Bigotry like Sbrooks should be suppressed eh? All nursery rhymes are queer one way or another.
Now, at the queer version, isn't there perhaps a book, or even just a page that makes general reference to "raped rhymes" (for which I could provide thousands of examples from Mary Had a Little Lamb alone), origin of which are and have been spontaneous amongst vulgar adults, usually teenaged boys, for centuries. 41.13.8.14 ( talk) 03:55, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
According to The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes, the rhyme was first recited as:
Rowley Powley, pudding and pie, Kissed the girls and made them cry; When the girls begin to cry, Rowley Powley runs away.

So why, oh why, are we investigating George? The older version was about one Rowley or Powley who was gorgeously cute, seeded his village and disappeared. -QED
The later version was a mother who was changing her baby's nappy singing him Humpty Dumpty, Thunder. Thunder by ACDC and ad libbed the words to the song about the town stud, changing the name to that of her baby. -QED 41.13.8.14 ( talk) 03:42, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
Reggae artist Eek-a-Mouse made a song named Georgie Porgie; should it be mentioned here? -- oKtosiTe talk 20:28, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Changing "most common lyrics" to the ADC version, as more people know that than the "original" one quoted. Please do not revert; this is a legitimate edit. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.169.1.147 ( talk) 05:38, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Why is this labeled as a song?
It's a poem if anything.

I think it would be interesting to know the relation of this poem to the one in Brave New World, Orgy-porgy. It would also be interesting to know what was the version at the time of writing. I would be grateful to anyone who shared this knowledge here. Tigre200 ( talk) 08:33, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
I reinserted my reference to the Toto song which had been deleted by Sweetpool50 with a strange appeal to "original research". Since I am merely stating a fact that is to be found in a Wikipedia article that I am linking to, there is no way I could or should be accused of original research, and certainly not have my content deleted without prior notice.
