1) Baa Baa, Black Sheep
2) Twinkle, Twinkle
3) A, B, C song
Were they all written at the same time, by the same person? Did they start out with the same tune or evolve that way over time?

They all revolve around a simple beat centered on a major triad. I,II,III, vii. With a tune theme this simple, it was pretty much inevitable.
An interesting piece of music to listen to is Mozart's variations on this tune, I forget the Korchel listing, but any classical music teacher will be able to lead you in the right direction.

they aren't exactly the same tunes... each song has a slight variation from the others. it's an easy, catchy tune that children can pick up easily :)

maybe it's because they're kid's songs? maybe someone needed a tune and adapted it? i'm not sure.
