Fly around

the Pumpkin Planet

On the eve of Halloween, KidsTV offers its fans a new
playable round dance song Fly around

the Pumpkin Planet (Fly around the Pumpkin). It is
based on the famous old children's song - "Ring a Ring o 'Roses" or
"Ring around the Rosie".

"Ring around the 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.

The cover of L. Leslie Brooke's Ring O' Roses (1922)
shows nursery rhyme characters performing the game.

It is unknown what the earliest version
of the rhyme was or when it began. Many incarnations of the game have a group
of children form a ring, dance in a circle around a person, and stoop
or curtsy with the final line. The slowest child to do so is faced with a
penalty or becomes the "rosie" (literally: rose tree, from
the French rosier) and takes their place in the center of the ring.

Variations, corruptions, and vulgarized
versions were noted to be in use long before the earliest printed publications.
One such variation was dated to be in use in Connecticut in the
1840s.
