Here's one of the 25 songs from the Leap's Learning Band. This is one of the songs I used to sing with my kindergarten friends as a girl, and when I heard this version, it made me grin.

Ring Around the Rosie is a traditional nursery rhyme, folk song and playground singing game. Descriptions first emerge in the mid-19th century, but are reported as dating from decades before, and similar rhymes are known from across Europe. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 7925.

The lyrics vary, but a modern interpretation based on modern lyrics that related the words to the plague in England became widespread post-WWII, even though it appears to be a false folk etymology.

Lyrics:
Ring around the rosy,
Pocket full of posies. 
Ashes, ashes. 
We all fall down!

The king has sent his daughter
To fetch a pail of water. 
Ashes, ashes. 
We all fall down!

The bird upon the steeple
Is singing to the people.
Ashes, ashes. 
We all fall down!

Song: Ring Around the Rosie
Composer: Traditonal

Stephanie is my name, music is my game -- welcome to my Merry Musical Museum of Sounds, Songs and Soundfonts! I'm an exciting 30-year-old Korean-American female who is a huge fan of Nostalgic stuff and I am also a musician (with a good musical ear or musical skills) who makes tunes with soundfonts from games and toys, as well as musical mashups and song covers too. I also upload game music (includes LeapFrog LeapPad and My First LeapPad music too) and other songs, with credit to others. I will upload my music, mashups, song covers, rare songs and video game tunes on here when I feel like it. 

My other interests are anime, art, cute things, animated movies and series, and drawing.

Note: Please wait. Sometimes posting things here takes a while. Plus patience is a virtue.
