"Now I know my A-B-Cs, next time won't you sing with me?"

We all remember learning our alphabet with that nice, playful song that managed to make boring letters musical and fun.

But what if I told you that song is now apparently a thing of the past?

A mother on TikTok recently shared that bombshell with a video that has now gone viral. The TikTok community, as it tends to do, has responded by totally freaking out and banding together to commiserate.

TikToker JesssFam shared the big news.

As the opening of her video made clear, she was in a good position to have her ear to the ground on this sort of grade school shakeup.

"You guys I have huge, huge, huge, huge, huge news."
"I have a fifth grader, a fifth grader, a fourth grader, a third grader, a third grader, a first grader, and a preschooler and I just got news that the alphabet song is changing."

She then went on to sing the new version. The differences were subtle, but noticeable.

Just to add to your 2020 🤯😱 because distance learning wasn’t enough!!! @ms_frazzled #abcsong #lmno #wtf #momsoftiktok

TikTokers were appalled they changed the song to remove a very common struggle for so many kids: that "L-M-N-O" section.

Simply put, that section of the song has some serious fans.

Others didn't mention any specifics, but shared their clear emotional outrage.

Now before anybody panics, it's important to keep in perspective this was only one pre school classroom.

The question, though, is will the new version catch on?

Or will "elemeno" stand the test of time.

Randy Rainbow Hilariously Drags Mitch McConnell's Unlikely Senate Return With 'Mitchcraft' Parody Video

Singer and satirist Randy Rainbow has been parodying politics since the first presidency of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump. But Trump isn't the focus of Rainbow's latest comedy music video.

Instead, the performer—whose name really is Randy Rainbow—set his sights on the mysterious 92-day disappearance of Kentucky MAGA Republican Senator and former Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell. In June, the 84-year-old lawmaker reportedly fell at his home and was taken to the hospital.

We Just Got Our First Look At AMC's New 'Dune: Part 3' Popcorn Bucket—And They Really Went There

Remember when a Dune popcorn bucket sent the internet into a collective meltdown? Well, AMC Theatres apparently looked at all that chaos and thought, “Cute. Let's double it.” The popcorn bucket madness continues with Dune: Part Three, and this time, the sandworms are coming in pairs.

AMC is pitching its new Double Sandworm Collectible as a way to make sharing popcorn easier. A thoughtful gesture, really, although the two gaping, tooth-lined mouths suggest the design team may have had a little too much fun with the assignment.
