* The nursery rhyme "Rockabaye Baby, in the Tree Top" is a lullaby traditionally sung to children to help them fall asleep: Rockabye Baby, on the treetops.<br> When the wind blows, the cradle will rock.<br> When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall.<br> And Down will come baby, cradle and all!<br> It is interesting that this song contains a fall and although sung in a sweet melody it is actually quite dark and sinister. * Waves pertain to water and a 'trough' is the lowest point in an alternating signal or wave. 'Trough' is the opposite of a 'crest' which is the highest point. If ALP is the trough then HCE is the crest (mountain). * 'Boob', 'boobs' and 'boobies' are all slang for female breasts. Breasts are roughly wave-shaped with a nipple at the crest. Boobys and babies have an obvious connection.
