BTW, I am including information about the race/ethnicity of children because I believe that race can be a significant factor in what songs or rhymes are sung by children and how they are performed.

For instance, my research of children's rhymes thus far suggests that teacher parodies such as "Glory Glory Hallelujah" are much more widely known among White American children {and adults} then among African American children and adults {particularly those who attend or attended all Black schools or predominately Black schools}.

Of course, much more research needs to be done to confirm or disprove the validity of this finding. And if my preliminary finding holds up, it would be interesting to read any opinions about the pyscho-social meaning -if any- of the absence of teacher taunts among predominately African American children.

That said, I don't want to get all heavy duty about these songs & rhymes. After all, I suppose the main reason why children and youth sing them is for fun.

So I'm gonna step aside, and turn this thread over to other folks.

Share and enjoy!
