I know I am necroing big time, but it was really enjoyable to watch how this nursery rhyme was made specifically with Aled Jones as a treble for this exquisite version of Agatha Christie's "A pocket full of rye" starring Joan Hickson as miss Marple. I have watched this version an innumerable number of times, and the singing of the rhyme always comes through as somewhat otherworldly and mysterious. Finally, now I know why. So, thank you very much for uploading this recording of Sing a song of sixpence with Aled Jones, who is unmatched to this day as a treble.
@stad97 This programme first aired on UK tv on the 21st June 1985 when Aled was aged 14. Not sure about the word "King" except to say that Aled sang what the producers told him to sing, perhaps it was something to do with getting the timings right for the video.
This version of the song was arranged for a TV murder mystery: "Miss Marple - A Pocketful of Rye" (1985). Hence the abrupt ending to create a weird mood. m.imdb.com/title/tt0087924/trivia
