I do not think that nursery rhyme means
what you think it means let's talk about
that
good mythical morning today we tackle
nursery rhymes that's right the
cornerstone of every child's sweet
innocent childhood
well those sweet little innocent Nursery
Rhymes actually it turns out many of
them have a dark underbelly the origins
can be downright nasty bizarre weird and
today we're gonna find out who knows
those origins better as we play that
nursery rhyme means what aka you kiss
your mother goose with that mouth okay
so we're going to present nursery rhymes
to one another and you get points for
how close you are to the actual origin
story the one with the most points at
the end wins a baby Rhett you're going
first explain this Mary Mary quite
contrary how does your garden grow with
silver bells and cockleshells in Pretty
Maids all in a row huh okay so sweet
this one is not about the past this one
is about the future it is prophetic
apocalyptic if you will yeah Mary is a
figure that will rise up against the
government contrary and she will be the
first person in history to figure out
how to grow actual people the key is
cockle shells silver bells is how you
know they're ready and yes they are all
women she grows pretty maids she grows
only women are women in the future I'm
searching my details of the correct
answer and the only overlap between that
one and yours is the word mary show well
I got something Rob Mary contrary is
actually Queen Mary the first aka Bloody
Mary who had a lot of people killed in
her garden which is a graveyard using
her torture devices which were silver
bells cockle shells and the maiden witch
beheaded people that makes a lot more um
but just for sheer creativity and being
future for and I'm gonna give you 25
points whoa all right lay one on me
here's your's Jack and Jill went up the
hill to fetch a pail of wine
of course Jack fell down and broke his
crown and Jill came tumbling after okay
okay right off the bat Jack has a crown
because he is king Jackson of the Scots
and he why is he so thirsty because
he's got some sort of like stomach bug
and queen Jill's got it taken to the
hospital up the hill but hold on don't
drive so fast you're going over the hill
you going over the edge and we're both
dying and it's it's uh it's a sad ending
it is he was just dehydrated why you got
to go through over the railing Jill okay
a dehydrated King link that's not
correct
the origins really there's a actually
the origins are disputed so I'm gonna
give you two boys like a second but
basically there's a town in England
kilmer stone that says that there was an
actual Jack and Jill Jill got pregnant
out of wedlock Oh big no-no then she
died and nope didn't Jack died then Jill
died after they had the baby I don't
know why this is a legend you want to
remember but the kid lived and had to
deal with this Nursery Rhyme but there
is a disputed origin that says that it
has something to do with a king so just
for that I'm gonna give you 38 points
Oh oh yeah okay thank you for that anti
child unwed lock Nursery Rhyme yes I get
it
here's another one a Rockabye Baby in
the treetop when the wind blows the
cradle will rock when the bough breaks
the cradle will fall and down will come
baby cradle and off this one always
seemed oddly horrific to me but does the
darkness go even deeper before we put
stars on Christmas trees we put babies
uh they call him Christmas babies you're
on the right track put them at the top
of the tree and all Christmas trees were
outdoors before homes exist existed yeah
and so the wind would blow and the baby
with calm Valley Billy oh this is really
working and tell the wind blew too hard
the tree breaks the baby dies actually
the number one cause of infant mortality
in the old world Christmas babies what
yeah
all right very festive answer but wrong
King James ii of england could not
produce an heir he couldn't help make a
baby so they snuck a baby into the
birthing chamber and said it was his
baby the wind and the cradle falling is
the predicting of his undoing which came
true he was deposed in 1688 historical
that was boring yours is great I'm gonna
give you at least 43 points
because let's replace that one right now
okay here you go link rub-a-dub-dub
three men in a tub and who do you think
they who do you think were there the
butcher the baker the candlestick maker
and all of them gone to the fair okay
all of them gone to the fair this is the
first World's Fair in 1851 where they
unveiled the first prototype of what the
hot tub
step right up people it's a tub big
enough for three grown men of various
professions here you go
and people would buy tickets and look at
this it would a little fact just just a
little look like you mean a candlestick
maker
went back home started his own business
and he is none other than Edward Jacuzzi
himself great story entirely wrong the
earliest version of this run actually
was three mains in a tub that's right I
like that with water in the 14th century
there was a traveling show
there were travelling shows in which
scantily clad if not completely naked
ladies getting clean would perform I
guess in tubs but you would buy ticket
to that you had to buy ticket to it and
the butcher the baker and the
candlestick maker sort of the you know
the the pillars of society if you will
work well there at the fair
scam don't got fair right there is a tub
it was probably at least lukewarm yeah
and you bought a ticket 51 points link
dad ulation
oh man I almost almost nailed that one
three blind mice three blind mice see
how they run see how they run they all
ran after the farmer's wife who cut off
their tails with a carving knife you
ever see such a sight in your life as
three blind buys link these are not mice
these were men I'm not talking about
Lenny I'm talking about these are due to
her after the farmer's wife and this was
a time in history the 1400s or so where
every guy had a rat tail and what you
would do to shame a man and embarrass
him is to cut his rat tail off she did
not want to commit infidelity she cut
the rat tails off that gave the signal
to their wives these jokers are trying
to go around my back and they blinded
them there
I've blinded them so this is just three
dudes that had rat tails that's alright
that's nothing to see here
and you're illa you're right about three
dudes the farmer's wife is Bloody Mary
back at it again with the white vans rum
no packet again with the executions
three mice were three Anglican bishops
that she did not cut their tails off I
didn't have tails she just burned him at
the stake that's it I guess that does
get rid of your tail um man I love rat
tails in a good origin story don't you
man so imma give you 51 points oh that's
your oh thanks for that
did you give me 51 yeah that's where I
got it from all right hey I gave it the
okay link here's your big event tape to
take it home here we go around the
mulberry bush the mulberry bush the
mulberry bush here we go round the
mulberry bush show early in the morning
all right this is a propaganda piece in
the in the 15th century France the
demand for mulberry pies was off the
charts
okay so farmers came up with this song
for the kids to sing to get them to pick
mulberries without getting paid free
child labor to make the pies propaganda
they would actually put it on posters
14th since 15th century France ugly link
you're really right in one area and that
is about kids right doing weird stuff
exactly because in nineteen go was very
England there was a prison in Wakefield
that decided to add females to its
population and they brought their kids
to work with them they brought their
kids into the prison and this was a
crime to get why don't look surprised I
can't do this exercise by going around
the mulberry bush you my friend exercise
