Most English-speaking individuals are familiar with the so-called "Alphabet Song." Some people even still use the jaunty tune as a reference when confronted with the task of alphabetizing anything.

So when writer Noah Garfinkel posted a new version of the song on Twitter on Friday, people on the social media site were quick to push back.

One person wrote, "this is disgusting and appalling and something must be done about it."

Another just posted an image of the word "no."

"I feel bad for the future generations who have to listen to this remix," another Twitter user said. "There was nothing wrong with the old one, so I don't get why people had to go and change it."

So what's the big deal? The new version of the song, which appears to come from an educational website called Dream English, changes the tune of the L-M-N-O-P part.

The "soft abc song" appears to have originally been shared by the organization on YouTube in 2012.

The L-M-N-O-P part of the song is slowed down because for English learners, whether young kids or people who are speaking it as a second language, it sounds like one letter — "elemenopee."

Some users on Twitter confirmed this, saying they had heard this version of the alphabet song before.

"Pretty sure this is the version my junior school kids sang in Japan... so it already sounds familiar for me!" one person said. "I got used to it pretty fast. .. hadn't really thought at the time but yeah, a huge help for kids with different accents/speech impediments/etc."

Another Twitter user added, "Haven’t read everyone’s comments, but by separating the actual l m n o p rather than lmnop is to help children learn to differentiate each letter name vs one big combined letter name of lmnop. I reteach the ABC song to the tune of Old McDonald for my students with dyslexia."

Still, some bemoaned the change, saying "NOT ELEMENO."

But others came around on the change.

"My initial response was one of internal screaming," one person wrote. "But...I know the alphabet. I don't need to learn this song again. If this new version helps out kids who may have difficulty getting around certain parts (hello lmnop), then okay."

Benefits of ABC Songs for Kids

There are many reasons why ABC songs are essential. We have listed a few of the benefits below:

1. Increase Phonemic Awareness

Alphabet songs help increase children’s phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken language. By singing ABC songs, children are exposed to the different sounds of each letter which will help them when they begin to read and write.

2. Improve Literacy Skills

ABC songs can also help improve a child’s literacy skills. When children sing alphabet songs, they use their listening, speaking, and motor skills. By using all of these skills together, children are better able to remember the alphabet and how to read and write words.

3. Foster a Love of Learning

Alphabet songs can help foster a love of learning in children. When children are exposed to fun and engaging activities, they are more likely to want to know more. ABC songs are a great way to introduce children to reading and writing in a fun and exciting way.

4. Build Confidence

Singing alphabet songs can also help build children’s confidence. When children can successfully sing along to an ABC song, they feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. This boost in confidence can encourage children to continue to learn and grow.

5. Enhance Memory and Recall

Alphabet songs can also help enhance children’s memory and recall. When children sing alphabet songs, they are exposed to the same information multiple times. This repetition will help children remember the alphabet and be able to retrieve the information when they need it.

6. Develop Fine Motor Skills

ABC songs for kids can also help develop children’s fine motor skills. When children sing alphabet songs, they can use their hands and fingers to make the shapes of the letters. This helps develop the small muscles in the hands and fingers, which is vital for writing.

7. Aid in Speech Development

Speech development is another benefit of alphabet songs. When children sing alphabet songs, they use their mouths to make the sounds of the letters. This helps children learn how to form the different sounds of speech.

8. Improve Rhyming Skills

Alphabet songs can also help improve children’s rhyming skills. When children sing ABC songs, they are exposed to words that rhyme. This helps children learn how to identify words that rhyme and produce verses of their own.

9. Encourage Creativity

One of the best things about alphabet songs is that they help encourage creativity in young children. As they sing along, kids can develop their hand motions or dance moves to go along with the song. This type of creative expression is essential for cognitive and social development.

Legendary Swedish pop group ABBA released their first two new songs in 40 years. The musicians have released a piano ballad titled 'I Still Have Faith in You' online, accompanied by a video clip of new music over old footage of ABBA performances.

The Swedish pop quartet's new album, "Abba Voyage", will be released on November 5, followed by a "holographic tour" where virtual images of the soloists will "perform" accompanied by a real band of 10 musicians.

The second composition, which was presented to the public on Thursday, is called "Don't Shut Me Down". There will be ten songs on the new ABBA album in total.

ABBA musicians said they decided to record new songs while working on the stage show. "At first we only had two songs, but then we thought maybe we should do a few more," says Benny Andersson. He describes the new album as follows: "I think it's pretty good. We did our best at our age."

"Abbatars" sing

At the video presentation of the new project, which took place in the London Olympic Park, only the male half of ABBA performed - Agnetha Fältskog and Anna-Fried Lyngstad did not participate in it. “They should have been here,” Bjorn Ulvaeus joked about this. “But they are not as enthusiastic about all this publicity as Benny.”

This is how the "digital copies" of musicians will look like

ABBA's "virtual tour" called "Abba Voyage" will begin on May 27 next year. It will be held in a purpose built venue in east London, with concerts scheduled six days a week.

The avatars of the singers (which are known informally as "abbatars") were developed by American cinematographer Edward Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic, Hollywood's leading visual effects developer.

  • ABBA is back? Group teases fans with tweets and website for new show
  • ABBA record new songs - first time since 1982
  • ABBA musicians: "We don't have to prove anything to anyone"

They will "perform" 22 of ABBA's biggest hits, including Mamma Mia and Waterloo.

Special sensors were used in the preparation of the show, which recorded the movements of already aged ABBA musicians in order to make their young "copies" move as realistically as possible.

The band started recording the new album back in 2018

"Agneta, Frieda, Benny and Bjorn took the stage in front of 160 cameras and about the same number of visual effects geniuses," says producer Ludwig Andersson. "In five weeks, they are perfect performed all the songs that will be used in this show."

"That's why you don't see people playing the part of ABBA musicians during the show. That's who they are," he says.

Record success

Founded in 1972, ABBA includes songwriters Ulvaeus and Andersson of The Hep Stars, and singers Fältskog and Lyngstad, already successful solo artists.

ABBA has sold almost 400 million singles and albums worldwide, and their records remain incredibly popular despite the fact that the group broke up almost 40 years ago

But their joint project was completely overshadowed their previous work. After winning Eurovision with the song Waterloo at 19In 74, the group has sold almost 400 million singles and albums worldwide.

The musical "Mamma Mia!", based on their hits and produced by Ulvaeus and Andersson, was watched by more than 50 million people.

The band did well despite the divorces of Ulvaeus and Fältskog and Lingstad and Andersson, but 11 years later, in 1983, the musicians decided to leave.

Their last collaboration, The Singles, released in 1982, included the hits Under Attack and The Day Before You Came.

ABBA's last performance was three years later on the Swedish version of the TV show This Is Your Life.
