Yup. It sure is something...... or other......

Comment by Clock The Wolf on April 16, 2014 at 11:01am

It is actually about PreRoman Pictish ritual human sacrifice...

So perhaps the origin of the song goes back further?

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. 

Urban legend says the song originally described the plague, but folklorists reject this idea.

But this is probably the best version I have heard...ever!

Yup. Once the vocals start, the minimalism just kicks in ;-o
