      Nursery rhymes were not meant for children. They were made up by baladiers who went from town to town telling stories. They had to be true stories or whose ever court they were in, they would be killed. The point being is these were not written for adults. I am not sure when they filtered down to the children.

    mary mary quite contary was not about torture methods, it was made by protestants to mock mary. 'how does your garden grow' was making fun of the fact she struggled to have a child, silver bells is about how she liked sombre music (church bells) and cockle shells is about how her husband was having many affairs which then was called cuckling. pretty maids all in a row is about how when she had many stillborn babies, she buried them in a row. i hope this helped

    2. Never heard of Goosey Goosey Gander
    3. I didn’t know there was a second part after “Jill came tumbling after”
    4. A theory I have is that maybe the 3 Blind Mice are the real Bloody Mary. Since you’re supposed to say “Bloody Mary” 3 times into the mirror hence there were 3 mice and close your eyes hence the blind part.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, skinny and stout,
    I’ll tell you a tale I know nothing about;
    The Admission is free, so pay at the door,
    Now pull up a chair and sit on the floor.
    One fine day in the middle of the night,
    Two dead boys got up to fight;
    Back to back they faced each other,
    Drew their swords and shot each other.
    A blind man came to watch fair play,
    A mute man came to shout “Hoorray!”
    A deaf policeman heard the noise and
    Came to stop those two dead boys.
    He lived on the corner in the middle of the block,
    In a two-story house on a vacant lot;
    A man with no legs came walking by,
    and kicked the lawman in his thigh.
    He crashed through a wall without making a sound,
    into a dry creek bed and suddenly drowned;
    The long black hearse came to cart him away,
    But he ran for his life and is still gone today.
    I watched from the corner of the big round table,
    The only eyewitness to facts of my fable;
    But if you doubt my lies are true,
    Just ask the blind man, he saw it too.

    Ring around the rosy,
    A pocket full of posies,
    Ashes, Ashes,
    We all fall down,
    Ring around the rosy,
    A pocket full of posies,
    Atissue, Atissue,
    We all fall down.
    --------
    The first verses meaning is: a ring of red rash on the skin, because of the plague.
    Pocket full of posies is because of a belief that the disease was carried by bad smells, so people carried herbs, flowers or like in the song, posies.
    Ashes ashes is for the cremation of bodies being burnt.
    And we all fall down is just we all fall down, that or it’s saying that the people are dead.
    And for the second verse it’s the same, except ashes ashes is turned into atissue atissue.
    Atissue, atissue represents the sound of someone sneezing, and in this case it’s someone getting sick.
    I wonder if anyone actually bothered to read this article that I’ve written XD.

      actually rockabye baby's origin is that this famous lullaby is that it is about the son of King James II of England and Mary of Modena. It is widely believed that the boy was not their son at all, but a child who was brought into the birthing room and passed off as their own in order to ensure a Roman Catholic heir to the throne.

    And,all through the night
    The gay little sprite
    Is working where nobody knows.
    He'll climb a tree,
    So nimble is he,
    His silvery powder he'll shake;
    The window he'll creep,
    And while we're asleep,
    Such wonderful pictures he'll make.
    Across the grass,
    He'll merrily pass
    And change all it's Greenness to white;
    Then home he'll go
    And laugh "HO,HO,HO!
    What fun I had in the night!"

    • @BakaTaco
      @BakaTaco Před 3 lety +22

      I know this comment is old, so maybe you just looked it up, but nonetheless... There's a couple of theories about the song.
      I always thought it was about the steady deterioration of the bridge and the attempts to fix it. I looked into this and found that this may be the case, but there's one other theory I like too. I'll get to that in a moment. Here's what I know about the bridge... I think the Old London Bridge was the only crossing on the Thames in London. It was damaged in a major fire in 1633. Is that the Great Fire of London?? It could be, I forget. In any case, the bridge needed expensive repairs. The new bridge was opened in 1831 and survived until it was replaced in 1972. It was then moved all the way to Arizona.
      So it's possible the rhyme is talking about the construction of the bridge. Build it up with sticks and stones, wood and clay, bricks and mortar, etc, are all mentioned in the more modern lyrics.
      But the song is much older than that, from what I know, which leads me to the next theory...
      It refers to a Viking attack that occurred sometime in the 1000s, where the bridge was burnt down. There's a bit of debate over this though, such as if it was the London Bridge (a very old version of it) that was mentioned, the song written is actually the same as London Bridge is Falling Down, and even if the event occurred at all. Given it was SO long ago, it's really hard to figure that out.
      I hope this information can help you out! There is a bit of history there, but not super dark. Although... There's a rumour that there were human remains in the London Bridge foundations... But I won't talk about that.

    • @jaceyluckie9041
      @jaceyluckie9041 Před 3 lety +1

      the origin of ¨London Bridge is Falling down¨ refers to when people were sealed away inside of the bridge as a sacrifice. the line that states this is forgotten: ¨Off to prison you must go, you must go, you must go. Off to prison you must go. My fair lady.¨ People sealed away over 80 people, alive, into the walls of the bridge. 5 of them were children to bring healthy youth and prosperity. The front of the bridge was used to display the severed heads of famous people that had died. They were placed onto spikes and put onto display for everyone to see. The lamp posts are Nepolions cannons melted down and shaped into the lamp posts. People also committed suicide off the side of the bridge, jumping off headfirst. One lady jumped feet first and broke both her legs before drowning in the water below. It is also said that the spirit of Jack The Ripper could be seen standing at the bottom of the bridge near the water. Though this cannot be proven to be Jack because no one could find out his identity.

    That is literally talking about MURDER!
    Edit: I am going to explain what was believed to happen. Her ‘mother’ was actually her stepmother. She gave her WAY less than 40 whacks. Also, she gave her father WAY less than 41 whacks. Also, it is unknown what ACTUALLY happened to the Borden parents. But hey! That’s just a theory! A NURSERY RHYME HISTORY THEORY!

      Ever heard of this rhyme
      Oranges and lemons 🍋
      Say the bells of St Clement's
      You owe me five farthings
      Say the bells of St Martin's
      When will you pay me?
      Say the bells of Old Bailey
      When I grow rich
      Say the bells of Shoreditch
      And when will that be?
      Say the bells of Stepney
      Oh I do not know
      Say the great bells of Bow
      Here comes a candle
      To light you to bed
      And here comes a chopper
      To chop off your head
      This rhyme is describing public execution in England where before being put to death the church bells announced their time of execution.
      The curious and spectacularly dark end lines: “here comes the candle to light you to bed, here comes the chopper to chop off your head…” probably refers to practices at Newgate prison. The gaol stood on the current site of the Old Bailey, next to St Sepulchre’s church (the bells of Old Bailey in the rhyme). The sound of that church’s “great” tenor bell striking 9am on a Monday morning would signal the start of any hangings due to take place that week. The prisoners on death row were visited the night before by the bell man of St Sepulchre, who would hold a candle in one hand and ring the execution bell in the other. He would then recite a poem;
      All you that in the condemned hole do lie,
      Prepare you for tomorrow you shall die,
      Examine all yourselves, in time repent
      That you may not be to eternal flames be sent
      And when St Sepulchre’s bell in the morning tolls
      The lord above have mercy on your souls.

    Another meaning for Mary Mary quite contrary:
    Mary Mary Quite Contrary - she didn't listen to her brother and father
    How does your garden grow - she struggled to get pregnant meaning nothing 'grew inside of her.
    With silver bells - this is a form of moking as she liked the sounds of bells. Each time someone was killed by her, they rung out
    And cockle shells - her husband Philip of Spain had several affairs
    And pretty maids all in a row - this suggests all of the little girls she supposedly had but died (still births)

    Concerning "Ring around the rosie," a black ring around a red sore was one of the plague's symptoms. Also, the version I'm familiar with, says "atta-shoo...," instead of "ashes." Sneezing was the first sign of infection. So, nighty-night, boys & girls, "Here comes a candle to light you to bed, here comes a chopper, to chop off your head..."

      There are many guesses about this, since Humpty Dumpty was a common jibe at fat men from Tudor times onward. But the author here does give the most probable answer. The big fat cannon that fell from the church tower in Colchester. Charles I was a staunch Catholic, most of England was Protestant and there was the Civil War. The Protestants who supported Parliament (the Roundheads) attacked the King and his Cavaliers at Colchester. Initially the King held the city, because the cannon was wreaking havoc, but the cannon fell and broke apart and Charles ended up losing the war with Parliament and ultimately his life.

    Humpty Dumpty was actually based on real life events, talking about a king (If I remember correctly, it was king Richard the III.). The king had a horse, and the nick name of the horse was "Wall". So once in a war, he was riding his horse Wall, and fell off. He got injured so badly that he died. (Also, I don't remember everything, but I tried to add as many details as I could. Please, correct me, if you know more about the origins.)
