The Creepiest Nursery Rhymes from History

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
The sound of children singing alone can be quite scary (see the Poltergeist main theme, or the 1-2 Freddy's coming for you song from A Nightmare on Elm Street, but when coupled with certain weird and creepy nursery rhymes, the shudder factor rises exponentially. Let's take a closer look at some of these disturbing nursery rhymes, and perhaps you'll think twice before teaching them to your kids. The Rock-a-Bye baby one was especially interesting because the writer did explain this may serve as a warning to the proud and ambitious who climb to high. Clearly indicating that at least this one was sociopolitical. I would guess it relates to a watershed moment during that year (Entick v Carrington 1765) that limited the power of state and establish civil liberties for all, including the common man, and eventually lead to the 4th amendment of the US constitution.

When I was 5 (1990) I could tell the entire book of shock-headed Peter's stories. They are written in rhymes, which I kinda was humming and singing to myself - and ended up being the creepy kid in Kindergarten because I really liked them but it scared other kids with the moral sense that bad behavioral has consequences till death. I wasn't allow to bring the book anymore. - Also it is considered dark psychology today as well and banned from Kindergartens. : D

Ring around the rosie, pockets full of posies, achu! Achu! We ALL fall down As a kid you never really think about the words of these rhymes, and if you did, you could change the words to make your own rhyme with the same tune. Maybe Andrew Dice Clay was expressing his frustration with cultural mediums? Why do we hang on to relics? Life is too fun, and too short, as children know, to wallow in morbidity and sorrow.

Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal!
Eating KRAFT MAC & CHEESE Unicorn Shapes and drinking Twinings Pure Peppermint Tea. while watching this Weird History video!
From the Weird History video How Mac And Cheese Became an All-American Dish

I seem to recall London Bridge also had buildings on it once upon a time, but the sheer weight, along with the great fire, essentially rendered it condemned. At least, that's what I remember from Disney's special on three nursery rhymes with dark origins.

The nursery rhyme Rock A Bye Baby is a horrible song to sing to a child. That s child abuse with a capital C: putting a child in a basket and then putting the baby in the top of a tree and waiting for a strong wind to blow the baby out of the tree.

5: 40 I remember seeing Adele take a blindfold challenge where she had to touch food with her hands to identify it.
She identified the Full English Breakfast immediately and was excited it was there!

Weird History do you think you can do the History of original fairytales from the Brothers Grimm. I d liked to hear your take on the dark fairytales from Snow White to Hansel and Gretel even Cinderella

5: 11 I saw My Fair Lady (1964) with my friend and neighbor (who was a travel nurse) in Charleston, South Carolina.
We also watched the classics Lost Horizon (1937) and Doctor Zhivago (1965.

Nursery rhymes are said, verses in my head
Into my childhood, they're spoon-fed
Hidden violence revealed, darkness that seems real
Look at the pages that cause all this evil

Tom, I don't know if you personally read these but you should do a weird history video about the time someone else narrated a weird history video and the comments went crazy.

I ve actually heard Mary Mary Quite Contrary was inspired by Mary, Queen of Scotts. Or more specifically, her execution and the events leading up to it.

Most fairy tales, fables, nursery rhymes and classic children's stories are frightening, lol. They're mostly supposed to be lessons to teach children.

I went to an estate sale with my mother and found the illustrated book Mother Goose: Keepsake collection in perfect condition!
It was only 3!

0: 02 Reminds me of the book The History of the Alphabet: From Egyptian to Modern-Day Cursive by Teresa Wald (2016)
Such a fasinating book!

The Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale was kind of creepy to me when I was a 5 year old kid in the early 1960s. What is that fairytale really all about
reply

This was the worst episode ever. Every rhyme was a guess. Random stuff. Nothing worth mentioning. It might have come from this or this or this.
reply

Got to be honest here. If you want the best nursery rhymes ever created, just listen to some vintage Andrew Dice clay. Hickory dickery dock.

Jack and Jill went up the hill, they each had a buck and a quarter.
Jill came down with two and a half, think they went up for water?

reply

Cant believe ring around the rosy wasnt mentioned. That one stemmed from the salem witch trials and burning people at the stake.
