A (named a /ˈeɪ/, plural aes) is the first letter and a vowel in the ISO basic Latin alphabet. It is similar to the Ancient Greek letter Alpha, from which it derives.
The earliest certain ancestor of "A" is aleph (also called 'aleph), the first letter of the Phoenician alphabet (which, by consisting entirely of consonants, is an abjad rather than a true alphabet). In turn, the origin of aleph may have been a pictogram of an ox head in Egyptian hieroglyphs.
In 1600 B.C., the Phoenician alphabet's letter had a linear form that served as the base for some later forms. Its name must have corresponded closely to the Hebrew or Arabic aleph.
When the ancient Greeks adopted the alphabet, they had no use for the glottal stop—the first phoneme of the Phoenician pronunciation of the letter, and the sound that the letter denoted in Phoenician and other Semitic languages—so they used an adaptation of the sign to represent the vowel /a/, and gave it the similar name of alpha. In the earliest Greek inscriptions after the Greek Dark Ages, dating to the 8th century BC, the letter rests upon its side, but in the Greek alphabet of later times it generally resembles the modern capital letter, although many local varieties can be distinguished by the shortening of one leg, or by the angle at which the cross line is set.

Genres: Action, Adventure, Drama, Western,Who is the man, who is the man, who is the man?
Why does it take control of you? Because it can
Who cleans the floors, who mends the doors ?
Who wanted more, who wanted more? You wanted more
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, it's not funny
They're making T-shirt money
Who is that girl, who is that girl? Beautiful girl
She doesn't need no makeover, natural curls
She looks so rich, with perfect legs, but she's a bitch
Dad's got the cash, her looks won't last, thick as a brick
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, it's not funny
I want the same things
But I don't know what to say
I can't change it anyway
And I wish I had your face
And I wish I had your brains
But I don't
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, no money
I want the same things
But I don't know what to say
I can't change it anyway
And I wish I had your face
And I wish I had your brains
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, no money
I want the same things
But I don't know what to say
I can't change it anyway
And I wish I had your face
And I wish I had your brains
