Rock A Bye Baby. I've thought that one was sadistic ever since I was little. "When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall. Down will come baby, cradle and all." Why is a song about a baby falling out of a tree to its death thought of as a song that lulls children to sleep?

Ring around the roses is such a beautiful children's song about people dying gruesome deaths from the Plague and people blocking the smell of their rotting bodies with roses.

It's raining; it's pouring. The old man is snoring. He went to bed and bumped his head, And he couldn't get up in the morning. Or at least I think that means he died.

When I was little, I thought "You Are My Sunshine" was about children being stolen from their mothers. "You are my sunshine, My only sunshine, You make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, How much I love you, Oh, please don't take my sunshine away."
