What NW songs do you guys know in which words--either the title or other lyrics in the song--are spelled out ? I'm sure there must be many more than the one I can think of right now:
Bop Girl - Pat Wilson

A-E-I-O-U (And Sometimes Y) by EBN-OZN. From their one and only release "Feeling Cavalier" back in 83. Perfect one hit wonders.

Even though it doesn't actually spell anything, I'm going to vote for "1-2-X-U" by Wire!

Bunker Soldiers by OMD
Trained bodies in coordination Is that a better way for bunker soldiers But it's a nicer way to spend a war On lava beaches and sandy seaside The rusting bodies are surplus now then We never taught them how to fight like that The object's exercise is so compulsive It's not a better way but it still suits us I'd give up rice fields to fight like you

It's not a better way
Though we are here to stay
Well that might seem OK
