| National Anthems | Het Wilhemus | Wilem van Nassov (Origial version) Willem van Nazzov (Compemorary version) | This song is what is called an acrostic, this name is spelt out by the the intitials of the fifteen stanzas. It is rather neet because the acronomy bears a cositant realtion to pronunciation, the phrase is spelt out how it is pronounced and none of the lines begin with a silent letter. There is also an Angophone version, spelling out William of Nassau, while still none of the lines begin with a siltent letter, the acromomy is clearly based too much based on spelling, the ninth stanza stars with f rather than v despite the fact the the consonant in 'of' (I mean, how it is pronounced, not how it is spellt) is really a 'v' rather than 'f'. - Feurzeug | |||
| Frank Sinatra | Jingle Bells | J-I-N-G-L-E, B-E-L-L-S | As big a star as Frank Sinatra was, I'm rather surprised that I apparently never heard this particular vesrion of this familiar song until tonight when I heard it on my car radio. But that must be the case, as it starts out like what seemed a new song to me when I heard it tonight. For example, it begins with lines added to the song's standard ones, like "I love those J-I-N-G-L-E- Bells". With those lines repeated at the beginning, it was some way into the song before I had any idea it would turn out to be "Jingle Bells"! - Ava Murphy | |||
| Various | C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S | Christmas | Spells "Christmas" as follows: "C" is for the Christ child, born upon this day, "H" for herald angels in the night, "R" means our Redeemer, "I" means Israel, "S" is for the star that shone so bright, "T" is for three wise men, they who traveled far, "M" is for the manger where he lay, "A"'s for all He stands for, "S" means shepherds came, And that's why there's a Christmas day, - Ava Murphy | |||
| Weird Al Yankovic | Albuquerque | Albuquerque | A! (A!) L! (L!) B! (B!) U! (U!) ...... Querque! (QUERQUE!) ((Call and response to a crowd)) - kaosblaze |
