Comments[edit]

[Plaster] tells me that the original title of the diary of Anne Frank was "The Annexe", named after the house in which she lived, "The Secret Annexe"^[1]. He also mentions that The Annex is a neighbourhood in Toronto, Canada.^[2]

In this Twoism thread^[3] the sample source of the singing children was discovered. The singing is a slight variation of the Jenny Jones poem. The actual song they sampled is A40 "I've Come To See Your Janie Jonies" on this 1983's Children's Singing Games compilation.^[4] You can hear it at 1:59 in this Spotify player.

Please, we've come to see Jenny Jones, Jenny Jones, Jenny Jones;

Please, we've come to see Jenny Jones,

And how is she today?

Jenny, she is dead, dead, dead;

You cannot see her today.

What color is she going to be buried in?

Red.

Red is for danger, danger, danger;

Red is for danger, so that won't do.

White.

White is for angels, angels, angels;

White is for angels, so that will do.

Ding, dong,

The castle bells,

Ringing for me;

I'll be buried in the old churchyard

Beneath the great yew tree.

In Carnival Slang, An Annex refers to "The area of a sideshow joint where the blowoff is located."^[5]
