Thread Name: Lyr Add: The Alphabet Song variations
Subject: The Alphabet Song
Perhaps the "Alphabet Song", the one whose lyrics consist, in the main, of the letters of the alphabet in alphabetic order, is perhaps a bit too puerile or infantile or something for the Digitrad, but it's certainly an important part of preliterate musical culture. I've got the version I sang as a very wee tot here in La Lilandejo. I'm interested in knowing other people's and peoples' variants. The tune of the version I (and most other kids hereabouts) learned is essentially the same as "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and only a bit different from "Baa, baa, black sheep". (Didn't see "Twinkle, twinkle" nor any immediately obvious parodies thereof in the Digitrad, either, which does surprise me a bit.
