What recorded Folk, Blues, Jazz, R&B and other genres of songs do you know that mention English language playground rhymes or are based on English language playground rhymes? Also, which recorded non-children's songs are based on children's playground rhymes or nursery rhymes? I've been interested in these subjects for years, and have recently published this related post on my pancocojams cultural blog: href="http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2012/01/childrens-cheers-or-rhymes-inspired-by.html I also published a three part series of text analysis of examples of the "rap" that Tom Hank's character recites in the movie Big. Here's a link to the first post in that series http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2011/12/sources-of-big-movie-rap-shimmy-shimmy.html Your lists and/or comments are welcome.
