* The Music/{{Vocaloid}} song "Bitter Choco Decoration", played just before the final chorus:

[[RefrainFromAssuming It's ridiculous, just ridiculous]]

* "B.A.D." by [[Music/{{WASP}} W.A.S.P.]]:

* Lootpack's "On Point" cranks this UpToEleven, with '''two full verses''' of spelling. It's taken to the point where I can't even post the lyrics. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eEqxdHWmfg Just hear it yourself.]]

* "D.A.N.C.E" by {{Music/Justice}}:

* Music/TheCure's "Fire in Cairo" spells the song title in the chorus. Repeatedly.

--> Mrs D, Mrs I, Mrs FFI,
--> Mrs C, Mrs U, Mrs LTY.

** Parodied in ''TheSimpsons'' by a vintage commercial starring Rainer Wolfcastle. The bratwurst the song was about had a ridiculously long second name (Schnackenpfefferhausen).

* "The Ballad of Sara Berry" from ''Theatre/35MMAMusicalExhibition'' dives into this during [[spoiler:the titular character's murder spree -- the names of the victims and the resulting consequences spell out "prom queen".]]

* Sam and Kirk [=McGee=]'s rather racist "C-H-I-C-K-E-N Spells Chicken."
-->C am the way to begin\\
H that's the next letter in\\
I that am the third\\
C am the seasoning of the bird\\
K am a-filling in\\
E am nearing the N\\
C-H-I-C-K-E-N, that am the way to spell chicken

* Fergie's "Fergalicious" manages to do this somewhat, but manages to ''misspell'' an incredibly simple word in the song - specifically, "tasty" as "tastey".

-->So give me more L-O-V-E, love (Love)\\
Love is a walk down Main Street (Oh love)\\
Love is an apple that is so sweet (Love)\\
Love is something that can't be beat (Love)\\
L-O-V-E is strange to me, Lord

-->Lonely lonely\\
The "L" is for the laughter we shared from the start\\
"O" is for the only girl in my heart\\
The "N" is for the night you told me we were though\\
For you had found somebody new\\
"E" is for the end of my world, a place I shared with only you\\
Empty, my world is dark\\
Loneliness has just begun\\
The "L" is for the love that was meant for me only\\
And "Y" why did you leave me lonely\\
Lonely

* "Gloria" by Them:

* "Saturday Night" by the BayCityRollers:

** The Bay City Rollers also had an accompanying chant to the tune of "ThisOldMan":

-->'''Walter Denton''':
'''B''' is for the books she helps us study.
'''R''' is she is righteous and so pure.
'''O''' is for the fact that she's our buddy.
The other '''O''' is likewise I am sure.
'''K''' is for okay she rates about.
'''S''' is for her sadly wrinkled brow.
She's motherly just like ''Elsie the Cow''.
-->'''Miss Brooks''':
Miss Brooks
That's me.
''(sob)'' I'll always be,

* In the ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' series, whenever Ringo gets excited, she tends to sing songs where she spells out the name of whatever caught her fancy at the time. In ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 2'', she spells "S-T-A-R-SHIP!" when she first arrives on the S.S. Tetra.
