Just thought you might like a bit of light relief ... here's a rather special interpretation of the song:

British folksongs, from at least the mid-1500s, have been chock full of anti-government sentiments. Many thousands of words have been written about the political significance of nursery rhymes and their hidden meanings, and one song from that period "The Cutty Wren" is still sung in the odd folk club today. It slags King Henry the Eighth big time, for being fat and greedy. Granted the message was cloaked in bird metaphors, but I doubt that the wandering minstrels sang it much around the nobility.

I'm not doing it right at all, I really wish I knew what they were on!
