Phonetic alphabet

[beowabbit]

So, since SALMON and PSYCHIATRIST are the phonetic-alphabet¹ spellings for L and P respectively², I'm curious what the rest of the alphabet is like. Some letters are obvious, of course, like DAMN for N, HONOR for H, and WRY for W (or should that be ANSWER?), but would anybody care to make suggestions for the rest of the alphabet? The vowels seem particularly hard; I mean TAOISEACH is great, but is it the spelling for A, O, or E? Or should we just go for maximum efficiency and use it for all three?

There's a song on the Barenaked Ladies' Snacktime album called "Crazy ABCs" which has a bunch of these. Sarah's got it in the rotation of Songs For Children That Don't Drive Us Completely Bonkers (TM).
