I grew up listening to this band, rough, raw sound, in your face, brutal lyrics, no band at that time played taboo themes in such a crude way, Jonathan Davis had the balls to expose his emotional shortcomings and traumas so openly without a filter. For many of us it was a refuge and a way of reflection to get through hard moments in our lives...you realized that you were not the only one. In addition to this they changed the metal scene forever...many post grunge bands, nu metal and later styles such as deathcore and metalcore have a clear influence on their sound... the first 2 albums are pure gold

Yes, Ring around a rosie refers to the itchy rash around the sores of someone with the plague, pocket full of posies, posies were the flower petals that plague doctors spread over their deceased patients and it also helped with the odor. And of course ashes ashes refers to the ashes of the cremated remains.

If you go back and actually listen to nursery rhymes most are actually dark. If you look up the meanings most come from a dark place. The song is pointing out how we teach kids these rhymes as a way of calming them and it’s kind of the irony involved.

1:55. “Ring Around The Rosies, Pocket Full of Posies”, for example is from the Great Plague. Killed hundreds of thousands in Sixteen Hundred. Vile affair, with no one at the time knowing it was a virus, cuz no one knows what a virus is then.😆The posies were a reference to how the rich made it smell less bad with flowers. Nursery rhyme indeed!🤣🌿🌸

The song and video perfectly demonstrate how the darkness of these nursery rhymes (as you correctly pointed out) underscores and sometimes mirrors the dark ugliness that some children are raised in. Thanks for the great watch! Much love and keep ‘‘em coming!

What people seems to forget that those nursery rhymes are very dark without even singing them if you actually read the words. They were never meant to be told to children or sang to babies. So those tales actually fit the metal narrative more than any other genre.

Alouette is thought to be a Quebecois song about plucking the feathers from a lark (bird) preparatory to eating it. Nick Nack Paddy Wack is thought to refer to the variety of punishments meted out to the Irish poor during the Great Famine of 1846-53. Ring-a-Ring a Rosies is widely thought to be connected to the 1665 Great Plague of London and concealing the stench of the disease, keeping away "bad humors". One, Two, Buckle My Shoe to my knowledge has no truly dark links, it is an old nursery rhyme and counting song, but some versions of the lyrics are more dark reflecting earlier times when death and danger were more commonplace. London Bridge is Falling Down has an uncertain origin, but the lyrics are dark and the origin links I did find were unpleasant, ranging from Viking raiders to even child sacrifice. So, yes children's songs dressed up in violence. Another interpretation underlying the Korn song is that the nursery rhymes were sung to him by the same people who abused, denigrated, and punished him - sweet-sounding nursery rhymes sung by a person who also causes great pain. This is a very dark song, even for Korn who tended to sing about some pretty dark content. The fact that its meaning is hidden (like the nursery rhymes themselves) is simply genius.

If you want more of the raw and seething emotions Korn can bring, definitely check out more from their first album. Their song, Faget, is just full of visceral emotion. Definitely worth a listen. Daddy, however, is their most raw and devastating song by far. If you are not faint of heart, it's absolutely also worth listening to. Just be aware that it can be a very unpleasant (and potentially triggering) experience.

The ring around the rosery song existed before the black death but during it they changed the lyrics from "ashes, ashes" to "atissue! atissue" (mimicing sneezing and coughing). My assumption is that the ashes part meant something to do with playing like children forever until "we all fall down"

J.D.'s childhood involved some really dark things that happened to him. more on the album will fill in that story. I always thought that this song and nursery rhymes were meant to contrast each other. The dark music , the chorus lyrics, both contrasting the nurserry rhymes. Nursery rhymes in the song being a symbol of the lost innocence and false sense of childhood security that they should otherwise symbolize. OR, pershaps, I'm just reading too far into it... *Shrug*

There's something rather disturbing hearing an adult singing kids nursery rhymes w/ a hint of rage in his voice... I think that was what Jonathan Davis and KoRn was going for on 'Shoots and ladders'... it got on MTV back in 1995. There was a lot of twisted singles from Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Filter, White Zombie, Alice In Chains, etc. that year... The debut album in 1994 from KoRn was a dark and angry record that sounded like nothing out there at the time... a lot of groove and heaviness... By 1995, the rock scene was stepping away from grunge rock (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots...) and going even darker and more twisted... Jonathan Davis (vocals & bagpipes) of KoRn had suffered a lot of abuse growing up and exorcised a lot of those demons in his lyrics. That album closed w/ the track 'Daddy' that is a difficult track to listen to. Davis wrote it about being sexually abused by his parents' friend, and he was not believed when he told them about it... When Davis tracked his vocals for 'Daddy' in the studio w/ the band, he got through some of the song before he broke down into tears and started screaming hysterically... directed at his abuser... The band lost it too and had to step in to calm him down. And it wasn't faked - that was what made it onto the final mix of the record.
