Thanks to Jo for writing in with today's theme idea. She pointed out that today in 1899, Scrabble founder Alfred Mosher Butts was born.

Butts was an out-of-work architect who wanted to create a game of both chance and skill by combining elements of anagrams and crossword puzzles, popular in the 1920s.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that have high-scoring Scrabble words in them?

Point value is as follows:

(1 point)- A, E, I, O, U, L, N, S, T, R

(4 points)- F, H, V, W, Y
(5 points)- K
