Make fun of me if you'd like, but it wasn't until I was a mom for a few weeks and revisited all of my childhood songs again that I had a groundbreaking revelation. The ABC song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have the same tune! And today, even more amazing, I discovered that Baa Baa Black Sheep has the same tune as well!
In my defense, I did know that the melody that Twinkle Twinkle was based on an old french song "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman" and that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed a delightful little number of variations of this song. Maybe this is why they call it the "Mozart effect" for children...
Learn something new every day! :)
