Old Mother Goose, Nursery rhymes, Fairy tales, Grimms. They are all in here in this connection. Songs with lyrics from Nursery Rhymes and the rest. From punk to rock, folk to pop at some time these words are being used (or abused) by musicians. One of my favorites was always Flipper doing the old lady who swallowed a fly, but Raydio (Ray Parker Junior) doing Jack and Jill go up the hill is also genius. Throw in Zappa and the Muffin Man, Toto AND Current 93 and now you have a collection. Let me know who else I missed, because I am sure there is enough to make volume two. The cover is from Paulus De Boskabouter. One of the first kids books I ever read. Still a favorite.
