songs where bands do an interpolation of a nursery rhyme in a "scary" "intense" style but it just ends up sounding silly

the classic example being "hush little baby" and "now i lay me down to sleep" in "enter sandman"

but also "cross my heart hope to die" and "rain rain go away" in "down in it" by nine inch nails

how does anyone take a band seriously after they do this

Whenever this trope is evoked, I invariably think of

Korn - Shoots and Ladders

this is such a nu-metal, edgy 90s trope. super cringey and I can't believe I can't think of another instance.

the Crippled Rejex came pretty close in "Hello Disappear" when chris sung-spoke "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of I don't give a fuck, bitches"

there's gotta be at least a dozen Marilyn Manson songs where he does this

Did anyone ever do this with Little Miss Muffet?

the first verse of System of a Down's 'I-E-A-I-A-I-O' is an edgy rewrite of 'Peter Piper'

("peter's pecker picked another pickle bearing pussy pepper")

Andrew Dice Clay?

Run DMC - Peter Piper
2 Live Crew - Dirty Nursery Rhymes

The first is probably a better example of this phenomenon, the 2 Live Crew one is obviously intended to be goofy.

blacks and bays, and dapples and grays, all the pretty little horses

always liked the nick cave/current 93 track 'all the pretty little horses', never thought it sounded silly
