They changed the ABC song to clarify the LMNOP part, and it is life ruining. (Original Post)

(9,682 posts)1. That's a crime - to my ears. It sounds crooked and doesn't work without LMNOP.
They could've changed it to this:

My favorite part.

(9,682 posts)3. Sure enough. I never caught that before.
I like the swing that starts with the 2 modulation. Maybe that's what the OP's new version needs too?

(11,118 posts)4. Changing the ABC song borders on sacrilege.
What's next, changing Mary Had a Little Lamb? This is a dangerous slippery slope.

TomSlick
(11,118 posts)14. A wombat with fleece as white as snow?
I don't think so.
Harker
(14,056 posts)15. Time for a total rewrite!
Mary had a little wombat...
It's tail was short and stubby...
(It's a start.)
TomSlick
(11,118 posts)16. Sacrilege!
What's next? Rewriting John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt?

(14,056 posts)17. Don't give me any ideas. n/t

(50,567 posts)18. The Mad Magazine version was very good
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go
But Mary found the price of meat
Had soared, which didn't please her.
Tonight she's having leg of lamb
The rest is in the freezer.
