Thanks to Milly Mason for recommending this theme! There are so many great songs with words that represent the sound the word makes when you say it. Merriam Webster defines onomatopoeia as: the naming of a thing or action by a vocal imitation of the sound associated with it. You basically know one when you hear it.

United Record Pressing supports this show and we thank that legacy local business for its sponsorship of this mixtape we make together on WNXP. Find the next prompt for Thematic Static @wnxpnashville on the socials. You can also leave a voicemail at 615-320-9100.
