Have you ever noticed that some of the childhood songs are actually rather disturbing?

Yup...O_O

Ring Around the Rosie is actually a song based on a plague...
So yes, I agree with you. ._.

omigod yes! Thats why i love them!:D

haha yaahh

Nope.

Yup they scare me!!!!!! :P


That's why i carry a knife

From the bits of Homestuck references that I've deciphered...
There's a hole in my bucket!
Dear Liza, dear Liza~

Yeah. Ring around the roses was the one to first come to mind when I saw this question. I would describe what it's actually about and stuff but it was already stated in a couple of the other answers, so...

They are disturbing... I looked up most of their origins once... o.0

Obama wants his shoes back~

Oh absolutely yes! They're so violent!

All the time.

Yep.

So's Le Cucharacha or whatever.

Apparently the translation is "the cockroach does not dance because it has no marijuana." or something like that.

Mary Had A Little Lamb.

A LAMB THAT FOLLOWED MARY?

Yes.

When I have a kid, it's just gonna have to listen to the lullaby versions of Paramore.
And then when it gets a little older, just Paramore.
And then when it gets to be 13, I will let the kid choose its own music.

I guess some are now because I realize the real meanings of some of them like ring around the rosie

Yeah xD
For example, in my mother language there's this song that talks about how you threw a stick at a cat, but you couldn't kill him.

Haha, yep....that's why "Ring around the Rosie" is my favorite nursery rhyme as of now. xD

Yep, oh childhood...

(Random picture)

Ring Around the Rosie is very disturbing. .___.

I don't know the origins of Rockaby Baby & It's Raining, It's Pouring, though.

One of my favorite pastimes is watching the pokemon movies and counting the innuendo's lol

...srry bout the pic...it was just so hilarious

Yes.

You know, you have a point there o.o

Absolutely......O___o

Yep specially barney 0___0

And that, my friends, is why I miss my childhood.

Yes!!
Example: Barney
I love you , you love me....and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me too?
and that is why
my friends
we LOVE them, and they beat this horrible cheesy songs they do these days:P

A baby falling out of a tree....an old man dying....the black plaugue....Lovely things for children!

Yeah. When I was little, instead of "And down will come baby, cradle and all," I used to say "Then daddy catch baby and all." I was such an optimist child.

I always knew about "It's Raining", that's why I never sung it.

And "Ring Around the Rosie" isn't actually about the plague, it has no meaning.

However I used to sing the one about Lizzie Bordon, which is worse than either of the others. " Lizzie Borden took an axe, and gave her mother forty whacks. And when she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty one."
