    Didn't Stephanie Mills do a song titled "D-A-N-C-I-N"?

    And more recently, there was "G.L.A.D." by Kim Appleby and "R.S.V.P." by Jason Donovan--the latter from producers SAW, a.k.a. Stock Aitken Waterman.

    OK?

    Yes, that Stephanie Mills song exists. See my Top 25 post!

    I also volunteer:

    I.O.U. - Freeeze, with Arthur Baker, who later did another version on his "Give into the rhythm" album.
    SOS - ABC, NOT the same as:
    SOS - ABBA (again two abbreviations! does that mean I get double points?)
    BYOB - Can't remember the band...

    And does this one count:

    I want 2B the 1 for U - The Whispers (from "More of the night").

    And how about anything by U2, SOS Band, or THP Orchestra? Didn't the Three Degrees release an album called 3D?

    Nicky, I believe the song you were trying to think of earlier was "A.E.I.O.U.(and sometimes Y)" by Ebn-Ozn.
