[mori]

when i was a child (and i suppose i still am ) i'd love to fall asleep after my mommy would read me a bed time story, and my favorites were goldilocks and the 3 bears, jack and the beanstalk and others i prob couldnt remember since i would fall asleep b4 my mommy could even read them.

but now im older, ive re-visited these so called 'fairy tales' and it got me thinking - "what the hell-okitty were these stories about and what exactly are they trying to portray to such young minds?" well let me give you an example:

for instance-

Geogie Porgie

georgie porgie puddin and pie,
kiss the girls and made them cry
when the boys went out to play
georgie porgie ran away.

to my understanding, this georgie porgie character is nothing but.... a PIMP?! or some deranged pervert? and im a bit suspicious of what exaclty they were trying to define with 'puddin' and 'pie' O__o

now this tune is sung peacefully while rocking a baby to sleep...

rock a bye baby

Rock a bye baby
On the tree top
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bow breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby
Cradle and all.

.... did the baby like..... die?! O__o why put a baby on a tree top?

lets review more shall we-

Humpty Dumpty

“All the kings horses and all the kings men….”

And what would the horses do exactly?

Hey Diddle-diddle
who made this trippy nursery rhyme? But what got my attention long time ago is the end part of this song: and the dish ran away with the spoon
shouldn’t it be the spoon running away with a fork? Who cares, I believe it was mother goose on LSD.

POP goes the weasel

“something something…. The monkey chase the weasel… The monkey thought 'twas all in fun … POP goes the weasel

and WHY exactly did the weasel go “POP”? Yes we many of us knows what monkeys do for fun, and god only knows what he’s doing to that weasel.

Rub-a-dub-dub

“…3 men in a tub – the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker”

enough said -__-“

I love little p****y
I’m not making that up, and nor shall I say any more about that one either.

other misc. stuff I’ve noticed:

- why do they play the “jack be nibble jack be quick” song on a limbo? Obviously we are going under the stick, which isn’t even a candle.

- What IS the moral of Goldilocks and the 3 bears? Wouldn’t it make more sense if the bears ate her instead, hence making the moral “crime doesn’t pay”

- The Pide Piper, supposedly the greatest piccolo or flute player could have been better off being a musician or composer (and make money that way) if he can attract rats and little children to fall of a cliff. Now he’s a no good murderer!

- Jack trading a cow for “magic beans” just clearly shows he’s a dumbass. I don’t care what really happened after that, just take a second to think - what you’d do if you’re in that situation.

See what you’ve done Mother Goose! You are CORRUPTING people like myself and the younger generation of chibi mori’s with your no good wholesome book of tunes and rhymes! Well I think you have to be taught a lesson…




Take THAT you old fool!

And as for that goose you ride on…


ERRRR!!! Yeh whos laughing now goose!


*no humans or animals were harmed during the making of my thread. Only fictional ones you wouldn’t care less.

[chula]

LOL ... i think georgie porgie's in the closet

[Ice]

I think ring a ring of rosies was also about the black plague.

Another good one is the

it's raining, it's pouring
the old man is snoring
he bumped his head
and went to bed
and couldn't wake up in the morning

Nursery rhymes are messed up.

[popolala]

^ .. hmm.. yeah its a mess.. that sounds like he's dead or fainted! didnt thought of that.. hmm

i think child-mind wouldnt had gave it much thought! ..

[x SaRaNg HaE x]

We were pretty ignorant as little kids.

[woaini715]

lmaoXd. interesting topic. i guess i overlooked those stuff when i was young. hahahahaha. and i like ur mother goose pics.

[Ryskie]

Mother Goose ryhmes were basically made up for entertainment... Probably to teach kids a moral in the guise of a fun ryhme, and althou it's fun to try to guess thier meaning, it's basically on the surface.
Like Georgie Porgie is about sexual harrassment, The Three Bears is about not going where you don't belong, there's morals for all of them...

But the Grimm fairytales are worse. I grew up on those, and they're just creepy. I used to think they were neat when I was little, but now I can't believe my parents used to put me to bed while reading some of them >.<

[suki_*]

^^^

ooo i want to hear some grimm fairytales!!!

i think as long as it rhymned and sounded cute they used it... haha

[xx1nonlix]

LOL. you really analylized everything.
as kids, i guess we don't even give a crap about the words or the real meaning
it's just that it has a good beat and very happy and cherry.
Maybe, whoever made these fairytales are perverted but very musical? :]
and people used to say childhoods are innocent, my butt!

[GOOMBA]

i used to love singing these

[predator]

i used to love singing these

[butterflyeffect]

[asdfjkl;fdsajkl;]

[Melyxcious]

Ooh... I loved the Grimms Fairytales

But for Mother Goose rhymes... I never understood them lmao o_o..

But now I do >.>;

[uruchai]

In my English lecture, we studied about some nursery rhymes. i forgot the term my prof used but they actually portray historical events/figures.

eg. the ring-a-ring o'roses, a pocket full of posies... that was supposedly talking about the Great Plague in London. Humpty Dumpty was about King Richard of England [or was it King George O_o]. there was even a nursery rhyme about Marie Antoinette of France that I can't just remember what.

so yeah, many of these nursery rhymes contain a dark story in it.

----
some of the "observations & analysis" above made me laugh...

[Izzie]

LOL!

wowie, never realized until now XD

[chewy_cookie]

LOL...they're like some of the Disney images.

[CM_X_69]

Humpty Dumpty was about King Richard of England [or was it King George O_o].

so yeah, many of these nursery rhymes contain a dark story in it.

Yeah Humpty Dumpty was about King Richard the third or something like that.

"And all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again."

It was rumored that in a battle King Richard was hacked into pieces.

Rock a bye baby
On the tree top
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bow breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby
Cradle and all.


We live in a sick, sick world.

[pinguvxd]
