Songs that spell out a word(s)

I can only think of V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N by Connie Francis, and Saturday Night by The Bay City Rollers. Are there more?

 

B-A-B-Y by Carla Thomas (and Rachel Sweet )

 

D-I-V-O-R-C-E by Tammy Wynette.

 

G L O R I A

 

Respect by Aretha and Otis
I'm a MAN

 

Ahem, Y-M-C-A by the VP.
D-I-S-C-O - Ottawan.
G-L-A-D - one of those Stock Aitken Waterman 'artistes'.
C-H-I-C-K-E-N - Van Dyke Parks.

 

Brian J beat me to it!

 

And on a twist, If You See Kay.

Brian

 

S-a-t-u-r, D-a-y....night!

 

T-R-O-U-B-L-E by Elvis

 

The lyrics don't include the spelling out of the word.

 

"I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo" (and I used to!)

 

Here's a weird twist---

The Peppermint Rainbow (we're already getting obscure) did a song called Rosemary. Each of the song's lyrics begins with the next letter.

For instance:

Run inside my life and hide
Ou there, somewhere
See...

You get the idea.

 

"S-P-A-M-P-I-N-A-T-O, Spampinato" from "Spampinato" by NRBQ--written after the band got tired of seeing Joey's name mispelled in articles and reviews.

Also "Ragg Mopp!" which got redone by Allan Sherman as "Ratt Fink!"

 

I'm talking about "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" not "Trouble" (or am I completely missing something??)

 

K-A-L-A-M-A-Z-O-O

One of Glen Miller's finest moments.

Apologies to Capt. Cadillac. I missed your post, which was first.

 

I was obviously missing something. Sorry.

 

"R-O-C-K in the U.S.A." by John Cougar Mellencamp?
Well, it's half spelled out...heh

 

Anyone remember the S.N.L. Gilda Radner skit where she played aging singer Patty Caldwell? She had a song called "F-U-L-L-F-I-L-L-M-E-N-T" on her album "Stretch Marks". If you see it, it's pretty dang funny.

 

L-O-L-A LOLA - The Kinks

 

L-O-V-E - Nat King Cole

M-E-T-H-O-D-O-F-L-O-V-E (Method Of Modern Love - Hall & Oates)

U-G-L-Y (You Ain't Got No Alibi - You UGLY) - Daphne & Celeste

I-S-T-A-N-D-A-C-C-U-S-E-D (I Stand Accused - Elvis Costello)

 

F.E.E.L.I.N.G. C.A.L.L.E.D. L.O.V.E. -- Pulp

 

"I'm Henry VIII, I Am" by Herman's Hermits: "H! E! N-R-Y!"
"Give Him a Great Big Kiss" by the Shangri-Las: "I'm in love L-U-V" (OK, it's misspelled)
"Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani: "My (bleep) ain't bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S"
The "Mickey Mouse Club Theme" (both opening and closing versions): "M-I-C, K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E"
"L-O-V-E (Love)" by Al Green

On a slightly different vein, there's "C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S," first popularized by Eddy Arnold in 1949. Each letter in the word stands for a different facet of the holiday, kind of like "L-O-V-E" by Nat King Cole in that regard.

 

W O R D up - Cameo

 

"I'm a Woman" (lots of artists have recorded this):

"'Cause I'm a woman, W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again"




"Cadillac" (Bo Diddley, remade by The Kinks and others):

"C-A-D-I-L-L-A-C"



Does spelling out an abbreviation count? If so...

"Tallahassee Lassie" (Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon):

"'Cause she's my Tallahassee Lassie, way down in F-L-A"
