how do you feel about children's nursery rhymes being turned in songs by celebs?

Question

ex: chain hang low ,London bridge etc

Answer 1

I feel

1) they have a hell of a lot of nerve calling it an original song when they plagiarize,

and

2) it doesn't say much for them as "artists" if they can't come up with original material.

Answer 2

Many celebs are now having children and are probably singing nursery rhymes to their youngsters just as your mother did to you (just in tune).

The marketing side of the individual kicks in and there inevitably comes the question... 'can I make money doing this?'

It would be great to see nursery rhymes sung and produced for charity for those who are less fortunate and I am sure there are those out there who have done that.

Answer 3

Rappers aren't intelligent enough to come up with new stuff, so they use nursery rhymes. It's just proof that people with the mentality of little kids love rap.

Answer 4

I've noticed that recently too... I guess there aren't enough beats for those artists.... But Chain Hang Low is kind of a good song! I guess I'd rather have them copy kids rhythms than other songs.

:)

Answer 5

well the opposite is happening too

songs are being turned into lullabys

they called rockabye baby or something and they have turned songs by radiohead, metallica, pink floyd and some others into lullabys

they sound kinda cool actually ~ go google them now

Answer 6

I don't like it because I associate london bridge with my childhood playing on the yard with all of my cousins and friends and sisters and now its supposed to mean the specific portion of a woman's panties???? the two ideas just don't mix it for me...

Answer 7

Guess it's nothing new. Paul McCartney did it way back in '72 w/ "Mary Had a Little Lamb".

Answer 8

I like what Carly Simon did with the Itsy bitsy spider......

Answer 9

its stupid and a lack of talent.

now if it were dr. suess books, thats a different story

Answer 10

i think its creative, would u want your kids to listen to a song they can familrize themselves with or have them listen to songs about cars, hoes, pimps, booty, etc.?
