What ones do you still remember? I'm learning new ones all the time and my munchkin loves me singing them too her especially if i add in some actions for her to copy.
I read that parents are no longer singing to their children as its not cool 
I don't care if i'm in public or not, if little one gets grizzly a lil rendition of twinkle twinkle always calms her down  |

still remember loads from my childrens days and working in nurserys for over 10 years.. i think my fave has to be insy winsy spider.. just because of the actions that go with it..
when i left working with children, a % of parents didnt know the most common nusery rhymes so we had started a nursery rhyme club. a new one every week with links to stories, games and learning outcomes like counting, colours etc. and themes in the nursery.
and i was one of those people that is happy to sing nursery rhymes out in public.. lol with my singing voice maybe i shouldn't have but they work a treat ,, and are great to distract a little one from what ever is upsetting them.. the funnier the better.
so please keep doing it.. singing nursery rhymes has been linked to better learning skills , the learning of language,understanding pitch,space,colours, the world around you. so many things.
ok will shut up now,, *walking away singing, 5 little men in a flying saucer*

Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose,
Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose,
Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose,
And he flipped it and he flapped it and the fly flew away |

Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard
To fetch her poor doggie a bone
But when she got there
The cupboard was bare
So he gave her a bone of his own
Aye yi ya

My daughter always cracked up when I sang nursery rhymes to her because I always changed the words.
Her favourite was always:
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on her tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a spider
And sat down beside her
So she smashed it's brain's out with her spoon.
~
Or:
Humpy dumpy sat on a wall
Humpy dumpy had a great fall
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Yelled, "Oh no! Scrambled egg again!"
~
To a 4y/o I guess that seems quite funny.
Now that she's 13 she laughs at my rendition of Abba songs, in particular:
Mamma Mia:
"Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day you farted."
~
She giggles her head off at that.
