The oldest published version of the melody to the “Alphabet Song” was in 1761. However, because it’s the same melody as “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and “Baa Baa Black Sheep,” it's hard to trace it to its original composer.The “Alphabet Song” is so deeply entrenched in American culture that it almost seems sacrilegious to change a piece of music that’s one of the first most of us ever learned. But after all these years, some educators are altering the classic melody so that there is a variation when the letters L-M-N-O-P are sung.This change shocked popular TikTokker Jessica Skube, who documents life raising 7 children with her 2.6 million followers. Nearly 10 million people have watched her video revealing the significant change, and it’s received over 56,000 comments since first being published in late 2020."You guys, I have huge, huge, huge, huge, huge news,” Skube told her followers. "I have a fifth grader, a fifth grader, a fourth grader, a third grader, a third grader, a first grader, and a preschooler and I just got news that the ‘Alphabet Song’ is changing."She then sang the updated version of the song. @jesssfamofficial Just to add to your 2020 ?? because distance learning wasn’t enough!!! @ms_frazzled #abcsong #lmno #wtf #momsoftiktok The big reason for the change is that people learning English, whether young kids or those who speak it as a second language, often get confused because L-M-N-O-P can sound like one letter, “elemenopee." So, the new version breaks up that part of the alphabet, making the letters easier to understand. There has been a "surge" in the number of students learning English as a second language over the past decade, so it only makes sense to alter the song to help them learn the fundamentals of the language. It’s believed that this new version of the song was first created by a website called Dream English in 2012. This article originally appeared on 9.27.23

Ghost’s debut film, “Rite Here Rite Now,” will launch in cinemas globally on June 20th and June 22th with newly added dates of June 22th and June 23rd. Theater Locations/Times The feature-length film, directed by Ghost’s Tobias Forge (pictured above) and Alex Ross, combines never-before-seen L.A. concert footage filmed last year, with a narrative story that picks up plot threads from the band’s long-running “Chapters“ series. A sneak preview has been released. “Over a decade ago when Ghost got signed to Loma Vista, (owner and CEO) Tom Whalley asked what the story of the band was,” shared Forge, “Because we were a new ‘baby’ band and more importantly we were an anonymous baby band, there wasn’t really a compelling story to tell. Not yet anyway. But I told him that if he wanted a story, I could come up with one. This film is the fruit of that conversation.” The film’s original soundtrack will be available on all formats (digital, CD, 2xLP). ### The post Added Screening Dates For Ghost Debut Film + Sneak Preview appeared first on RockinTown.
