Rob e-mailed me today to ask if I knew that "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and the alphabet song have the same tune. I didn't know this and indeed wasn't sure that it was true (I'm not tone deaf, but it wouldn't surprise me if I was tone hearing-impaired). However, Rob said that he sang it together with his wife, Amy and confirmed that it was true:
twinkle, twinkle, little star
A-B-C-D-E-F-G
how i wonder what you are
H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P
up above the world so high
Q-R-S-T-U-V
like a diamond in the sky
W-X-Y-Z
twinkle, twinkle, little star
now i know my A-B-Cs
how i wonder what you are
next time won't you sing with me?
