No, I didn't know that. It could also be about a pedophile. There's definitely something dodgy about that one anyway, I agree. Although it never should be changed.
I can't see anything wrong at all with Baa Baa black sheep though. It's not saying there's anything wrong with the black sheep, it's just saying that the sheep is black, so why the PC loonies think it should be changed to rainbow sheep I just can't understand.
Here's the offending song, for anyone who doesn't know it:
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full;
One for the master,
And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
