11. Fenella is not the only one to get this wrong, Bugs Bunny managed to, too! What word did both Fenella and Bugs get wrong in the line: 'My bunny lies over the ocean'?
From Quiz My bunny lies over the ocean
Answer:
Bunny - it should be 'Bonnie'
These are the words in the chorus:
"My bonnie lies over the ocean,
My bonnie lies over the sea,
My bonnie lies over the ocean,
O bring back my bonnie to me."
While the origin of the song is not certain, it is speculated that the 'Bonnie' referred to may be the exiled Bonnie Prince Charlie, (Charles Edward Louis Philip Casimir Stuart, also known as the Young Pretender, a claimant to the English throne). The person wanting her bonnie returned to her was probably Flora McDonald, a Jacobite supporter and friend of Bonnie Prince Charlie.
