Ring around the rosie

[nanerbeet]

@gwp19 That's the modern urban myth originating in the 50s. Folklore scholars discount that myth since the explanation only appears in 50s, the symptoms don't particularly match the Plague, the older versions of the song match less well with the plague while modern versions match more closely, and the 'fall down' was originally not a literal falling down, but a curtsy or other bending movement common in dramatic singing games.

@pokemonkiller20 Actually the song is about the black death aka the plague and read my comment bellow

[gwp19]

Love how people think it's cute but when u listen to the words it's about the black death that killed 1/3 of Europe long time ago pockets full of posies was to hide the smell of the horrible stench that was wat came with the black death we all fall down then UR dead I am never letting my kid sing this....

[xpiZZaz]

not to be rude but ring around the rosy is based on the plague in Europe that kill 25 million of the population. consider that next time you video tape it

[pokemonkiller20]

@xpiZZaz no its not based on any plague whats so ever. It was made by children before the plague started and its lyrics happened to match the plague.
