Operation London Bridge
Monday, 4.18.22
This video was posted on Youtube on June 14 2010. It is a song that I remember from my childhood, while playing a group jumping rope game during recess. I always thought the words in this song were eerie, but I didn’t really understand it because I was eight and nine.
Operation London Bridge: What will happen when Queen Elizabeth II dies? She is currently 95 years old and recovering from Covid-19. But she is still alive and kicking, although the London Bridge is Falling Down kids’ song, is floating around all over the internet because many people want her dead. I remember this song when I was a kid in recess, when a group of girls were playing a group jump rope game while monotonously chanting this song. I was thinking to myself, this is eerie and why is it for kids? The words, London Bridge is falling down, My Fair Lady, and Take the keys and lock her up, just felt very dark and disturbing to me, especially when I was eight and nine years old.
