Now that song is stuck in my head! Most children's songs/nursery rhymes has gross 0rigins. Like Ring Around the Rosies is a warning about the plague.

Ring around the rosies (red circular shaped rash)
Pocket full of posies (to try and cover up the smell)
Ashes, ashes (you have to burn everything)
We all fall down (everyone dies)

According to Snopes that's a myth.

They're all like that!

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary ("bloody" Mary Tudor)
How does your garden grow? (garden=cemetaries, with growing amounts of protestant martyrs in them)
With silver bells and cockle shells (silver bells=thumbscrews which literally screwed your thumb and crushed it, cockle shells=a genital torture device)
And pretty maids all in a row (maids=Maiden, a kind of guillotine!)

Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure -

"Put the in the Iron Maiden" (a torture device)
(Excellent!)
"Execute them!"

I hear that most Fairy Tails are based on some sort of (at the time) current news. They cleaned them up some what, but are still pretty graffic and scary for children. The Grimm Bros. are a fine example.

Tout va mieux en français. Everything sounds better in French.

It's just a fact, Jacques.
