London Bridge is broken down, falling down, falling down. London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady.
It may be a centuries old harmless nursery rhyme to you, but to me is spells c-o-n-s-p-i-r-a-c-y. Not only do the full lyrics detail the reconstruction methods that will not work to save the bridge, but I believe that in the very history of the song lies the true secret behind the future plot to remove an English landmark.
Note that it is not the literal history of the rhyme that concerns me, or what it's origins may have been - no Viking attacks or child sacrifices here - but the more recent events that have brought it into the public eye.
2 million copies of a certain song has been sold in the United States alone. That song is of course "London Bridge" by Fergie of Black Eyed Peas fame. Why is this important? It's not just because of the name, no, or the references to the nursery rhyme in the chorus, but something much more subtle and yet incredibly straight forward to those of us who have opened our eyes…
The UK release date for this single was… wait for it… September 11th, 2006. Yes, 5 years after 9/11, an American releases a single in the UK, referencing an English landmark. But that's not all. Fergie, Fergie. Interesting name. Reminds me of Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York.
Duchess? Wasn't that the name of Fergie debut solo album? Well, beyond spelling, yes, yes it was. "The Dutchess". Anyone care to name track 4 of that album?
London. Bridge. Oh yes it was.
That's proof if ever I saw it. A conspiracy by British Royalty to destroy London Bridge, exposed by an American whose whole persona has obviously been carefully crafted to make the clues not too obvious, but not too hard to find.
Believe it people. 'They' are telling us what other 'they's don't want you to know. All you have to do is look into the rabbit hole.
Or, you know, enjoy the damn music as it was intended. Sing along, watch the video, buy the album, grab some concert tickets to see the artist in person and realize that actually it sounded better in your bedroom in the first place.
This is my serious set of paragraphs if you've not been following. You really can look too far into any media source, and create conspiracies where there are none. You'll lead yourself on paths that lead nowhere, you'll give meaning to what doesn't have meaning, because you're imagining a meaning that isn't there. It's a song, it's a movie, it's a book, a cartoon, a poem, a portrait, it's art, it's media, it's entertainment, and it can make references to anything it wants - but it is not an intricate weaving of conspiracy theories, it is not a revelation that 'they' don't want you to know or what 'they' will do to you.
It is what it is.
And now I leave you with someone who made an even better conspiracy than my London Bridge: Rives: Is 4 a.m. the new midnight?
