The question as to why twinkle twinkle is such a memorable and well loved melody is despite its simplicity is difficult to answer without either being too technical or too hand-wavy, but suffice to say that it packs a lot of content into it short and sweet package. It's conversational, it sort of raises a question and answers it. It has a sort of tension and release, with the middle section being reassuringly answered by the same melodic phrase that came at the beginning. The harmonic structure is perfectly resolved: I'd be hard pressed to think of a more "complete" sounding short melody.
Some of this is certainly a feedback loop: it's popular to use this melody because it's popular to use this melody. Once you start using a melody for multiple songs, it becomes more likely that that melody will be used for the next song!
Another thing Kevin does are slides. These are little grace notes (twinkles!) that he uses to approach some of the chords. For example, he slides from Eb into a C major triad (C-E-G).
flamingtoaster, she does it all the bloody time! Non stop, morning til night (especially when her sister is trying to sleep and first thing in the morning...) We're trying to teach her a different song cause we're all so sick of twinkle twinkle...
my dd did twinkle at that age too... I used to sing it to send her to sleep, so not surprising it was her first tune I guess. At first I thought maybe it was me being all over proud and optimistic mum, but her grandma commented on it after dd saw her, and I'd not told her beforehand. Now at just turned 21 months, she can sing at least 10 songs, with varying clarity of words - twinkle is perfect other than think it is like a tiger in the sky! and wind the bobbin up is totally perfect. I'm expecting them all on x factor in 13 years!
my dd (19 months) does Joleane and We Will Rock You. Her sisters are Karoke champions... Oh to have twinkle little star... BLiss.
That said the singing in tune at such a young age is unusual. X Factor here she comes!
My 15 month old hums twinkle twinkle and ba ba black sheep but only the first few lines. i wouldn't call it pitch perfect but I understand the song. rec you've got a very musical kid!
Interestingly the humming has coincided with starting to speak a bit - 'ball', 'bee' 'eye' etc.

The little-known fact that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote the melody for the children's song "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" is not so little-known as the wiseacre typically volunteering the "fact" would have you believe. I've seen the claim in Frommer's travel guides, children's books about Mozart, and even (ironically) a book about scientific misconceptions by Phil Plait, who blogs at Bad Astronomy. It's plausible enough, I guess. Who else would compose one of the world's most famous kids' songs but the world's most famous kid composer?
