My name is George. I’ve heard this annoying nursery rhyme a lot over the past nearly 66 years. Your explanations about its origin are entertaining.

[@aprilshields2993]

My name is NOT George, but for some reason my family has called me George since I was a toddler (a female toddler!). I hated this nursery rhyme.

[@francesbernard2445]

I have a son with a different first name. Not John; Or, Henry. I hope "The Ressurrectionists" KZbin channel offers discussion about nursery rhymes that includes his first name some day too after so many adult women in the past since he was a year and a half of age have been in the habit of reading nursery rhymes to him before then having to dissapear out of his life most of the time from there. In a world where day care and divorce and hookups with live in girlfriend maids too have become the norm among men.

[@degraafenator]

@@aprilshields2993 My Dad called me George too since I was a little girl too. He used to sing this song to me but changed it to "kissed the boys and made them happy" because I was a girl and I didn't want to make anyone cry. I have fond memories of him singing it to me.

[@outlawJosieFox]

I always heard it like this When they boys came out to play, he kissed them too and ran away

[@zzzsydneyhom1379]

Thanks for publishing this! I always enjoy your work... I had always assumed that the nursery rhyme was about George Gordon, Lord Byron, the famous English poet and peer, who was also a notorious womaniser, and who also had a fondness for men I believe. The dates match up with the first recorded versions of the rhyme pretty well, since Byron was born in 1788 and died in 1824. His scandalous affairs instigated his departing England and taking up residence on the Continent in 1816, which also jibes with Georgie Porgy running away. Byron was however not cowardly and died fighting for the Greek cause to free themselves from Ottoman Turkish rule. Guess we'll never know...

[@The-Resurrectionists]

That's a great observation! Thank you for sharing 🖤 I can see how it could fit with Lord Byron... My only reservation about both George IV and Lord Byron is that the earliest known publication of the rhyme (1841) calls it an "old ballad," and is among other well known songs/rhymes, implying it might have been familiar to people before it was published. This raises the question of whether Georgie Porgie was already well-known before the publication, and if there was enough time between these men's deaths and the rhyme becoming widely known....Thank you for watching and I'm happy you enjoyed it! :)

[@paurushbhatnagar8100]

Lord Byron wud make interesting entry . It also possible that rhyme was made for one flamboyant but later tweeked to describe another

[@WildWoodsGirl65]

It is possible that if people noticed several guys that happened to be named George who had these similar characteristics, it would be alluded to in relation to all of them, & human nature being what it is, it's quite likely. So they're not all the first. But there is no tv, many people can't read & then can't afford many books for a length of history & they entertain themselves by word play, story telling, making jokes, gossiping about prominent figures - especially those who think they're their "betters," & over time I'm betting it will have been applied to them all. Had they not been named George 😂 they'd have been jokingly referred to as Georgie. It only became politically incorrect to tease over the last couple of decades. Until then it was common practice. And it's not like people have stopped doing it now that it's been labelled taboo. So position & status would not have prevented it. So, I say it applies to them all though one inspired it, and maybe we'd better not call boys named George, Georgie. 😂 I'm half kidding....

[@lllPlatinumlll]

I remember thinking on the words of this rhyme when I was a lad. I had been told that nursery rhymes were often political in nature and had lost their meaning however I saw something different in the words. To me this is an incredibly succinct story regarding morality, Georgie Porgie is a cad, he ran from his actions. The Rhyme asks young men to think about what constitutes manly behaviour.

[@supertuscans9512]

Actually he I believe looked after his bastard offspring quite well. There’s a chap who’s a scientific academic in the UK who used to make entertaining science programs. He is a descendant of one of Gerorge’s illegitimate children. In one programme he stood next to a portrait of George which hangs somewhere like Richmond House. He doesn’t just look similar to George 1V, he looks like the same person. Off the top of my head I can’t remember the man’s name. I believe Boris Johnson ( The former PM) is also a descendent of George IV.

My great grandmother, whose own great grandmother was English and lived during the time of George IV, referred to obese people as “porgie”…so I tend to favor him as being the subject of this nursery rhyme.

[@Bella-fz9fy]

A little bit like podgy,used for a slightly doughy fat person/child.

[@louisemorris1581]

My understanding of porgie is also referring to fatness. Also from my grandmother who was born in 1905.

[@WildWoodsGirl65]

I've heard that too, from the people who were in their 90s when I was a little kid. I was told it was rhyming slang based on George IV, pork pie > porky > Georgie porky? No, Georgie porgie! It rhymes. I asked an elderly British lady why her very tubby cat was named George. That was why. Her grandmother referred to anyone obese as porgie bc Georgie was porgie. But we don't know that George IV wasn't the butt of an existing joke bc nobody actually liked him. He was known as a selfish person in general & not exactly a wise leader, but one who didn't care about much except doing what he wanted and eating. The tradition of mocking kings and politicians goes back a very long way including comparing them to nursery rhymes but they have also inspired them. Humpty Dumpty was based on a real guy. I don't remember which. There are royals throughout time in fairy tales that make me glad to be a commoner! 😁

[@PatriciaMacintosh]

yes. probably fat is best definition George IV was very fat. wore corsets and crafts high on his neck to hide a double chin

[@ruthd7274]

The word is very close to 'podgy', which does, indeed, refer to a certain degree of rotundness 😂

[@anthonycalbillo9376]

It sounds like George the 4th, is a likely candidate for this poem.

[@dwiggi3rd504]

I well remember in the early 1960's that my Junior school teacher (Mr Neasham) told me and fellow classmates this was so (Geoge IV), I have never forgot his wise words after all these years.

My brother was Georgie Porgie in a play in his kindergarten class. When the time came for him to kiss the girl, he ran away crying. I was 4 and he and my other brother were 5 and 7. I'm 62 so a long time ago. 😅😊

[@AnMuiren]

As a teen I remember my classmates, particularly ones from Catholic families having adapted the rhyme as code for whether they'd missed their period, "Has George come to visit?" or "Had a kiss from George?". In that context Georgi Porgi, pudding and pie, kissed the girls and made them cry referred to one's time of the month, and if the boys come out to play, no period, no kiss from George and you had a real problem.

[@mickyjgreen]

This makes sense - pudding and pie is still a mystery to me though - some allusion to puberty? And the choice of Georgie as a name (and porgie).

[@The-Resurrectionists]

Thank you for sharing your insights, that's a great interpretation! :)

[@whiterabbit-wo7hw]

Indeed. Georgie the 4th would be the prime perpetrator in this investigation of who kissed the girls. This case was well presented, and though our suspect has been deceased for quite a number of years, we'll dig him up and put his bones on trial.

Re Caroline of Brunswick. When a supporter begged the Lords to remember that Christ himself had forgiven the woman taken in adultery the reply was one of the best ever:- "Most gracious Queen, we thee implore to go away and sin no more, Or if that effort be too great, to go away at any rate."

[@karphin1]

Am thinking that George IV was the target of the rhyme, it certainly fits a good deal of his life. Of course, the rhyme may have existed in oral tradition before, and been adapted to refer to him. Fascinating as usual!

[@tamarrajames3590]

I had always understood this rhyme to be associated with George IV, as it did seem to point up his hedonistic tendencies and overindulgence. You are, however correct, it could well fit the much earlier King’s favourite, although I don’t recall him ever having let his fine figure go through excesses at the table. While he was not the most successful leader of military men, I saw no indications that he shirked his duty, or deserted his men. He even died like a man, in attempting to slay his assassin with his own knife. Thank you, I thoroughly enjoyed this.🖤🇨🇦

Pudding and pie might have nothing whatsoever to do with food but instead may well refer to male and female genitalia. Pudding was sausage shaped meat like ‘Black Pdding ( a sausage made of Blood) and Pie is a euphemism for female genitalia which is still used. Florence (of Florence and the Machine) has a song titled ‘ Get your filthy fingers out of my pie’ and she’s not singing about her lunch.

[@VijaySuryaAditya]

Both stories are excellent candidates for the original inspiration.

I had always understood Georgy Porgy to be the Prince Regent. Hadn't heard about Buckingham before and found it very interesting. Thank you!

[@mch12311969]

Unlike some of your other videos this one only has two options, which makes it much easier to follow. While I would like to think that it is referring to the Duke of Buckingham, from the evidence presented it would appear to me that this rhyme is referring to the Prince Regent.

[@hoibsh21]

Thus we have the Genesis album, Nursery Cryme.

[@AudioFlat]

I always thought it referred to George IVth - but I do like the alternative you put forward.

[@IRSA1]

Somehow, the duke of Buckingham seems a better fit for this popular rhyme. Once again, this clearly illustrates that grand titles, power and riches are no reflection of virtue,courage or industry, but rather a licence for debauchery and untamed ruthless excess. This is why I have always viewed anything to do with the aristocracy with total suspicion and often contempt for their scandalous privileges.

Funny, I have been wondering if you were going to do this one, and lo and behold, while looking for something completely unrelated, it came into my KZbin feed! Not sure why this one was circulating in my head w.r.t. its origins: I actually remember it from childhood when it was used to bully a kid named George who was my friend at the time. Pity Charles I liked Villers: it was one of those things used against him by all those 19th Century Historians. (18th Century Historians were a lot kinder to him, and my own feelings are that he was not that bad of a king: he stood up for the nascent working class against both aristocrats and the rising middle class, which was already starting to cruelly exploit them. I suppose I'm biassed: our family were cavaliers who lost everything when the roundheads prevailed!) Well done!

I think the rhyme deals with the Jacobite rebellions, culminating with Bonny Prince Charlie. The “kissed the girls” would refer to George I as elector for f Hanover being made king after Queen Anne died. Anne’s sister and her husband William of Orange had supplanted their father but both died childless. The boys coming out to play would be the Jacobites rising to restore the Stuart line from the Hannovers.

I'd say it much more fits George IV than Georges Villiers. Although there is another candidate in one Lord Byron. If I'm not mistaken his name is George as well, and he was equally known to be a womanizer, and scandal prone. So much so that a lady was wont to state that he was mad, bad, and dangerous to be around (though I've also heard it as dangerous to know). I don't know his history well enough to link that pudding and pie, though I believe he was bisexual, or the running away when either the girls or boys came out to play.
