Who upset "The Good Faery" by going down to the forest, chasing all the field mice and then bopping 'em on the head?

Little Bunny Foo Foo is a children's rhyme, involving a rabbit tormenting a population of field mice. It is sung in a light-hearted tone. The song teaches that it is wrong to be cruel to animals. Its melody matches the middle of the Lachrymosa movement of Giuseppe Verdi's Messa da Requiem, when the alto voices begin the "huic ergo" section. This rhyme appears to have been inspired by Bad Sir Brian Botany by A. A. Milne.[1] The line "he went among the villagers and bopped them on the head" is an obvious similarity, the rhythm is substantially shared, and both Sir Brian and Bunny Foo Foo get their comeuppance. Bad Sir Brian Botany is a satire of feudalism.[citation needed] Regional variants lyrics include: Good Fairy, Fairy Princess, or Little Angel (as opposed to "Blue Fairy") "I don't like your attitude!" (as opposed to "I don't wanna see you!") and/or spelling Little Bunny's name as "Frou Frou" or "Lil' bunnai fu fu". An additional ending, "Little Goon Foo Foo kept hoppin' through the forest..." for a last chorus signifies the opposite of the story's moral intention. Some variations include calling the bunny a rabbit or substituting "bashing" for "bopping". Some variants also substitute "kissing" for "bopping" in what appears to be an attempt to minimize the violent aspect of the song. The length of the rhyme coupled with the pun at the end makes many consider this to be a shaggy dog story. This song was recorded by the band The Moldy Peaches on their eponymous debut album. Only the first verse is sung, followed by shouts of "Little Bunny Foo Foo"! An issue of Roman Dirge's comic Lenore contains a version of the story, in which Lenore is dressed in a bunny suit, attacking small animals. http://www.answers.com/topic/little-bunny-foo-foo Dec 27 06, 1:29 PM

Little Rabbit Foo Foo in the version we do. It's the Fairy Godmother that appears three times, warning Foo Foo that Foo Foo will be turned into a Goon if Foo Foo continues in these evil ways. And when Foo Foo is turned into a Goon, the moral of the story is quite obvious. Hare today, Goon tomorrow..... And the tune we use doesn't remind me of Verdi, but that doesn't surprise me. If I'm singing it, nothing would remind anyone of Verdi... We don't use the word 'bopping' - we just make a noise by hitting a palm with a fist. This is something like the version we do - minor differences in wording. http://www.answers.com/topic/little-bunny-foo-foo-1 Dec 27 06, 4:16 PM
