Apparently, Humpty Dumpty was the name of an old cannon that the British tried to use at some point. It fell, broke, and was unusable. Someone made a little rhyme. Then, for no reason, someone put an egg in overalls on the wall.
@mynamesnotadam5 ай бұрын
The idea that Humpty Dumpty was a Royalist cannon in the English Civil War is just one of several theories. Some suggest it Humpty Dumpty could be refering to the hunchbacked King Richard III who fell and died at Bosworth. Others suggest it is just a term for a clumsy person, or is talking about the downfall of cardinal Wolsey, or a siege engine. He has portrayed as an egg for over 100 years though and my favourite explanation, as the true meaning has been lost, is the theory that the rye is a riddle and the answer is an egg, which is why it came to be portrayed as an egg.

In the past, even fairy tales for children have a darker and more brutal punishments for the characters because they are cautionary tales first and foremost so the allegation about "bad for children" should be examined. The claimed inspiration for many nursery rhymes is vague and meant to be allegedly educated guesses. Meanwhile, the teens and adults freely indulge in sound compositions that are basically glorifying hedonist activities ($$$, women objectifying their outer appearance i.e. skin-deep beauty, dudes owning b!tche$ or getting violent, gloating about earthly desires) or wallowing in pathetic self-pity and endless negativity without providing any hint of introspection for better self-improvement.

In the sprawling landscape of KZbin, where creators rise and fall like waves in a tempest, there exists a luminary who shines with the radiance of a thousand suns. His name? Ryan George, the maestro of mirth, the architect of amusement, and the sultan of satire. Join me, dear reader, as we embark on a journey to unravel the enigmatic tapestry of comedic brilliance woven by this modern-day bard. Ryan George is not your average KZbinr; he's a comedic alchemist, transforming mundane moments into pure gold. With a twinkle in his eye and a smirk on his lips, he takes on the world armed only with his razor-sharp wit and a knack for turning the absurd into the sublime. Whether he's dissecting the quirks of everyday life or skewering the tropes of Hollywood, Ryan's humor is as boundless as the cosmos itself. One cannot discuss Ryan George without delving into the marvel that is "Pitch Meetings." Ah, yes, the hallowed halls of the Hollywood boardroom, where logic takes a holiday and sanity goes to die. In these delightful vignettes, Ryan dons the dual mantles of writer and producer, engaging in a delightful pas de deux with himself as he pitches ludicrous movie ideas to an increasingly incredulous studio executive. From the "How It's Made" approach to iconic films to the inevitable inclusion of a "twist" that defies all known laws of storytelling, each episode is a veritable feast for the funny bone. But Ryan's comedic prowess extends far beyond the confines of Tinseltown. His forays into the realm of the absurd know no bounds, whether he's exploring the existential crisis of a sentient Roomba or pondering the existential dread of being trapped in a video game tutorial. With each sketch, he invites us to peer through the looking glass into a world where the mundane becomes magical and the ridiculous reigns supreme. Yet, for all his comedic bravado, there's a humility to Ryan George that endears him to audiences far and wide. Beneath the veneer of hilarity lies a genuine warmth and authenticity that shines through in every interaction. Whether he's engaging with fans on social media or sharing behind-the-scenes anecdotes, Ryan's down-to-earth demeanor is a refreshing reminder that even in the realm of comedy, sincerity reigns supreme. Ryan George is not just a KZbinr; he's a comedic virtuoso, a maestro of mirth, and a beacon of laughter in a world often shrouded in darkness. Through his unparalleled wit and irrepressible charm, he has carved out a niche in the digital landscape, captivating audiences with his unique brand of humor and leaving a trail of smiles in his wake. So, here's to you, Ryan George, may your wit never wane, and your laughter never fade. You are, truly, a legend in your own right. Super easy. Barely an inconvenience.

Ryan, don't forget about "Ring Around the Rosie," that delightful children's song about the Bubonic Plague. First it describes symptoms of the "Black Death," referencing red skin lesions surrounded by a dark ring. Then that's followed by a line describing the holistic way people covered up the stench of rotting flesh by putting strongly scented flowers in their clothing. Next comes "ashes, ashes," which had a double meaning as both the means of mass body disposal AND the biblical "ashes to ashes" reference. Finally, "we all fall down" is that wonderfully optimistic line, meaning simply, "we're all going to die." Yep...wonderful children's song.
@jasonrhome7105 ай бұрын
There's a moderate variation I heard that as "Ah-choo, Ah-choo, we all fall down." Though I don't immediately recall if sneezing is among the symptoms of bubonic icky-poo-poo... ah, looks like it was and may also be the reason why "Bless you" became a response as people could pass quickly after the sneezing started and there may not be time to find a priest.

Humpty Dumpty was an English civil war cannon which fell of a wall and the kings troops could not fix it. The English civil war was parliament verses the king if you were wondering. Quick note. Google will say that Humpty Dumpty was an insult which it was and the nursery rhyme was a metaphor which it probably was but the cannon called Humpty Dumpty did exist and did fall.

Which one? None of them were protest songs except for one interpretation of Jack and Jill that postulates a protest to events over 150 years before our earliest version. It's equally likely to be referring to a teen pregnancy in a Somerset village.

Having experienced postpartum anxiety after each of my three children, i beleive the song is about the 'scary thoughts' a lot of moms have. Many of them center around dropping the baby, or tripping while holding the baby, or or the baby in some other way falling. Our grandmas were just saying how they felt.
