Songs That Feature Spelling
This topic may prove to be more challenging.
How many songs can we list that have words spelled out in the lyrics?
Here are a few to get started:
V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N - Connie Francis
RESPECT - Aretha Franklin
BABY BLUE - The Echoes

D-I-V-O-R-C-E by Tammy Wynette has a number of words that are spelled out.

This one has the nine-letter word "happening" spelled out, which I believe is the longest one so far. It was the theme song of the Canadian tv show It's Happening.

In Give Him A Great Big Kiss (The Shangrilas). Mary Weiss emphatically states at the beginning of the song:
"When I say I'm in love, you best believe I'm in love: L-U-V"
