The original concept was to have the Alphabet Song be same tune as Purple Haze, but kids found it tough to sing.

Maybe the artists were twins,seperated at birth but the wave of thinking is still in unison.

Probably because the tune was easy to remember and was already quite popular when the 2nd song was being thought up :-) Maybe they couldn't think of anything more original

Obviously, the people who wrote the Alphabet Song were bored and too stupid to make their own melody, so they ripped it off Bethoven

Because whichever of the composers ripped off the other thought the songs were both so inane it wouldn't even be discovered until long after they were both dead.

As P Diddy can tell you, it's easier sampling a tune that already works than having to think up something totally from scratch. Whether or not Twinkle, Twinkle was sampled or plagarized depends entirely on whether or not the creator was able to clear the rights.

Heh, the guy who first thought of the tune didn't get it copyrighted, I guess.
