The name Lucy Locket was used by John Gay in Beggar's Opera (1728), but may have already been proverbial. [3] Kitty Fisher may have been Catherine Marie Fischer (d. 1767) a British courtesan who was the subject of three unfinished portraits by Joshua Reynolds and a number of songs, including an air recorded in Thompson's Country Dances (1760).
The tune shares with the English language nursery rhymes "Simple Simon", "Jack and Jill", and "Lucy Locket". It also inspired the theme tune for the children's television series, Barney & the Backyard Gang, Barney & Friends, and the 1960s US cartoon series Roger Ramjet. Danish band Toy-Box sampled the tune in their song "E.T".
Fisher is mentioned in the nursery rhyme Lucy Locket: "Lucy Locket lost her pocket, Kitty Fisher found it; But ne'er a penny was there in't Except the binding round it." Music publisher Peter Thompson also published a country dance bearing her name in Volume II of Thompson's Complete Collection of 200 Country Dances published in 1764. [19]
