2.22.08 SPELLING SONGS

I've been wanting to do this one for over a year: a show made up entirely of songs in which a word is spelled out. Thanks to everybody for sending in suggestions, especially the folks that send me links to webpages of lists of spelling songs! I guess this playlist is another one.
