so true bestie all the things i like are connected to each other even if they aren't. they are now
#i've connected the dots. corpus christi carol maze dance
#did he just make this up based on halliwell classifying this is the key as a game? or another text?
#or is this like his own observation... unclear.
#i have always been curious about the origin of this is the key and halliwell says literally nothing about it
#i want to believe....
#🧃
#okay i did find a description of the gestures for a different version of this is the key...
#why don't they describe them in actual published collections of nursery rhymes though
#they're important!!!
#they just assume you're british and grew up with this 😔
#i do remember the first time i heard of it was in a story where someone was singing it while they were working
#so there were no gestures to go with it in the story it was just a children's song
#and i looked it up and looked into it because of that and couldn't find anything about it other than the words
#but i did think it sounded like there Should be a physical component because it reminded me of here is the church here is the steeple
#i do like the impression it gives on its own that it's missing something...
#and i don't think here is the church here is the steeple would sound as enigmatic if you recited it without doing the gestures
#anyway the gestures that were described were just hand gestures but he says 'maze dances of this kind' in the footnote as if
#the dance for this is the key were literally physically a maze dance. rather than the lyrics being labyrinthine + there also being a 'dance
#like girl could you please fucking elaborate. could anyone. ever. describe anything
