I can't remember? Would clear the floor like an eggy guff, though.

Top work again, Richland. I'd finish that "Time" set with Cyndi Lauper (gedditt!?!). I would've "liked" your effort to find Lydia Murdock after all those years, except I ended up listening to some of it again. Blimey, I thought that fat bloke in the original video who did "Papa wants the best for you" as an answer-single to Madonna was bad but I'd forgotten just how shameless "Superstar" was. Now here's an idea... and it's a tough one. How about a setlist made up entirely of "answer" songs. I've come up with two but I can't think of any more off the cranium. Maybe those two strangled the genre at birth - both early-mid 80s songs.
Found the unsung (unsingable?) genius that is Danny Aiello. Good old Youtube. Come on people - "Answer songs covers band. Answer song covers band. Answer song covers band!"
 
Well done again, Richland. I suggest the "Time" set be finished off with Cyndi Lauper (Gedditt!?!). I tried to 'unlike' you for reacquainting me with Lydia Murdock's awful "answer song". Then I remembered the fat bloke in Papa Don't Preach did one. Good old Youtube delivers (it is spectacularly awful), which got me thinking. Tricky research but how about a set of these things. C'mon everyone, "Answer song covers band, answer song covers band, answer song covers band!"

There are lots of answer, response, reply, and even sequel songs. You should start a separate thread for them.
