Thank you, Paul. That was just great. And well done, too.
I am guessing professional actors and singers.
Is there a link?

There are lots of versions of that song, but I can’t nail the one you posted. I would like to send it to may homebound friends.

Thanks. It worked and this has been forwarded to all my usual suspects.
I don’t think I have ever gotten, or forwarded, so many jokes, videos, etc., with regards to this plague. Humor is better than mope I suppose.
Trivia:
Ring-a-ring o’ roses
A pocket full of posies
We all fall down
“ A rosy rash, they allege, was a symptom of the plague, and posies of herbs were carried as protection and to ward off the smell of the disease. Sneezing or coughing was a final fatal symptom, and “all fall down” was exactly what happened.”
Possible origin during the Black Death.

The Maskmsker song is a similar “whistling past the graveyard” piece. But much better.

Upon further review, the explanation about Ring around the Rosies that I gave has been overturned.
But it was a good myth.

If you Google “Abby Goldberg Maskmaker” you will find her YouTube channel. She has many other similar parodies.

Len. It’s singular. The young lady did all of the parts. And beautifully, I might add.
A much needed respite for the drivel of the day.

Absolutely fucking brilliant. Can’t stop the tears. Going to send to my step mother who has played all three daughters in FIDDLER at various times in her career.
