Yesterday I got sent a CD of nursery rhymes for my kid - it was rub though. But it reminded me to do the much promised NURSERY RHYMES CANON. These selections are from the top ranked nursery rhyme CD at Amazon.co.uk, from "Oxbridge Baby" (ew). Other CDs have about a billion rhymes on but this is a CANON POLL and we frown on such inclusiveness. You get six ticks.

[Poll #1126074]

Bonus task - can we compile a CD of pop records which quote or reference all of these? Adam Ant - "Puss In Boots". Fergie - "London Bridge" - there, 16 to go!

USE OTHER FACTS PLS!

It is about hatters pawning their 'weasels' for booze, weasels being accessories, says Anthony Newley. Hooray, I think I will listen to Anthony Newley for the rest of the afternoon now.

Er... I have run out of facts about 'Pop goes the weasel' now and don't know anything about shoes!
