    "Pocket full of posies" could also refer to the fact that Plague Doctors would stuff the 'beak' of their masks with posies or other strongly scented flowers to avoid the smell of rotting flesh and death.

    • @aidandonnelly3022
      @aidandonnelly3022 6 лет назад +38

      They didn’t stuff their masks with posies to block the smell it was because they thought it stopped them catching the plague

    • @romillynewman8562
      @romillynewman8562 6 лет назад +29

      No In the Middle Ages they thought diseases like the plague was spread through bad smells. Doctors stuffed the beaks and ordinary people wrapped flowers in tissues and breathed through them.

      boonski it actually had nothing to do with any outbreak. The words to that particular nursery rhyme were written a couple of centuries before the plague even occurred. There are documents with the lyrics in them that predate it.

    it's okay because the kids are too dumb to know while they're still kids anyway.

    • @fredericksaxton9782
      @fredericksaxton9782 5 лет назад +4

      Those songs aren't for humour. Those songs were made for mostly facts and to make fun of certain kinds of people like jews and slaves. Kids are not stupid just cause they don't know the dark meanings of fun sounding songs, most adults wouldn't even know unless they were told!
      But again, either way, no child is dumb, they aren't developed. That doesn't make them stupid.
      And no it doesn't make for an "awesome reveal" I'd feel horrified if I celebrated the tourture and death of others. I like dark humour but those songs aren't funny nor humerous.

      MrTantraMan Yeah, my late Dad had refused to sing me the traditional lullaby's or tell me the regular fairy tails. He even told me why. So he made up sweet ones from his childhood and real life bed time stories as I did with my 2, daughters, only I drew pictures while telling the stories or singing the lullaby's lol!

    • @furrydonkey5056
      @furrydonkey5056 6 лет назад +13

      L. Medrano actually if you watch the conjuring 2 the song goes “there was a crooked man who walked a crooked mile. He found a crooked sixpence piece upon a crooked stile. He bought a crooked cat who caught a crooked mouse and they all lived together in a little crooked house” my whole family forbids this song to be sung because I was on a walk with my parents and began singing this song on a path about a mile or 2 long and I had never heard this song before in my life. So overall the crooked man is a really weird song with a creepy background saying if you should recite the song/ poem (fully) out loud he should kill all that live on you premises. So lesson don’t sing it

    Groen is gras,
    Groen is gras,
    Onder mijne voeten.
    Ik heb verloren mijn beste vrind,
    Ik zal hem zoeken moeten.
    Hee! daar plaats gemaakt voor de jonge dame.
    En de koekoek op het dak,
    Zingt een lied op zijn gemak.
    Oohh! Mijn lieve Auchestein,
    Deze dame zal het zijn.
    Googel it!!!
    Love you Matt!!!

      The American version doesn't have dust in it. I didn't know what Matt was talking about when he said dust to dust because I've only heard ashes ashes we all fall down.

    A version of ring around the roses I heard/sang as a child went like this: “ring around the roses, a pocket full of posies, atishoo, atishoo, we all fall down.” I didn’t come across the “ashes, ashes” version until I was much older (the “atishoo, atishoo” line references the sneezing which was another symptom of the plague). Would be interested to hear if anyone else grew up with this version: after we fell down, we would say “down at the bottom of the deep blue sea, catching fish for daddy’s tea, a one, two three” whilst tapping our toes and then come up again. I grew up in the Aberdeenshire area of Scotland (which is a fishing area in some cities), so would also be interested to hear if anyone else did this second part as well.

    The song is about a friar who has overslept and is urged to wake up and sound the bell for the matins, the midnight or very early morning prayers for which a monk would be expected to wake. The original was frere Blaise changed to Jaques for obvious reasons.

    For ring around the rosies. The two versions I know are the one you mentioned with “we all fall down” but I also know one that states “we all fall dead” which is less than subtle.
