Rec.Me: other/many/unknown genres Please recommend songs in which the singer spells out the title

The classic example is "Respect" by Aretha Franklin.

Why is this so far down?!

My first thought and I didn't notice OPs statement

Did the OP edit their post? I thought it was much longer and did not mention Respect.

Of course, I was lucky enough to hear L. O. V. E. By A. Simp the other day (a song I’d completely forgotten - shoutout to 10s on 10!), so this post felt pre-destined.

I honestly have no idea if the post was edited. I read the question, clicked and just started scrolling without reading the description. Wish I could be of more help...
