spelling songs January 07, 2006 at 08:27 PM UTC #
There may be an obvious answer to this question, but are there any songs that deal with spelling?

That really dumb-ass and insipid banana song by Gwen Steffani.

Aretha Franklin's "Respect".

There's some song about a guy named Johnny that spells out something that I haven't fully been able to figure out due to it's heavy English and Punkish stylings. I'll have to ask that Dodgy Slapper guy what it is as I can't remember right now.

Of course, I'm not really sure that I understand your question.

Big Bird!

ABC-DEF-GHI-JKL-MNOP-QRSTUV-WXYZ
It's the most remarkable word I've ever seen
ABC-DEF-GHI-JKL-MNOP-QRSTUV-WXYZ
I wish I knew exactly what I mean
It starts out like an "A" word as anyone can see
But somewhere in the middle it gets awful "QR" to me
ABC-DEF-GHI-JKL-MNOP-QRSTUV-WXYZ
If I ever find out just what this word can mean
I'll be the smartest bird the world has ever seen!

There has to be one on the CD for the songs from the whole Schoolhouse Rocks! series.
