Another vid I made of a song I wrote:

What I wrote for the description:

This song came out of frustration. I've long asked two simple (I think they're simple) questions. And so far, no one seems to be able to give me a real answer:

1) *Why* is Alphabetical Order the order that it's in?

I've seen it written that it goes back to the ancient alphabet of the Phoenicians, but no one can tell me why *they* settled on the order that they did...

and:

2) When did "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" (also the tune to "Baa, baa, Black Sheep"), become the only "right" tune for the alphabet song?

Seriously -- does anyone know? I hate it when there I things I have to accept "Just because that's the way things are!"

Oh, and I've also found that the ABCs go quite well to "Frere Jaques" and "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."
