Gimme an "F", gimme a "U", gimme songs that spell stuff

For some people, you just gotta spell it out. Even in song:

“Method of Modern Love” - Hall & Oates
“D-I-V-O-R-C-E” - Tammy Wynette
“SOS” - ABBA (the only palindrome group to have a palindrome song in the Top 40)
“R.O.C.K. in the USA” - John Mellon Cougarcamp
“ABC” - The Jackson 5ive
“Respect” - Arethea Franklin
“YMCA” - The Village People
“Bingo” - traditonal
“Gloria” - Van Morrison
“Oscar Meyer” jingle
“Saturday Night” - The Bay City Rollers

The song in your title is…“I Feel like I’m fixing to die rag” by Country Joe and the Fish.

Megadeth, “Hook in Mouth”:

F is for fighting, R is for red,
ancestors’ blood in battles they’ve shed.
E, we elect them, E, we eject them,
in the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
D, for your dying, O, your overture,
M, they will cover your grave with manure.
This spells out Freedom, it means nothing to me,
As long as there’s a P.M.R.C.

Forgive me, I love contrived metal lyrics.

“D-I-S-C-O” - although I’ve no idea who sang it :stuck_out_tongue:

How about phone numbers?

867-5309
PEnnsylvania6-5000

Mickey - Toni Basil

Scratch my first post. I meant the Mickey Mouse song.

L-O-V-E (Nat King Cole)

I Stand Accused (Elvis Costello)

I’m a Man (Muddy Waters)
I’m a Woman (Peggy Lee)

Muddy Waters:
I’m a man
Spell, M-A chile, N
That’ll well within’ man
No, B.O. child Y
That mean mannish boy


M is for the many things she gave me
O is only that she’s growing old
… (okay, I can’t remember the rest, but)…
Put them all together, they spell MOTHER
A word that mean the world to me.

Sorry, that should be Bo Diddley, not Muddy. :smack:

Also, Lola by the Kinks.

Going WAY back in time here - VACATION by Connie Francis

and Mr BlueSky don’t forget the Shadows of Knight also had a rendition of “Gloria”. (Yeah same song but I like their rendition better).

Girlfriend by Jonathan Richman:

That’s a girlfriend,
I said G-I-R-L-F-R-E-N

:cool:

Add “Yoda” by Weird Al
“I’ve Got a Gal in Kalamazoo”-Glenn Miller

“L is for the way you look at me… O is for the only one I see…”

No clue who sang it. I saw it on an episode of Full House once. :smiley:

“Your Dictionary” by XTC (“F - U - C - K, is that how you spelt me in your dictionary?”)

“Your Dictionary” – XTC. In which Andy Partridge spells out several words describing his ex-marriage and the ways his ex-wife maligned him. Not easy listening.

“T—I—E, because we’re both XTC fans?” :wink:

“F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E.” – Pulp
