If you sing the alphabet in keyboard order (qwerty…) there are two extra notes at the end that no letters fill.

    To keep the alphabet song’s beat correct, you condense W from three syllables into one where B should be. Those are the two left over, I believe.

    I think it’s the natural melody of singing it. The opening of abcdefg fits with qwerty where you’re holding on notes rather than fitting in more letters.

    not inherently, but a good example of how lyrics can be set to the same melody in different ways

    it’s the same letters and same syllables, it’s all just in how your brain is deciding to process the sounds of each letter to the timing of a melody

    if you time your syllables the same it will end the same

    theres the weird “LMNOP” part also lol

    I especially like the part where the letters “EssDeeEffGee-Aitch” just roll of the tongue.
