Songs With The Letters Of The Alphabet In Their Titles

If, after reading the title of this post, you are arching your eyebrows in my direction at the inanity of it all, please let me explain. Yes, of course, all songs with words in their titles use the letters of the alphabet to form those words. However, some songs use a single letter (not a full word) somewhere in their title – and those are the ones I'm showcasing here. For example, Ed Sheeran's "The A Team," Pachelbel's "Canon In D," and MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This," just to name a few. In this post, you will find one song representing each letter of the alphabet. Ready...set...enjoy!  ~  JH
