Referencing the nursery rhyme 'Sing a Song of Sixpence'

[edit]

Is this worth a mention? The line 'Sing the song of sixpence' is a direct reference to the English nursery rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence"; a later line in the nursery rhyme is 'Four and twenty blackbirds baked inside a pie', and later a blackbird pecks off a girl's nose. "Burn the Witch" begins and ends with the song of a male blackbird. 109.154.231.91 (talk) 16:02, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New genre

[edit]

I think we should add electronic to this song's genre section, because the song has a drum beat that I think is chiptuned. You know, like one of those 8-bit NES games' soundtracks. Tjdrum2000 (talk) 15:09, 27 August 2016 (UTC) Tjdrum2000 (talk) 15:09, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The song is not "chiptune". (The drums are sampled from a Roland CR-78 drum machine, or possibly played on the real thing.) If you can find reliable sources describing the song as electronic, we can add it, but I think you'll struggle to do so, because it's not really an electronic song.
