The Three Stooges did a great alphabet song called 'Swinging the Alphabet' and, if I did this correctly:

Glenda

B A bay
B E bee
B I bicky bye
B O boe
bicky bye boe B U boo
bicky bye boe boo..

The 3 Stooges Alphabet Song that we loved to sing in college was the same that the GUEST typed in above. The idea was to pick any letter but AEIOUXY or Q and then sing accordingly with the beginning letter...the GUEST posted with the chosen letter B.

If the letter M had been chosen, the song would look like this:

M A MAY
M E ME
Mee my mickey my
Mee O Mo
Mickey My Mo
Me Moo Moo
Mickey My Moo

The following is NOT the brightest of ideas, but we were young and stupid....we often sang this song to determine if we would be able to drive...the thinking was if you were sober enough to get this song out without stuttering, spitting or laughing your fool self silly, you were good enough to drive!
