In this episode of A Tisket-Tasket, Gina unpacks the dark and fascinating history of the nursery rhyme Naughty Baby, a lullaby that uses fear—and Napoleon Bonaparte—as a disciplinary tool. From its roots in 19th-century British anxiety to modern reinterpretations by artists like Fay Hield, this episode explores how children's folklore reflects cultural fears, historical events, and shifting societal norms. Join us as we uncover the eerie power behind one of the most intimidating lullabies in nursery rhyme history.
