Lots of us are from non-English countries...

Even English speaking countries outside north America. Never heard of this rhyme in the UK

Never in Florida, Indiana, New Jersey, Tennessee

I remember it from the Recess movie when it was on Nickelodeon.

Right. Of course I understand that.

I asked where people who don't understand the reference come from. That was my question, so I can understand better what places haven't heard the rhyme before.

I didn't know that this one specifically was centered on the United States and Canada before looking it up.
