[edit] A Rebus?
I don't see how this rhyme is a rebus. I can't see any pictures in the rhyme, so how can it use pictures to represent words?
Am I missing something?

[edit] French Origins?
The article claims the origins of the rhyme are unknown.
I was led to belive my some comments Flanders and Swan made in a recording of one thier rveues that the tune often used for it was French in origin (La Gaule)? would need a citation though..

appears to be a quote in the Flanders and Swan production that say's the tune is french in origin, although it could be an intentional joke... ShakespeareFan00 23:22, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Korn's Version not Profane
I changed the claim that Korn's version of this nursery rhyme has profane words to say "it talks about the more sinister meanings behind nursery rhymes." I can not find anywhere that says Korn's lyrics have any profanity and all lyrics pages I have found do not list any. The lyrics are a little distorted at times but they seem to be the same words used in the nursery rhymes. They might have used profane words in live shows (most bands put a little something extra for the crowd) but not in the released version. Billy Nair 19:54, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
