[rang3r34]

Just in time for the FOURTH OF JULY!!

[menslady125]

Hey, I remember this.

[123segabcseg]

So do I

[beaver371]

Doesn't have to be July 4th even though there are fireworks. That is the most common time but not the only. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

[wonderglory]

The music sounds patriotic.

[lakela004]

these letters are made using SPARKLERS not fireworks, hence the title "sparkler alphabet". This video is circa 1980, so I doubt any special effects were used.

missed Å Ä Ö

[muzikman183]

wow i forgot all about this!!..

[beaver371]

What is that spinning thing that comes on before A?

[Patty13131313]

fake

[redfox409]

How do they get the fireworks to make the letters?

[tigerboy1227]

that could be editing but i belive it is the placement of stuff in fireworks

[speedomike747]

its are sparklers.

[redbike2008]

Happy Fourth Of July!

[redbike2008]

OK.

alphabet song

[angelgirl7473]

my daughter would love this.. seeing as there are fireworks at the end,,,

[Chickengirl005]

this is very old right? for some reason i think i've seen this before....

[CraigFoye80]

"W...X...Y...Zed!"

[chowder707]

What kind of firework is that that comes on before the letter A?

[davidpar2]

it's one of those stationary wheels that spin from the force of the fireworks attached to them...they used to have them at state fairs. it's kind of an old-fashioned effect nowdays

[Pam4Rob]

Yeah I remember my step dad buying fire works for the 4th of july and we would always have that spinning one, we would attach it to a tree and let it spin.. a tree with most the limbs cut off anyway.

[jtomally9681]

It looks like the devise that made the fireworks. I'm guessing.

[jtomally9681]

I think that was a devise making the letters.

[raakone]

That spinning thing? It's called a Katherine's Wheel

[mcht50202]

should do this on new years day countdown where there are fireworks.. instead of abc,we should put "H-A-P-P-Y N-E-W Y-E-A-R 2-0-1-0!!"

[JOHNNNYT06]

@mcht50202 ..well we did but some didnt make it due to the millenium bug turning computers against this... speaking from the future which is now or was possilble some time ago...

[gameshowguy2000]

I've never really understood what that spinning thing is at the very beginning. Anyone know what it is?

[alberteau]

A Catherine wheel?

[Teddywolf]

see you can learn something from blowing shit up

[verkaforever]

I think this is very pretty.

[ACCxD34DLY]

i really used to love this when it came on t.v =]

thanks for posting this =]

When I was 4 years old, I woke my parents up shouting out each letter as it appeared on the screen.... "A!...B!...C!...D!" By the time I was at N, my dad walks in and says, "Can you keep it down, son?" I was just trying to tell my folks once again that I had memorized the alphabet.

[XxForeverCutexX]

wooh!

[Mannex17]

Man, I remember this one from when I was five or something.

[iheartthemaxx]

I remember this, awesome thanks :D I love how fun and annoucery the guy sounds but dow to earth, not annoyingly silly.

[shinryakusha]

In the words of Deidara: COUNTING IS A BANG! KATSU!

[ilovemayo123]

this didnt always have the little yankee doodle in the background. That must be new. This always scared me when i was little.

[bluquail]

I can't imagine all the work that needed to done to make this, like setting up each letter's display.

[ltrombly65]

I was always scared of this one for some reason. I could never hold a sparkler. Maybe that's why.

[Scanwin]

Fun for kids..nice

[paisleypower30]

I love the echo effect, I'm like 4 now *lol* (I'm 33)

[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

I love it, but I don't hear the chimes at the end. Great job! Tinkerbell would be proud!

[lion371]

Iremember this.

[JeffK1980]

The fireworks in the end was totally awesome, man. Two thumbs up!

[brightbite]

I always had the urge to go screaming the alphabet at the top of my lungs whenever I saw this. I reasoned, "Well, that guy is doing it!" The colors were stimulating, too. Like Kaboom cereal. LOL

[lizzykat2]

Wow Fireworks I love fireworks

[srf1969]

This was neat when I saw all the Alphabet fireworks. They should do something like this on the Fourth of July.

[quizmaster85]

God bless Americans! Especially whoever had put that touch of "Yankee Doodle" in the background

[Saranoid888]

i always had a sense of something terrible impending once they arrived at 'Z'...but i couldn't look away...i had to see what was going to happen. Would the TV blow up???

[teenangel93]

I forgot about this one. BEST alphabet show EVER. Thanks for saving my memories. 5 stars

[aafuss]

What year is this one from?

[MajikBubble]

It's a catherine wheel at the beginning.

[lion371]

What kind of fire work is that at the beginning before letter a? Wouldn't it be nice if you could write with real fire works?
