Yeah... honestly, this was probably just my brain doing a little bit of a workout more than some grand point I wanted to make. Sometimes, it's just fun to play with language, though - but this was pretty self-indulgent.
Some 70s and 80s funk bands would incorporate weird riffs on nursery rhymes into their song lyrics and stage shows. The one most relevant to this article was done by the Gap Band, in "I Don't Believe You Want To Get Up And Dance (Oops!)":
"Jack and Jill/went up the hill/to have a little fun/stupid Jill forgot her pill/and now they have a son."
(It's more amusing when you hear lead singer Charlie Wilson recite it, as he punctuates it with an infectious giggle.)

But hey, I'm worth it!

Ha! I love it. I'd go listen right now, but I'm traveling through Earth, Wind & Fire's discography at the moment, pretty deep in (made it to '78).
