Wait until you hear what they did to the U.S. alphabet.
LMNOP is gone. They fucking killed it.
Huh?
Basically the song got changed in elementary school from,
"ABCDEFG HIJKLMNOP QRS TUV WX Y and Z(ee)"
to
"ABCEFG HIJK L M N OPQ RSTUV WXY and Z"
Basically they slowed it down
So does it no longer go to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?
It "does", which makes it even worse.

Wow, that was...something. Completely dumps the rhyming "ee". If kids are having trouble with understanding elemeno, a better solution (IMO anyway, as someone who is not in any way an early learning educator) would be to just be more staccato with annunciating the l. m. n. o. peee.
What?! Noooooooooo!
Close, but not quite. It's actually "L M N O P", but that's okay keep trying!! ;)
