spelling songs

There may be an obvious answer to this question, but are there any songs that deal with spelling?

That really dumb-ass and insipid banana song by Gwen Steffani.
 
 Aretha Franklin's "Respect".
 
 There's some song about a guy named Johnny that spells out something that I haven't fully been able to figure out due to it's heavy English and Punkish stylings. I'll have to ask that Dodgy Slapper guy what it is as I can't remember right now.
 
 Of course, I'm not really sure that I understand your question.

Big Bird!
 
 ABC-DEF-GHI-JKL-MNOP-QRSTUV-WXYZ
 It's the most remarkable word I've ever seen
 ABC-DEF-GHI-JKL-MNOP-QRSTUV-WXYZ
 I wish I knew exactly what I mean
 It starts out like an "A" word as anyone can see
 But somewhere in the middle it gets awful "QR" to me
 ABC-DEF-GHI-JKL-MNOP-QRSTUV-WXYZ
 If I ever find out just what this word can mean
 I'll be the smartest bird the world has ever seen!
