"Wee Cooper O'Fife" is a well-known Scottish folk song about a cooper who beats his wife because she will not cook, clean, and sew. An American variation of the song, entitled "Risseldy Rosseldy", was sung by the school children in the 1963 film The Birds right before they were attacked by a swarm of birds.

That'll teach them kids to sing ethnic folk songs. I hope ...

it reminds me of a strange moment in middle school where these girls were singing "beat that bitch with a bat" and i tried to explain sexism to a crowd indifferent 12 year old girls. alas, no birds attacked us.
