Social media up in arms over new version of the Alphabet Song

Someone Changed The Alphabet Song To Make “LMNOP” Clarifying, And It’s Horrifying


It is a tad triggering.

It was fine the way it was, but who really has the motivation or that little else going on in their life to be up in arms about this?

Only professional offendees, working overtime.

Some people really have too much free time.

Whoever produced this heresy must be cleansed with holy fire.

It was ruined long before when Americans kept pronouncing it 'Zee'.

I will never refer to it as Zed. That's what 1776 was all about.

NO one is actually "offended" by this

I seen they will be releasing an updated version of Baby It's Cold Outside because that fits in the #MeToo era

"I really can't stay (Baby it's cold outside)

"I've gotta go away (I can call you a ride)

"This evening has been... (So glad that you dropped in)

"...so very nice (Time spent with you is paradise)

"My mother will start to worry (I'll call a car and tell 'em to hurry)."

They continue:

"What will my friends think... (I think they should rejoice.)

"...if I have one more drink? (It's your body, and your choice.)"

Wasn't that about tea or something too?

One day you’ll join the rest of us. We’ll even have you spelling colour with a ‘U’ and using centimetres with your measurements.

This is the only Zed I acknowledge -

The Alphabet Song isn't Stairway to Heaven or The Star Spangled Banner, it's sole purpose is to teach very young children the ****ing alphabet. If there's a well-researched pedagogical reason for the song to be changed to improve learning there's no reason to complain.

People mad about this for real? Deadass?

I mean people don't like it or say it's bad. But it's not really a big deal. It wasn't trending or anything like that. The people complaining about people getting offended are making a bigger deal of it as usual

They already did one in 2016.

Equally cringing.

I really can't stay - Baby I'm fine with that
I've got to go away - Baby I'm cool with that
This evening has been - Been hoping that you get home safe
So very nice - I'm glad you had a real good time
My mother will start to worry - Call her so she knows you are coming
Father will be pacing the floor (Better get your car a-humming)
So really I'd better scurry - Yeah, No rush
Should I use the front or back door?
(Which one are you pulling towards more?)
The neighbors might think (That you're a real nice girl)
Say What is this drink? (Pomegranate La Croix)
I wish I knew how (Maybe I can help you out)
To break this spell (I don't know what you're talking about)
I ought to say no, no, no (you reserve the right to say no)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (you reserve the right to say no)
I really can't stay (...Well you don't have to)
Oh but it's cold outside
I've got to get home (Do you know how to get there from here)
Say, where is my coat (I'll go and grab it my dear)
You've really been grand (We'll have to do this again)
Yes I agree (How 'bout the Cheesecake Factory?)
We're bound to be talking tomorrow
(Text me at your earliest convenience)
At least I have been getting that vibe
(Unless I catch pneumonia and die)
I'll be on my way (Thanks for the great night)
Bye - Bye, drive safe

That "updated" version is beyond pathetic.
