Interesting. Can you trace the original quote on the three words ? I have never seen that. But she truly had a long list of three words (or less) song titles.

The reason why Into The Groove is called that and not *get* is because at the time she said that song titles should be no longer than 3 words. She was superstitious. You can see all of her early hits had 3 or less words in the title.
