Ring-a-Round a Rosie

I was a little leery of this nursery rhyme because I'd heard it was actually about the Black Plague--um, disturbing. However, a little research on the 'ole trusty internet yielded enough sites (including my favorite: Snopes) pooh-pooing this idea and I'm going to run with it! Besides, I cannot resist the joy he gets from spinning around and hitting the ground and it's nice to have a cheerful (as I now choose to believe) song to go with it.
