Poptimists Goes The Weasel

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

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!

carter sounds like GOOD CALL. I had PWEI hovering around my brain when trying to think of likely artists, but didn't make the jump to the USM.

NO ONE should ever make that leap
