nursery rhymes
bongi
regular
regular
has anyone else ever noticed that there are quite a good number of fairly macabre nursery rhymes?
the famous one is
ring a ring a roses
a pocket full of posies
atishoo atishoo
we all fall down
which is about the black death (the ring of roses represents the rash that victims had)
but there's others too
"oranges and lemons" sing the bells of st clements
"you owe me five farthings" sings the bells of st martins
"when will you pay me?" sing the bells of old bailey
"when i grow rich" sing the bells of shoreditch
"when will that be?" sing the bells of stepney
"i do not know" sings the great bell of bow
here comes the candle to light you to bed
here comes the chopper to chop off your head!
chip chop chip chop
the last man's dead!
completely harmless until the end when it suddenly becomes really dark
the most bizarre of all though has to be
it's raining it's pouring
the old man is snoring
he went to bed and bumped his head
and didn't wake up in the morning
so macabre! and yet i didn't noticed until like a few days ago
does anyone else know any macabre nursery rhymes or the stories behind them? i just think it's pretty weird we happily teach these happy sounding tunes to kids when the lyrics are so dark

I always thought it was ashes ashes as a reference to burning corpses
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.

On the treetop
When the wind blows

When the bow breaks
the cradle will fall
And down will come baby
cradle and all
ITT we throw babies off of trees.

ahahahaha
what is the tune like
Literally. That's where they transplanted it to.
His cock was so long he could suck-it
He said with a grin
as he wiped off his chin
"If my ear was a cunt, I could fuck-it"

goes to the sound of "shananana"
go away geek you're not welcome here
anyway
what about this one
sing a song of sixpence
a pocket full of rye
four and twenty blackbirds
baked in a pie
when the pie was opened
the birds began to sing
wasn't that a dainty dish
to put before the king
the king was in his counting house
counting out his money
the queen was in her parlour
eating bread and honey
the maid was in the garden
counting out her clothes
when down came a blackbird
and pecked off her nose
i mean seriously the maid is attacked by a rabid bird that pecks her nose off
that is a serious and bloody injury!
they were all filled with incredibly macabre poems and children's stories and accompanying pictures that i think were fairly detrimental to a healthy childhood development
so thats where it all traces back to eh?

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

i don't even know most nursery rhymes
to fetch a pail of water
jack fell down and broke his crown
and jill came tumbling after
TWO CHILDREN FALL DOWN A HILL AND ONE OF THEM CRACKS HIS SKULL OPEN
it's so weird that these are all really dark
that reminds me, did anyone else learn drinking songs as lullabyes?

But at least it turned a generation off acid
"here is a picture of the monkey desecrating the witch's corpse"
It's like The Departed!
Everybody gets fuckin killed!
