[bostonian1701]

[TailsDoll478]

I'm actually here to comment about the comments.

It's funny yet believable how almost everyone who has commented has a disturbing or emo name. XP

[huMusicMonster]

@TailsDoll478 including yours, Mr. Tails Doll :) welcome to the group!

[TailsDoll478]

@huMusicMonster Lol, thank you, but I'm a female.

[NavySealWannabe67]

@TailsDoll478 not me NavySEALwannabe67 isn't emo or disturbing and techally all music and everyone are emo in their own way.

[Disur3edCa]

Ok so the nursery rhyme '' ring around the rosies pocket full of posies ashes ashes we all fall down'' was base on the bubonic plague that killed 75 million people in Europe ,but what does ''nick nack paddy wask give a dog a bone this old man came rolling home mean?

[huMusicMonster]

@Disur3edCa ive heard somewhere its about and old man and a starving dog and the old man killed himself so the dog could eat

[slipknotrulesjackass]

@Disur3edCa it means a old hobo man gave a dog a bone and went rolling home

[CorruptBadger]

@Disur3edCa I believe it was an old english phrase, but over time has developed into a nursery rhyme.

[ACluelessKid]

@Disur3edCa

Incorrect. Ring Around The Rosies came out centuries after the plague.

[CartmanishRunescape]

@ACluelessKid That's why he/she said, it "was based on the bubonic plague"

WAS BASED!

[ACluelessKid]

@CartmanishRunescape

And as I said, there's no way it was based on it. It's just a common myth it was based on the plague.

[CartmanishRunescape]

@ACluelessKid You didn't exactly specify that, in any way...

[2kornrock]

@Disur3edCa if u give a dog a bone he will kill/bring home an old man?

[kitkatgatson]

Dear all haters, Lke KoRn says in their song Faget SUCK A DICK AND LIKE IT

Shut The Fuck Up And Listen To The Music.

Sorry. Excuse My Language.

[TheBeastOfTheHarlot]

Kind a reminds me of Nightmare on Elm Street poem... Five six grab your crusifix...

[MrTwinkied]

[rockin2024]

[cjdreas]

16 ppl can go to hell XD

[xxDeadlyDECAYxx]

Ring around the rosie is about throwing flowers on a grave when someone dies. "We all fall down" because once you're dead, you lay down, and then sometimes when you die, you are burned, hence,"Ashes, ashes, we all fall down".

London Bridge Is Falling Down is about a bridge falling on a woman, the woman is being warned. I don't know if it fell on her or what, but yeah.

Knick Knack Paddie Whack is most likely child abuse, or violence to someone, hence ''paddie whack". And I don't know the rest.

[Slacker1221]

@xxDeadlyDECAYxx I was told ring around the rosies, pocket full of posies, ashes ashe4we all fall down was a black plague reference. I forget particularly where the ring around the rosie part was referring to, I think maybe something about the skin? not sure. pocket full of posies was to cover the smell of death and we all fall down was to the fact that everyone was literally falling down since millions died from it in such a short time period. atleast that was what I gathered from it.

[animestop95]

@Slacker1221 the ring was talking about the black ring they got around their necks

[Slacker1221]

@animestop95 yes thats it thank you

[animestop95]

@Slacker1221 also the ashes ashes part is when they burned down Europe to try to get ride of the disease

[Slacker1221]

@animestop95 that too :p

[bluefireandvivi]

Rock Music and Bag pipes = Awesome Sauce

[bandfreak457]

bagpipes a sign that a song is badass

[ErikkChattman]

RIng around the rosie is about the Black Plaque ._.

But what are the other ones about? xD

[BriiSims]

Ive never heard the full song. At the end I expected him to go "A Boneeee!" really loud. XD

[jth130]

i love the beginning. the bagpipes are amazing i want bagpipes played at my funeral

[XxXLoveKillsYouXxX]

In school I had to write, "My personal hero." I picked Jonathen Davis because of all the shit he's been through and how he's pulled it all off. He is my personal hero, and I wish that someday I will be as strong as him.

Don't let anyone bring you down, Jonathen.. Be strong like you always have been.

[noobrifle111]

@XxXLoveKillsYouXxX If he is your hero, at least you could have wrote his name down correctly...

[AnotherDamnJew]

@XxXLoveKillsYouXxX Queer, be your own hero.

[lolsmiley81]

Korn is the only band that can make Nursery Ryhmes Into A song!!!

[REIREI29]

15 parents disliked this vid, due to the fact that their children are now shunning nursery rhymes and embracing Korn's music instead......

Ya'll Wanna Single say fuck that. Fuck that, FUCK THAT SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!

[XxShadowHammerxX]

cant believe they made kids sing part of this D: poor kids

[TheChad6789]

He can sing it as dark as he wants but they're still nursery rhymes. None of them have a dark meaning to a kid. Kids don't know about the plague and such. But it's still a great song.

[ErikkChattman]

@TheChad6789 Just because kids don't know about that doesn't mean that nursery rhymes are dark... No one said that Nursery Rhymes would be "light and fluffy"... Like Humpty Dumpty.. That one is obviously about a drug addicted person who's life has gone no where and then no one could fix him. ._.

[ErikkChattman]

@TheChad6789 XD I do it because I love her ;D.... But Korn and Metallica and Marilyn Manson and... a bunch of toher abnds/ people ar ebetter :P

What were you going to say .-.

[TheChad6789]

@ErikkChattman I removed my comment because I don't want to sound mean. Not sure how it came off but was trying to be funny but maybe it was bad taste. I dunno.

[xXAtelophobiaXx]

I don't get the one about give a dog a bone v.v

[REIREI29]

@xXAtelophobiaXx I think that songs was about animal abuse......Don't quote me on that, cause I'm not sure......

[TheChad6789]

I like bagpipes what can I say.

[8DeathTheWoman8]

As 3 blind Mice.*

At the end

[8DeathTheWoman8]

I always thought Nursery Rhymes where Violent.

I mean come on...

3 blind mice. 3 blind mice.

See how they run. See how they run

They all ran into the farmers wife.

She cut off their tails with a Carving knife.

Have you ever seen such a sight?

3 Blind Mice.

[rawrskittl3z]

i simply love how this was my lullaby

[jmilan97]

the 15 ppl who disliked this didnt understand the lyrics

[Kingdomfrog]

my brother use to play this song all the time when i was little and i loved it because it had all my favorite rhymes in it hahaha

[MrsFreakYou]

I never realized any f*cked up things about nursery rhymes until i read these comments..

.. Learn somethin' new every day.

[washa205]

This song reminds me of my brother for some reason its so scary just like him o.0

[EvThreadNerd]

If only I LEARNED THIS VERSION IN K-5!!

[xXkatherineXx01]

Korn is about the only band who can pull the bagpipes off. ;3

[Bassmastar12]

@xXkatherineXx01 Not really because Skiltron and DropKick murpheys can do it as well but Korn still do a good job

[corey1690]

@xXkatherineXx01 and don't forget all your celtic punk-rock bands! ;D

[FloydFan621]

@xXkatherineXx01 Other than Korn and AC/DC there are none

[himynameisfdsa]

Up to this day everybody I've asked (over 20) thinks that nursery rhymes are normal.

[Thexoactressox]

Ok...I understand how the Ashes Ashes we all fall down rhyme is bad, but i don't understand the others

[Firewing3888]

@Thexoactressox Ring Around the Rosie : The Black Death (Bubonic Plague)

One two buckle my shoe: Slavery

Londen Bridges falling down: War

Nick nack paddey wack gave a dog a bone: (not 100% sure) Was eaten by the dog he fed the bone to

Mary had a little lamb: Racism

;D

(Not in the song)Jack and Jill went up the hill,to fetch a pale of water,Jack fell down and broke his "Crown" (Head)

[Thexoactressox]

@Firewing3888 Thanks

[Firewing3888]

@Thexoactressox anytime

[almightydeity]

Ring around the rosie is a song about the black plague. "pocket full of posies" is what the living did to not have to smell the horridness of the dead bodies and excrement in the street "ashes ashes we all fall down" is of burning the diseased bodies and the plague killed so quickly people just fell down at random.

[FalseProsecutioner]

Into my childhood their spoon fed!

[Clicheless]

Here's the funny thing..ya know how we as kids make up fucked up songs for inappropriate shit...well thats all that most nursery rhymes are!!...I mean "Ring around the rosey" is about war!!...A "pocket full of posey" is what you throw on caskets...or the dead...So theres def a correlation between the shit we go thru as kids and these fucked up songs...

Still think its one of the sexiest songs that I've every heard though...that slide is sooo sexy...its like getting off! Love KORN!!

[Firewing3888]

@Clicheless Hehe,auctually, "Ring around the Rosies" is the first sign of haveing that Black Death (aka Bubonic Plague), "Pocket full of posies" is during the period of the Black Death,people would put herbs and such in their pockets because they would smell so horrible from haveing the plague. "Ashes,Ashes" is the people would burn the the bodies of the the deceased. "We all fall down" is when people would drop dead from the plague.Not war ;)

[PseudoMartyr]

"This is madness" heard sang backwards in the background in the chorus :D

[vaultboy4561]

The lyrics are like roarshach blot tests, you are supposed to see stuff in the lyrics, if that makes sense.

[xXBassBox28Xx]

whats so bad about one two buckle my shoe? or nick nack paddy wack?

[spy725]

@xXBassBox28Xx "buckle my shoe" is detailed as a mechanism to learn counting, and the only thing I could find to be 'wrong' with nick nack paddy wack is the reference to irish people being violent, other than that, wikipedia doeson't supply much else

[xXBassBox28Xx]

@spy725 Thanks..

[Firewing3888]

@xXBassBox28Xx (Pfft,spamming this video telling info about the stuf said in this xD

One two buckle my shoe is about Slavery and Nick nack paddy wacky is about the guy giving a dog a bone and the man didn't have any more bones to feed the dog so the dog at him and he had to role home (not 100% sure about that one)

[ulikepiencrap]

------> Everyone go to kidnap the sandy claus. If you like this song youll love that song.

[Justin74151]

1:09 for the start of the real song.

[5000cam]

@Justin74151 Dude, it wouldn't be

[5000cam]

@Justin74151 Dude, it wouldn't be Shoots and Ladders without the bagpipe intro

[Furryfury809]

whoa

[MRSTRIPES47]

no matter how you put it... society still gonna fuck you in the ass.

[TheEvilteddy27]

I always knew nursery rhymes are evil

[GLoBeTree1]

@TheEvilteddy27 i just googled this song on wiki and just ring around the rosies is a little dark the rest are nothing :(

[ryleanoahsmom]

i always thot that at the of the song he said (white trash grown) not 3 bags full. and duh the original korn had 5 members when everybody left the band sucked i only like oldschool korn like this. how old r u children u hear korn with skillrex and think its cool. thats not cool at all

[DOOM3PLAY3R]

I didnt know KoRn had 5 members...

[ShadowMetalBowser64]

@DOOM3PLAY3R now they have 4. Head left in 2005 and David in 2006, but now Ray Luzier joined the band in 2009 as the new drummer

[DOOM3PLAY3R]

@ShadowMetalBowser64 Ohh alright. thnx man

[Thingthingmaster999]

Right when he started singing I ran for my mp3 to download this

KoRn ftw :D

[420evaa]

[KronicKing42069]

Bag pipes and rock music = epicness

[TwoPlayerROBLOXCast]

@KronicKing42069 Its actually Nu-Metal, but you are right.

[mangaread123]

@KronicKing42069 Rock? This is metal! :3

[mangos420]

@KronicKing42069 bag pipes alone kick ass

[shaeeatsdinos]

<3 I love this song. :333 As soon as I have a kid, I'm gonna blast this through my house and hope my child doesn't grow up as a goodie-2-shoes :P

[tobimadara24]

good for christmas songs this yr :)

[SolitaireMasta]

Actually Ring around the rosie is based off of the black plague. So that's an example of how dark nursery rhymes can be.

[JM1990ify]

Perfection. The beginning reminded me of a funeral. Then when the beat started, it made me imagine a Military funeral, with Honor Guard doing their volleys and a Chaplain. Then finishing their salute, doing the gun spinning, and marching off. That's how I'd want my funeral, with this song specifically.

[NudelUngen]

the low voice in the background in the chorus is a backwards recording of jonathan saying "this is madness" over and over again.

[xXcaleberXx]

The video for this would be epic :O



[frozenbloodbullets]

@xXcaleberXx there is a vid for it....

[epicgirl408145]

:DDD i will not let me children geret brainwashed by the nursery ryhmes KORNS version only!!! :DD

[tobimadara24]

[HARMSWAY94]

[lucasoil48]

[jackof4356]

They are showing you just how evil and dark nursery rhymes are read the lyrics they are brutal.... O.o

[alanacolleenpark]

@jackof4356 so are they saying others are evil, or are the the evil ones, i dont get it exactly? :)

[jackof4356]

The baggpipes are a omish to Willam Wallis the bad ass scoutmen to ever live... and he was Chuck Norris's dad so yeah that too.

[zeuszx]

just look up the meanings, for instance the ring around the rosy nursery rhyme is about the black plague, the ring around the rosy is a reference to a sore you would get when you first got the sickness

[BBProductions1999]

Hehe, I had my friends over, and they had never heard the song before, and they were saying "this is crap" so I told them to stand near the speakers, when the drums started they s*** themsleves lol.

[zonfire8]
