mhg Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Another thread jogged a funny memory from my childhood. Anyone else remember hearing the 3 stooges teaching the alphabet?! It's funny and yet educational. To see it go to www.youtube.com and enter in the search box "3 stooges swingin the alphabet." This clip is only 2 minutes 13 seconds. It's great! An aside: I took my son and neice to get pictures taken at portrait studio back in May; while we were there at the checkout there was a photo/advertisement showing some graduates in their cap and gown. In my 3-year old neices mind, the image obviously triggered this same 3 stooges clip which I had showed her about 9 months earlier. As soon as she saw the graduates (which were dressed like the stooges) she said, "Look, Aunt Mar!" and immediately began singing the "swingin' the alphabet" song. She literally had heard the song about three times (I recall showing it to her and her asking me to replay it another time or two). It stuck in her memory banks well as she sang the first part of it VERY accurately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Cute video, but why in the world were they teaching the alphabet to adults? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasharowan Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Ds14 is a big Stooge fan and showed us this clip. There is another one where they sing their own version of Happy Birthday. The kids liked it so much they sang it to Dad for his birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumiller Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Thank you mhg!!! That clip is proof that I'm a visual learner. :D My dh has been trying to teach me that little ditty for years but I could never figure out exactly what the pattern was and believe me, he would sing it painfully slow but to no avail. Now having seen it, it is sooooo easy! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhg Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 As for the questions about why they're teaching adults...who knows? I'm GUESSING that somehow the stooges are caught up in another self-imposed mess and they've claimed to be chorus teachers and have to prove to the onlooking professional gentleman that they are so they teach this primitive song which the students take off with like pros and they cheese it up and come out smelling like roses.
