I've been making omelettes for decades and while researching for omelette songs I found a video on how to make a perfect omelette. Seems I've been making perfect omelettes all this time. However, I do empathize with GenericTyler and his Omelette Song; while eggstruck sings of his omelette to the tune of Makin' Whoopie!, originally popularized by Eddie Cantor in 1928 (links to all below).         

From Wikipedia:

The earliest omelettes are believed to have originated in ancient Persia, now modern day Iran. According to Breakfast: A History, they were "nearly indistinguishable" from the Iranian dish kookoo sabzi.  
     
According to Alan Davidson, the French word omelette (French: [ɔm.lɛt]) came into use during the mid-16th century, but the versions alumelle and alumete are employed by the Ménagier de Paris (II, 5) in 1393. Rabelais (Pantagruel, IV, 9) mentions an homelaicte d'oeufs, Olivier de Serres an amelette, Le cuisinier françois (1651) by François Pierre La Varenne has aumelette, and the modern omelette appears in Cuisine bourgeoise (1784). The ancient Romans also combined eggs with dairy products to create savory and sweet dishes. 
       
According to the founding legend of the annual giant Easter omelette of Bessières, Haute-Garonne, when Napoleon Bonaparte and his army were traveling through southern France, they decided to rest for the night near the town of Bessières. Napoleon feasted on an omelette prepared by a local innkeeper, and thought it was a culinary delight. He then ordered the townspeople to gather all the eggs in the village and to prepare a huge omelette for his army the next day.     
        
Almost every nation in the world has some version of an omelette in its ethnic based cuisine (link below).
