Hi, You could say all three, but a tune has always been a very common term. However, I think the language may be changing. I've heard several young people refer to a tune as a song, although it had no words.

Thank you Clive.

If I like the non-lyric part of a song and don't care for the lyrics. And I say: I like the music of the song. Would people understand what I mean? Thanks.
