I put a spell on you
After hearing the song,(I've Got A Gal In)Kalamazoo, on the radio the other day, I was reminded of a list TK and I had been putting together of spelling songs. These are songs in which a word is spelled at least once. I've decided to leave out songs spelling out acronyms (YMCA, TKO)and songs about the alphabet (AEIOU and Sometimes Y,
ABC-DEF-GHI sung by Big Bird of Sesame Street.)
Aside from spelling songs, I also like spelling chants that help you remember how to spell a word using rhythm. Other than M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I, I heard one in what I think was the 1930 film version of Tom Sawyer in which someone spells P-E-double N-S-Y-L-V-A-N-I-A tauntingly at Huck Finn when he misspells it in school.

Accents
The Speech Accent Archive is pretty neato. You can hear samples of people from all over the world reading the same paragraph in English. This will help you when you fake your own death and assume your new identity as a banker from New Zealand.
