First off, let me say that “Y.M.C.A.” didn’t make the cut on this mix. Yeah, it’s a fun song, but chances are you’ve heard it a million times, and it’s such an earworm that it really belonged on last week’s mix — but I didn’t have the heart to do that to you. Clearly, I did have the heart to foist Billy Joel and Neil Diamond on you, but that’s because I have so much love in my heart.

This week, we’re spelling it! Yep, for some reason songwriters will often spell words in their songs, and sometimes it works, and other times, well … no so much.  Oh, and for those of you who actually listen to the full mix  you’ll get some humorous drops culled from the wilds of You Tube that just helps me state the obvious in this mix.

“C.I.T.Y.,” John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band (download)

This is the tune that started me thinking about songs where spelling seems to count for something.  (more…)
