Why does ABC have the same tune as Twinkle Twinkle?

Answer 1

Yes, they do. That happens often, for example many hymn tunes are associated with more than one set of words. Mozart composed a famous set of variations on the folk song "Ah, vous dirai-je, Maman", also known as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

Answer 2

The ABC has the same tune as twinkle twinkle because the composers worshipped Mozart and didn't have enough imagination to fill an egg cup, so they wrote their song tune after Twinkle Twinkle/ Ah vous dirai je maman

Answer 3
