Subject: RE: 'So ring around the rosy' lyrics
I've heard a couple of howlers in terms of people performing mis-hearings of this song. My two favorites are

I remember Dublin City in the "Radio Times"

Radio Times - a UK TV listing paper.

and

"Age has made me bitter, the gargoyles fill me brain"

Ain't the oral tradition a mysterious thing?

love, john.
