From the very first season of Sesame Street, sung by Big Bird (Music by Joe Raposo; Lyrics by Raposo and Jon Stone):
ABC-DEF-GHI
Synopsis: Big Bird mistakes the Alphabet for a single long word, and he pronounces it like so:
"Ab-Ca-Def-Ghee*-Jeckle-Mih-Nop-Kwer-Stoov-Wix-iz"
Visual creepiness and/or disturbed nostalgia warning: they hadn't yet settled on Big Bird's proper look yet, and his head is disturbingly small in proportion to his beak and the rest of his body; you can almost see Carrol Spinney's hand and wrist inside the body suit.
Still a great song though... And the scary thing? I'm pretty sure I remember seeing this early version, back when it aired for the very first time; I would have been well past my sixth birthday (but not yet "six-and-a-half").
( Lyrics from www.lyricsmode.com & my augmentations: )
*That is: "Hard-G; long-E"
