Sang a song or the song

Hi. Please help. Which is correct. I think both are correct. Let's say "XXX" represents the name of a certain song.

1. He sang the song called "XXX" yesterday.
2. He sang a song called "XXX" yesterday.

Both are corect, #1 suggests the speaker thinks the listener knows of the song. More common and more natural is He sang "***" yesterday.
