Need a Friday Stumper? What ties these three songs together?
"Get Back" by The Beatles
"Take It Easy" by The Eagles
"Rockin' Me" by The Steve Miller Band

If you want, you can post your answer in white so as not to spoil things for others who come after.
Use the HTML code <font color="white"> in brackets instead of the pointy things and type your answer.

Good luck. No donor stars on the line this time, just a little pop music braggin' rights.

3. Well, that wouldn't "tie them together" now, would it?
Maybe I'm too subtle.

5. Yup
But even better:

They mention the town names and the state of Arizona, which strikes me as noteworthy. Any one of them could have used "Denver, Colorado" (for example) for the same number of syllables, but each of them use Arizona.

6. I don't know the word for it...some English major would know
But having the word begin and end with the same vowel, it's pleasing to the ear. Arizona, Ohio, Uhuru.

7. They're all willing, participatory slaves to the oppressive Western harmonic hegemony
