Seems sexist.
Ok, you got me. I literally just sang the entire song to myself and there were no gender identifying pronouns anywhere in it, for little bunny foo foo anyway. The good fairy is clearly identified as female by the line, "Down Came the Good Fairy, and SHE said..."
(confession - I also did the hand signs. I'm still at work.)
Heh! I am happy just thinking about it.
I can't sing it because I am so deathly afraid of it being stuck in my head for the rest of the week. Won't. Let. It. Happen.0 -

I'm glad I didn't do this exact same thing to check for the gender of Foo Foo.
That would have been embarrassing.

....uhhhh...oh yeah,
Here comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppin', Easter's on its way
Bringin' every girl and boy
Baskets full of Easter joy
Things to make your Easter bright and gay
And that's all I remember. I thought I heard somewhere they were going to stop importation of cadbury eggs to the US? Or was that a load of bunk? Haven't been Easter-ing things up yet.0 -

I heard that a few years ago. Bought a few cases. Then concluded that it was a (brilliant) viral marketing campaign.
Pro-tip: the creamy filling in cadbury creme eggs dries out fairly quickly. Their shelf life seems to be only a few months.1 -

In fact, upon further research, this is highly confusing.
When I was a child I read the series of books by Thornton Burgess about various animals, one of whom was Peter Cottontail (also Peter Rabbit, not to be confused with Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit, who also was not the Easter Bunny):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Cottontail
But apparently in the 1970s (although I managed not to see it despite being the right generation) there was an Easter special about Peter Cottontail a "young Easter bunny" employed by the "Chief Easter bunny" named, of course, Colonel Wellington B. Bunny. And it gets weirder:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_Comes_Peter_Cottontail
I also never realized Here Comes Peter Cottontail was supposed to be an Easter song, but I only know the first line or two.
I seriously have always assumed the Easter bunny was female.
For the record, when I was a child I was firmly convinced that cats and dogs were the same animal, but cats were the female version and dogs the male version. Somehow this seems relevant.
But what about Little Bunny Foo Foo? Where does he fit into all this?
little bunny foo foo was hopping though the forest.... scoopin up the field mice and boppin em on the head.
so glenda the good witch down came a good fairy and said - you sorry POS rodent- stop boppin the field mice on the head! And she bopped HIM on the head.
so now he wanders around dropping stolen eggs1 -

I went to WF after working out this evening and then walked home (probably burning off a whole extra hard boiled egg), and on the way passed a couple of rabbits chasing each other in a school playground. They were adorable. I did not offer them any eggs.1

I thought rabbits laid the Cadbury eggs when I was little. Turns out they lay Raisinettes instead. I hate Raisinettes.2
