This reminded me something you might find fascinating. We grew up playing a similar game in India. It's Antakshari[0] and it means "The game of the ending letter". There was even a popular game show for over 10 years in the 2000s on Indian TV.
I'm gonna give an English example, but in a tonal language like Hindi, Mandarin, Thai, it would make "more" sense. Players have to sign a song that starts with the same tone as the previous song ended on.The game starts with a couplet to initiate the game and since the last word of the couplet ends with an m, the first song starts with that. And yeah, only Indian/Bollywood songs are allowed but I'm gonna break that rule to make an example. Taking tones don't really make sense in English so I'll use the last word.
Player one might sing "Mamma mia, here I go again. My my, how can I resist you", and the next goes with "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, You make me happy when skies are gray." and then the next starts with gray. The person who can't find a song is out of the game, and you can't repeat songs.

Nice one! I built something similar [1]. It has you type in the name of the actual song and artist and the game compares it to a database of lyrics. The goal is to find as many songs as possible that contain a given word (or one of its derivatives) within one minute. Getting actual lyrics was the hardest part, so not all songs are in there.

I played this as a camp game when I was younger. You formed teams and just had to sing a song with a generic word like "love". Cute

I saw a real time multiplayer comedy open mic night game. I felt the premise was just fantastic even if it’s a moderation atom bomb.
That and this are clever ideas.
