S, as in probably NSFW, is for Springer. Jerry Springer. As in "Jerry Springer the Opera." It's really more a musical, but whatever, bring on the Klan. "It would be rude not to," as Jerry says:

Sorry about that.

Would've been less time, but it took me a couple of minutes to find out that there's no video for the Anna Nicole Smith opera.

Yet.

U is for one of the classics from the 1970's genre of wet-dream/masturbation rock

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO-Wu4L-mVQ"]YouTube - Undercover Angel[/ame]

Alan O'Day's Undercover Angel. Takes about 20 seconds to get through the inexplicable intro lifted from Mungo Jerry, but around 2:45 or so it cements, so to speak, its status as one of the classics of the aforementioned genre.

 

V is for Victor Rice aka Strikkly Vikkly on the faders. Dub it!

E is for Elio e le Storie Tese - Mio Cuggino

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFW81wHXcbE"]YouTube - Elio e le Storie Tese - Mio cuggino[/ame]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elio_e_le_Storie_Tese
Elio e le Storie Tese (literally "Elio and the Strained Stories"), often abbreviated EELST, is an Italian band from Milan, formed in 1980, whose music is clearly (and declaredly) inspired to the style of Frank Zappa, both in music and lyrics. Its leader is Stefano Belisari, better known as Elio.
Elio e le Storie Tese's musical work is characterized by eclecticism and competence, in the melodic, harmonic and orchestration (arrangement) aspects, augmented by the member's technical proficiency. They are widely considered as some of the best musicians in Italy.
Their songs are typically interspersed by a rude, coarse humour which lies in stark contrast to their extreme varied and competent musical talent; once the band was considered part of the 'demential' rock underground spawned after the demise of punk and cross-fertilized by situationist dadaism, but they have soared well past above that scene.

So we're on to J. I apologize for putting this here - sort of. It is a video clip about as long as some videos, of a Grammy presentation from John Lennon and Paul Simon to Olivia Newton John - sort of (and Elton John was one of the nominees along with ONJ). Simon and Lennon were having a good time, clearly:
