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

Just, no... LMNOP is half the fun of the song!

1. That's a crime - to my ears. It sounds crooked and doesn't work without LMNOP.

They could've changed it to this:

2. "Curly is a dope!"

My favorite part.

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?

7. I think Gene Vincent took some inspiration from this

[TomSlick]

4. Changing the ABC song borders on sacrilege.

What's next, changing Mary Had a Little Lamb? This is a dangerous slippery slope.

11. I'd accept a little wombat. n/t

[TomSlick]

14. A wombat with fleece as white as snow?

I don't think so.

[Harker]

15. Time for a total rewrite!

Mary had a little wombat...

It's tail was short and stubby...

(It's a start.)

[TomSlick]

16. Sacrilege!

What's next? Rewriting John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt?

[Harker]

17. Don't give me any ideas. n/t

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.

[TomSlick]

19. That's just wrong.

[sakabatou]

5. NO!

[musette_sf]

6. so instead of LMNOP

it's QRSTU. How ridiculous.

“They” need a time out on the chair in the corner!
