Waxman Staff Writer Feb 6, 2015 5:32 PM UTC Most school children learned some version of the alphabet song growing up. In a minute-long video uploaded by YouTube user “cb6652,” watch as a toddler [performs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBvhTA9asug) a metal remix of the educational tune after bath time. Held up by one of her groupies (presumably), she has to start the song over a few times because of technical glitches. By the time she finally gets through it, she appears exhausted, in the sense that all she can say is “I want mommy.” ### A Squirrel's Guide to Fashion  This Year's Model Nina Leen—Time & Life Pictures/Getty Images  Simple, Yet Elegant Nina Leen—Time & Life Pictures/Getty Images  Sorry, Did You Say Something?
