Ahh the joyful bliss I had with that wonderful song. Holding my friends hands and jumping in a circle...DID YOU KNOW IT WAS ABOUT DEATH?? It's terrible...

In several theories surrounding their origin and not a lot of sound proof about which argument is correct, But of all the alleged nursery rhyme backstories, "Ring Around the Rosie" is probably the most infamous. Though its lyrics and even its title have gone through some changes over the years, the most popular contention is that the sing-songy verse refers to the 1665 Great Plague of London."The rosie" is the rash that covered the afflicted, the smell from which they attempted to cover up with "a pocket full of posies." The plague killed nearly 15 percent of the country's population, which makes the final verse, "Ashes! Ashes! We all fall down" I'm sorry to say... But that is rather self explanatory. Death.

Guys, everywhere in the world, children have been learning this song...the ligit song of death.

Children think it's about flowers, well now you know it has a completely different meaning! It's origin dark and sad. No more dancing for us I guess.
