NATO Phonetic Alphabet Songs

Some of you may be reading the title of this post and asking yourself (or me, remotely), "What the heck is the NATO Phonetic Alphabet?" While you may not know it by this name (it has a couple of other common names, which are equally clunky), you will probably recognize the concept. If you've ever watched a crime drama, for instance, you've likely heard a law enforcement officer spell out the letters of a license plate over a radio, only to have it sound something like "Victor-Bravo-Foxtrot-One-Zero-Seven." Each letter in the traditional alphabet has a word designation in this NATO Phonetic Alphabet, and one song of each of those letter-words is represented in this set. Because, why not? Enjoy!  ~  JH
