HAHAHAHAHAHA. All due respect to MMM, who I like, this thread title in this forum gladdened my mean little heart this morning. Thanks for the belly laugh.

I’m just posting songs off my playlist that don’t fit into the other categories. [Like this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqcYOmNNs5o).

Since this IS the pit, and I got moderator-pilloried for suggesting that the whole concept might be a bit silly…

How about songs starting with a completely non-phonetic symbol (like Prince’s erstwhile moniker)?

It’s silent, of course. I just wrote a song called ‘\_\_\_\_’ to illustrate the point.  
As Alan Jackson said in ‘Talking song repair blues’: " It may be a hit. I like it!".

As I saw the way the alphabet threads were going, my first thought was Dr. Seuss’ _On Beyond Zebra!_

[![](https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1617038684i/31092519._SX540_.jpg) ](https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1617038684i/31092519._SX540_.jpg)

Until I started writing this very post, I had assumed that there were no Unicode assignments for yuzz, glikk, wum, etc., but I thought, “I had better check first, or some smug Doper is going to prove me wrong.”

And although there are actually no _official_ Unicodes for Suess’ extra 20 letters, the book’s Wikipedia page points out that…

[\>… the independent ConScript Unicode Registry provides an unofficial assignment of code points in the Unicode Private Use Area for them.[3]](https://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/seuss.html)

And of course once we get started on Unicode, it will probably never end?

I think the well is dry, and I’m guessing the polls are going up any minute now.

Can I maybe get an extra entry in the **Σ** thread?
