Before we had Sesame Street, we had Professor Dick Clark, who presided over the Doo Wop Era. The adults said that our music was idiotic or moronic or both, but I actually learned the alphabet by listening to that stuff.  Take this song for example:

I,I,I,I,I,I only have I’s 4 U.   1959, by those pink birds  ”The Flamingos”   Gu bob chu bop!  —PG
