Ring a Ring o' Roses" or "Ring a Ring o' Rosie" is a nursery rhyme or folksong and playground singing game. It first appeared in print in 1881, but it is reported that a version was already being sung to the current tune in the 1790s and similar rhymes are known from across Europe. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 7925. Urban legend says the song originally described the plague, specifically the Great Plague of London, or the Black Death, but folklorists reject this idea.

Ring-a-ring o' rosies Pocket full of posies A'Tishoo A'Tishoo We all fall down. I find it interesting because it dates from the time of the Great Plague (1665) and is about what happens to people who catch it. They get a ring of spots or inflammation (the ring of rosies), try to stop catching or passing it on by carrying a "pocket full of posies", start to sneeze ("A'Tishoo A'Tishoo") and then "fall down" dead. When my daughter was in nursery school in a village in Oxfordshire, England in 1977 she sang a second verse to 'Ring around the rosie, pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down!'. It went: 'Ashes on the water, ashes on the Sea, we all jump up with a one, two, three!' Somewhere I heard/read that the first verse referred to the plague and ensuing death implied in the 'all fall down', the second verse referred to resurrection after the death.

How to play the singing game "Ring a Ring O' Roses (Ring Around The Rosie)? Playing "Ring a Ring O' Roses (Ring Around The Rosie) is simple. One person is standing in the middle, and the other persons form a ring an dance around this person. When the song has finished (on the final word "down"), all persons in the ring should lay down on the ground. The slowest person (the person inside the circle decides who), is next up to be standing inside the circle. This person is called "Rosie" (from Rose Tree)

The Shaggs were formed by Dot, Betty and Helen in 1968, on the insistence of their father, Austin Wiggin, who believed that his mother had predicted the band's rise to stardom. The band's only studio album, Philosophy of the World, was released in 1969. Hacked-at drumbeats, whacked-around chords, songs that seem to have little or no meter to them. being played on out-of-tune, pawn-shop-quality guitars all converge, creating dissonance and beauty, chaos and tranquility, causing any listener coming to this music to rearrange any pre-existing notions about the relationships between talent, originality, and ability. He played a couple of Shaggs songs, and professed his love for the album. Original pressings are now quite valuable and highly sought after among rare record collectors.

Ring Around the Rosie. Ring Around the Rosie. He knew it was hard on his mom, having a new baby to take care of, so he helped when he could. It was a running family joke that they always had a babysitter. Setting his flute carefully on a table by the door and out of his sister's reach, he smiled when his mom popped her head into the hallway.

The ring around a rosie refers to the round, red rash that is the first symptom of the disease. The practice of carrying flowers and placing them around the infected person for protection is described in the phrase, a pocket full of posies. Ashes is a corruption or imitation of the sneezing sounds made by the infected person. Ring Around the Rosie has many different variant forms which omit some of the plague references or clearly have nothing whatsoever to do with death or disease.
