No, not Laura Branigan's Name Game moron. [:D]

Any new wave song wherein words or lines are being spelled out.

Sample

CREEP - The Fall
FIRE IN CAIRO - The Cure
Whats Your Name (PRETTY BOY) - Depeche Mode
How Men Are - Aztec Camera

Argh, I'm drawing a blank at the moment, but here's one (it's a stretch):

Ministry - The Nature of Outtakes (Al spells out L-O-V-E)

1002

Shopping, by the Pet Shop Boys. On their last album they also spelled out Minimal. Pretty cool how they performed them back to back on the last tour.

Does Ned's Atomic Dustbin count as new wave? They did the cover of the Bay City Rollers' classic Saturday Night.

Not new wave, but April Wine did If You See Kay. [}:)]

Or Patti Smith's cover of Van Morrison!

U2's "Gloria" had a bunch of latin in it...I think. I could never understand what he was singing.
