The rhyme can also be seen as a counting rhyme, although the number of each toe ( from one for the big toe to five for the little toe ) is never stated. Origins In 1728, the first line of the rhyme appeared in a medley called `` The Nurse 's Song ''. The first known full version was recorded in The Famous Tommy Thumb 's Little Story - Book, published in London about 1760. The full rhyme continued to appear, with slight variations, in many late 18th and early 19th century collections. Until the mid-20th century, the lines referred to `` little pigs ''. In Today 's culture In 2013, an Australian children 's music group, The Wiggles, wrote a song `` This Little Piggy Went to Market '' with the same lyrics as the original This Little Piggy with different background music. In the same year, BilinguaSing released a bilingual version of the song in English and Spanish. The song is on The Wiggles ' 2014 release Apples and Bananas ( DVD and CD ), and the song is sung with the American journalist Lee Hawkins. On Tuesday, April 29, 2014, on The Today Show, Matt Lauer played This Little Piggy on Savannah Guthrie 's toes. On Monday, February 23, 2015, singer Christina Aguilera sang the rhyme in the voice of Britney Spears on `` The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon '' in the tune and instrumental of...
