Subject: RE: Origins: point of nonsensical refrain folk mu
I often think the nonsense refrains of folk songs sound quite sexual, albeit in a rather regressive and crude and childlike way. So often they start with a "With my..." (ie "with me rum tum tiddle dee..." et al). Lots of words that sound like fiddle and diddle and bum and titty.
