Spelling in songs?
It is
D - so Didactic,
really
I - an Inspiration,
good for
S - Study Sessions
just like
C - extra Classes
it is
O - o - oooooh - no, you’re right. It sucks.
M-E-T-H-O-D O-F L-O-V-E…It’s a method of modern love…

Which, as a snack, are T- to the-A-to the-S-T-Y, tasty.

Actually, in the song you refer to, they misspell tasty with t-to the-a-to the s-t-e-y. :smack: No wonder nobody can spell anymore.

It’s easier if you spell it out.

Has someone been playing Fergalicious too often?

I.e., once or more?
I hear that vile squirt of acoustic diarrhea every time I go to my gym. I’m not violent by nature, but when I hear the intro to it I want to start heaving barbell plates at the ceiling speakers, and I feel myself transforming into DeNiro’s Al Capone.
“I want you to find Fergie and everyone else involved in producing that song, I want them DEAD! I want their families DEAD! I want their houses burned to the GROUND! I wanna go there in the middle of the night and I wanna PISS ON THEIR ASHES!”
I also wondered about the “[letter] to the [letter]” thing, which I’ve heard elsewhere too. Anything that promotes an interest in the lost art of spelling isn’t all bad, I guess.
I’ll just hop into my T-R-A-N-S-A-M and get outta here…
I suggest you ask the gal from K-A-L-A-M-A-Z-O-O.
A-B-C, this thread is like 1-2-3…
A-P-O-C-A-L-Y-P-S-E, Apocalypse!! (“A-Bomb In Wardour Street”, The Jam).
C-H-E-E-S-E A-N-D O-N-I-O-N-S, oh no…

Better yet, isn’t that both arithmetic and spelling?

[hijack] WHOA, *that * took me back. Now my husband is wondering why the hell I’m singing “baby, baby bouncing off the satellites, yeah!” [/hijack]
Maybe they’re just dreaming of U-N-C-O-N-D-I-T-I-O-N-A-L-L-O-V-E.

If you’re looking for arithmetic examples, there’s “Come Together” by the Beatles:
One and one and one is three…
Of course the pedant in me says that’s wrong, since I interpret the word “and” as a Boolean expression, meaning the answer should really be “one”. They should sing it as “One plus one plus one…”

Which shows the incredible progress that Lennon and McCartney had made as songwriters in the five years since writing (but not recording) “One and One Is Two.”

The first time I heard “J to the A to the Y to the Z” (for example) I parsed it as: J[sup]A[sup]Y[sup]Z[/sup][/sup][/sup]. And I thought, “Man, that would be impossible to integrate.”
M is for the million things she gaaaaaaaaaaaaave me…
