Can I just say, it took me 10 minutes of googling, and then some correct spelling from the wonderful Mrs McFlah before I could work out the correct spelling for "Onomatopoeia".
I'd had it pegged as "onamatapaeia" due to, um, onomatopoeiac reasons.....

Onomatopoeia (also spelled onomatopœia, from Greek: ονοματοποιΐα) is a word or a grouping of words that imitates the sound it is describing, suggesting its source object, such as "click," "bunk", "clang," "buzz," "bang," or animal noises such as "oink", "slurp", or "meow".
"Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Boooom!"
Careful (Click, Click)
I thought of new world water by Mos Def, cause it sounds watery, but that's not quite the idea, is it?
I'm sure in "Annie I'm Not Your Daddy" by Kid Creole & The Coconuts, near the end the backing singers are going "ono - ono - onomatapaeia. ono - ono - onomatapaeia".
Who let the dogs out? Whoof Whoof Whoof!"

And the wood springs anew,

The ewe bleats after the lamb
The cow lows after the calf.
The bullock stirs, the stag farts
Merrily sing, Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo, well you sing, cuckoo;
Don't you ever stop now,
Sing cuckoo now. Sing, Cuckoo.
Sing Cuckoo. Sing cuckoo now!

Does the onomatopoeia have to be in the title? Because if not, there's Les Trois Cloches by Les Compagnons de la Chanson (with or without Edith Piaf) where they make the bell sounds and tune in the chorus.
