A few days ago, it was a theme inspired by the National Spelling Bee and all the songs had to do with spelling. The eclectic lunch started at noon, which is just when I had to go into my Linguistics class, so I have no idea what songs were played.
For the life of me I can't come up with an hours worth of music for this theme, can you?
So far, I've got:
- Gloria
- Respect
- Saturday Night (Bay City Rollers)
- Lola
- I'm Henry the Eighth, I Am
- Rocking in the USA
Any more? What am I missing?

Alright... you asked... I'm sorry to do this..... "Method of Modern Love", Hall & Oat(e?)s.
Oy, that hurt.
V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N!
Maybe they played the soundtrack from the (Tony-winning) "23rd Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee"?
I can only think of kid songs, like
B-O-O-T-S - but I love the ones you came up with (and your funny commenters too).
C-R-E-E-P, The Fall. I'm teaching my kids to spell that one.
What about acronyms?
YMCA?
Gwen Stefani, "Hollaback Girl"
There's that country & western song, "D-I-V-O-R-C-E".
And then there's...hmm...yeah, I see what you mean.
How about that old Tom Lehrer/ Electric Company classic, "Silent E"?
And "A, You're Adorable..."
Neither of those is exactly about spelling, per se, but I'd stretch a theme like that to include anything about letters or the alphabet.
I'm so glad I found this post again. I was driving somewhere yesterday and "American Woman" came on the radio... It spells out American at the beginning...so it fits! I immediately thought "I need to figure out which blog I was reading to post about this!
I need a life.
Thank you everybody! My brain feels so much less frozen because of all your help!
