What? Did somebody fart? 
BE! AGGRESSIVE!
B! E! AGGRESSIVE!
B! E! A-G-G! R-E-S-S-I-V-E!
The Scissor Sisters played with this convention in “Bicycling with the Devil”:
*I wish I could ride with you because you and me and the devil make two. *
(Note for Googlers: Complete lyrics are highly not-work-safe.)
I hate the parts in Morningwood’s “Nth Degree” where they spell the name of the band.
Isn’t there a song that goes “You and me and the devil make three” that’s, like, better at math? Not as good at math as “Calculus” by 2 Gether though.
And is there a trend in new music, presumably of the hip-hop or rap variety, to spell things out? I can’t think of any songs besides the aforementioned one by Gwen.
To go back a bit, check out “L-O-V-E,” one of the best songs Nat King Cole ever sang:
Also, Elvis did one of these; in Clambake he spelled out “C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-C-E,” which is way, way too long a word to be spelling out in a song. I’d lose my place halfway through the word, and had to listen a few times to make sure he was spelling what I thought he was spelling.
I was lying on the bench slide in the park across the street
L-A-T-E-R that week
(Len - Steal My Sunshine)
Yes, but as much as I passionately hate that song, at least it made sense–she was spelling the words she didn’t want her little boy to pick up on. Sad, sad song.
True enough. I was just trying to make sure the idea wasn’t all that new and “current.”
I was going to ask (maybe in another thread – maybe not) if anybody could name one older than K-A-L-A-M-A-Z-O-O, even though that’s not quite the title of the song. Guinastasia might know of one. 
There was an old song on American Idol this week that used spelling.
That was my point – how else is there to possible interpret it?
Would that be an improvement over a F.E.E.L.I.N.G. C.A. double L.E.D. L.O.V.E.?
