Jo has the Thursday Theme: spelling songs, to mark the birthday of Scrabble inventor Alfred Moser Butts.
Born on this day in 1899, Alfred invented Scrabble in the 1930s (although he originally named it Lexico, and then Cross Cross Words!)
Can you think of a song that spells out a word, or talks about spelling and language? Maybe you know of a clever lyric that uses the highest-scoring word you鈥檝e ever won Scrabble with! Send all your song suggestions relating to spelling to jo.whiley@bbc.co.uk.
