@smashin The song is pretty catchy. I think the writers were trying to make fun of nursery rhymes and other folk songs that have random phrases put together for the purpose of making them rhyme. That's why the song doesn't make a lot of sense. And often, no one questions the lyrics of nursery rhymes because we're too busy singing the catchy tune. We often sing songs without realizing what we're singing. Clever, actually, on their part.
This song comes from the tale "The Tailor of Gloucester" about a tailor who saved mice, who went on to complete a garmnet when he was too sick to do so himself, allowing him to find wealth to live.
This was an exaggeration of a real life event, without mice, and was morphed into a "tall tale." The song itself is based on the real song "The Tailor and the Mice" Using the same rhyming scheme: "The tailor had a tall silk hat. The mouse he ate it, fancy that." for instance. Very Obscure reference.
@mangoliouskiwi I think this episode is making fun of nursery rhymes and some folk songs. Some phrases are put together for the purpose of making them rhyme, but they actually make no sense. This sounds like a typical nursery rhyme, but it doesn't make any sense. We also love to try decipher meanings, but sometimes there is no meaning.

The Tailor loved his mice? He put them in a pie, chased them around with a fork and gave them drugs. Yer, loving.

I'm so confused... Does the tailor like them or want to eat them? The feelings are kind of mutually exclusive... @_@

@astep5489 By the way he keeps sticking his touge out, I think it's obvious his brain is smaller than even Pinky's.
markdpane 1 year ago
@astep5489 Not if the tailor's crazy they aren't, and looking at his expression... I'd say that's a definite possibility; if not a certainty.
