Being a horrible speller, I enjoy showtunes who lyrics spell words. I am currently working on a playlist of all songs that spell a word or words.
Examples include:
Schadenfreude
Almost any song from Spelling Bee
Liza With a 'Z'
... I know there are others
Any ideas?
I am not Tony winner Dan Fogler.

Are you just looking for songs that spells out a word in any way?
"Hashish" from Hair ("S-E-X! Y-O-U!")
"If there is going to be a restoration fee, there should also be a Renaissance fee, a Middle Ages fee and a Dark Ages fee. Someone must have men in the back room making up names, euphemisms for profit."

"In the rain, the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever."

Posted: 10/9/06 at 6:19pmActually, Vandergelder's "FEMITY? Get out of here!" is not in the script. I don't know where they got that from.
