How to remember

The kanji 歌 depicts two mouths (口口) at the top, and a person with an open mouth (欠) at the bottom, suggesting people singing or a chorus.
'KA' — like 'KAraoke' where you sing many 'songs'.
Imagine two square mouths singing a duet, and a person below with a third open mouth, listening or joining in the song.
