That children's song/nursery rhyme you thought was nice...yeah..its NOT!

[Lightning Strykez!]

You forgot to add Rock-a-bye-baby on your list.

It's not just nursery rhymes but fairy tales are scary and dark and twisted too.

I was just getting ready to mention that.

Rock-A-Bye-Baby is about murder. How can a child sleep well at night with dreams of falling out of a tree to its death?

The melody is soothing but the words... It's like the crazy mom is telling the baby, "Sleep, you little brat! Sleep or I'll kill ya!!!"

or singing "hush little baby" as she slowly puts a pillow over the babys head

My mommy never sang me that song. I feel... deprived... and poor.

My mom changed the last line of that song to "and down will come angels to catch baby's fall".

If I remember my Snow White correctly, the Prince's kiss didn't wake the girl up; the dwarfs dropped her coffin, effectively performing a Ghetto Heimlich, popping the apple piece out of her throat. Then Snow forced the Queen to to dance at their wedding... in iron shoes recently smithed, and still blisteringly hot.

she danced to death. In a very early version the prince was married to snow white then she died and he remarries. She comes back to life and all three of them live happily ever after together! not so innocent

Awww...:heart:

However. Falling out of a tree and into the arms of the supernatural still qualifies as a traumatic experience though. LOL

Dem Bones is based on a passage from Ezekiel.

As a child, how often did you pay attention to the actual lyrics of a song or nursery rhyme? Most of the time, its just the harmony that children memorize. But as you get older, you start to realize, "Hey...that's a pretty messed up song". So here's a few gems that pretty much changed my perspective on innocence.

There was an old lady...

Ring around the "rosies"

You are my sunshine ...my wife pointed out that its actually a sad song and that when it was originally written, it was not intended to be a children's song.

Alouette ...cute song...about killing a bird


feel free to contribute more childhood memory shattering pieces.

Those are pretty disturbing

 

[Colossal Spoons]

The Ring Around the Rosie one is sweet. Saw a video about it

The Little Match Girl is pretty ****ed up too. The girl dies at the end.

Here's one that come into being around the 1830's. It was a little rhyme to teach children how gently handle a newborn kitten:

I love little *****,
Her coat is so warm,
And if I don't hurt her,
She'll do me no harm.
So I'll not pull her tail,
Nor drive her away,
But ***** and I,
Very gently will play.
