    Here’s the reference:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jacob_Jingleheimer_Schmidt

    I’m curious. Where are you from? I didn’t know the children’s rhyme was uncommon.

            Edit: Listened to song & tune sounds familiar.

          I remember it from the Recess movie when it was on Nickelodeon.

        Right. Of course I understand that.

        I asked where people who don’t understand the reference come from. That was my question, so I can understand better what places haven’t heard the rhyme before.

        I didn’t know that this one specifically was centered on the United States and Canada before looking it up.

        Kids + YouTube is spreading its popularity. I hadn’t heard it in the UK until 4-5 years ago.

      You really need this to get the effect: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=CVZHk0nt5j4

      The full effect requires at least 100+ little kids merrily singing this nonsense song at the top of their lungs.
