Thread Name: new ditty from CapriUni: Broken Alphabet
Subject: new ditty from CapriUni: Scrambled ABC's
Recently, Thalia, the muse of comedy, decide it would be a hoot too hijack my brain.

A few days ago, she implanted the seed idea of scrambling the melody to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star".

Yesterday, she whispered: "It's the tune to the alphabet, too, you know -- scramble the letters! Scramble the letters!"

So help me, this is the result:

H O X Double-U A
K G B Z, F N R E J
M V T L C and Y
P D Q S U and I

(pause)

I can't tell you what went wrong;

(pause)

Someone scrambled up this song!

To get a .jpg of the score and/or hear a midi of the tune, copy and paste the following text (starting with X and ending with ||)

X:1
T:Scrambled ABC's
M:4/4
Q:1/4=120
K:C
