2011 HMMT November General Round Problem 3

Alberto, Bernardo, and Carlos are collectively listening to three different songs. Each is simultaneously listening to exactly two songs, and each song is being listened to by exactly two people. In how many ways can this occur?

Answers are checked by value, so any equivalent form is accepted: 1/2, \frac{1}{2} and 0.5 all count as the same answer.
