Songs with words spelled out

Hall & Oates ~ Method Of Modern Love / Wu Tang Clan ~ Method Man


You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

For some reason the videos didn't work. The one by Mellencamp I know. The first one I'm thinking of is Al Greene's L.O.V.E.

Since there are a tonne of rap songs like this, I will post the guy whose primary style was spelling out words.

F" is 4 frustration
I'm looking 4 what isn't really there
"I" is instigation
I'm listening 2 the voice beneath my hair
"N" is 4 the naked body
And 4 what my naked eye can see

CHORUS:
G-spot, G-spot
Where, oh where can U be?

"A" is 4 America
And 4 the things U read in magazines
"L" is 4 location
I am a clock, the time is 9:15
"L" is 4 the lust we share
We want 2 know that infamous pleasure

CHORUS

"Y" is 4 my yearning
I'm burning into mystery

You know what!!! I didn't know what she was saying in that break down. It's the part where she's spelling and the ad-lib says ("You Can't blame nobody").

And it is brilliant- she's spelling it backwards because she's taking to herself in the mirror.

WOW, after all these years. I guess I should have just looked in the cd booklet lol
