Song Uno: From here to Eternity

If - Bread

The Russian Judge reminds us, "According to the rules: the word "if" shouldn't be used as the main play word: '...steer clear of using words like, THE, OF, IF, AND, etc. as the main word being played. Although they can be used as bonus words they shouldn't be used as the main word'."

Understanding that the russian language is way more flowery and ornate than english, how then would a title like "if" from bread ever be played? are we excluding it because of the word? it is a full title...

Anyway...

The Russian Judge says, "While that may seem to present a bit of a conundrum, the rules are the rules and according to those rules that title is one that is, unfortunately, not eligible for play."

I could list a whole bunch of songs that would never get played based on the rules of this game. Which is fine.

Correct title. :cool:
